Islam Makhachev has voiced his opinion on Alexander Volkanovski’s quick return to the octagon to face Ilia Topuria, just four months after being knocked out by Makhachev himself at UFC 294. Volkanovski suffered another knockout loss at UFC 298, leading Makhachev to criticize Volkanovski’s team for allowing him to compete so soon.
Makhachev believes that Volkanovski’s team should have advised him to take more time off to recover after a brutal knockout. He emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body and allowing for proper recovery before stepping back into competition.
Despite the back-to-back losses, Volkanovski is now planning to take some time off before seeking an immediate rematch against Topuria at the end of the year, showing his determination to bounce back from his recent setbacks.
Conclusion:
It is crucial for fighters to prioritize their health and recovery to avoid unnecessary risks in the octagon. Volkanovski’s decision to take a break and focus on his rematch with Topuria demonstrates his commitment to returning stronger and more prepared for future challenges.
