Volkanovski invites Makhachev to rematch immediately after UFC 284 ends
After the allegations of being aimed at Islam Makhachev, Alexander Volkanovski finally showed that he wanted a rematch against the Lightweight championship. He has just shared a video recorded after the wings of the UFC 284 event, showing that Makhachev agreed to rematch but not closed the event.
“We should rematch, maybe at Abu Dhabi. Next time, I will be booed,” said Alexander Volkanovski. Makhachev and his teammates also nodded. This is also one of the bases showing that Volkanovski seems to be acting, attracting attention when he said Makhachev used doping before playing.
The reason Volkanovski says Abu Dhabi is like “home” of Makhachev is because Russian boxers follow Islam. Playing in a Islamic country will help Makhachev are more energetic than anyone, especially in the context that he is likened to Khabib's human transmission on UFC.
However, it seems that both Volkanovski and Makhachev will not be able to rematch immediately. As the person holding the Featherweight championship belt, Volkanovski may have to protect the belt against Yair Rodriguez. Also at UFC 284, Yair Rodriguez won and became the temporary championship of this weight.
Meanwhile, Makhachev also has many boxers in the Lightweight weight -to -challenge to challenge him. The most prominent names are Beneil Dariush, Dustin Poirier, as well as the winner in the preparation match between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev. Those are all of UFC martial artists at the moment.
