UFC fighter Umar Nurmagomedov in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net said whether Alexander Volkanovski is more dangerous than Charles Oliveira for Islam Makhachev as an opponent.
Do I agree that Volkanovski is more dangerous than Oliveira? No. Whether on a ten-day camp or a full camp, Volkanovski is still himself. What's he going to do in ten days? I don't think he's any better than Oliveira. If you haven't learned something in three years, how can you learn it in ten days?
Recall that Makhachev was originally scheduled to fight Charles Oliveira on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, but the Brazilian fighter said he suffered a deep cut during sparring and will not have time to recover. Volkanovski agreed to step in as his replacement at short notice. Makhachev has 24 wins and one loss on his record. Alex has 26 wins and two defeats.
