Despite a crushing defeat at UFC 294, Alexander Volkanovski’s plans haven’t changed: He wants Ilia Topuria in January.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI really don’t want to see volk lose again. Hopefully he comes prepared this time.
minus-squareameisenigel@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoEspecially considering that it might well be a knockout if he loses. And two KOs in such quick succession have got to be terrible for long term health.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYeah illia is no joke he’s got crazy power. I hope that volk isn’t feeling pressured to fight frequently because he sees himself running out of time.
