“You laugh like a high school girl,” Alexander Volkanovski hilariously confronts Daniel Cormier for laughing too hard at miserable Islam Makhachev jokes

Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is gearing up for an exciting showdown against Yair Rodriguez. The highly anticipated matchup will headline the main event of UFC 290. Volkanovski has solidified his dominance in the featherweight division, showcasing an impressive streak of performances. Nevertheless, the Australian fighter remains acutely aware of the dangerous threat that Rodriguez poses.

Volkanovski recently made an appearance on ESPN MMA to preview UFC 290. In the episode of DC & RC with Daniel Cormier and Ryan Clark, they discussed Ilia Topuria’s dominant win against Josh Emmett and debated where he stands in the 145-pound title picture. UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski discussed his preparation to fight Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290. They also brought up whether Volkanovski wants a rematch in the future against Islam Makhachev.

This is when Ryan Clark brought up the aftermath of the Makhachev vs Volkanovski fight. “You laugh like a high school girl,” Clark said as he brought up the secret of how Cormier reacted after the fight. Clark humorously accused Cormier of supporting Islam instead of Alexander Volkanovski. As a result, the Australian hilariously confronts a denying Cormier.

Meanwhile, Yair Rodriguez poses a formidable challenge against Volkanovski’s title defense. As a highly unpredictable striker, Rodriguez possesses a wide array of skills that he can use to his advantage at UFC 290.
