The undisputed Featherweight Champion of UFC, Alexander Volkanovski, has arrived on Fight Island.

‘The Great’ shared a vlog on his Instagram account documenting his arrival at the scene.

One of the first things he acknowledged upon landing in Abu Dhabi was the heat. Acclimatization to new weathers will be pretty important for fighters to give their best. Although, it will be easier to adapt to warmer weathers as compared to the colder ones.

Talking about his opponent, Alexander said, “I guarantee he’s been training. I guarantee you he’s fully prepared. And I’m ready to prove everyone wrong and show everyone that I’m the best Featherweight in the world. And I’m gonna take him out.”

Max Holloway had an extremely long reign in the Featherweight division. Thus he gained the credibility of the best Featherweight in the world. And despite his loss to Volkanovski, people continue to think of Max as the best.

This is because, in their previous fight, no one could pin-point a clear winner. Even though Alex considerably outstruck ‘Blessed’, he wants to end the debate regarding the best Featherweight by ensuring that he wins in a fashion that eliminates all doubts regarding his greatness.

Do you think Volkanovski will succeed in his goal?
