Former UFC lightweight champion Aljamain Sterling gave his prediction for the fight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net:
I think a rematch between Volkanovski and Makhachev will be great. Alexander hurts his opponents, and everyone knows he's great at it. I expect a great fight. I'm sure it will be dangerous for both of them.
Islam Makhachev will rematch Alexander Volkanovski on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi. The athletes have already met in February 2023, at UFC 284 in Australia. Makhachev won the first fight by unanimous decision.
