UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski commented on his staredown with lightweight division champion Islam Makhachev.
I've seen in previous interviews how confident and bold he is, but I knew that was going to change. Now he's trying to lose weight and he looks weak and insecure. I was waiting for that, so I just asked: "Are you ready?" and he said, "Yeah, sure".
