Former UFC champion in two weight categories, Irishman Conor McGregor commented on the title fight between Russian Islam Makhachev and Australian Alex Volkanovski.
The fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski topped the UFC 284 tournament, held on February 12 in Perth, Australia. The fight lasted the full five rounds, resulting in a unanimous decision win for Islam.
That was a great fight last night, lads! No losers there, just winners. I f- loved seeing it! Perth looks f- tasty too, now I see why so many Irish are there. I should've went out, former titles on the line. Congrats all at UFC.
