“Reminds me of Dana White,” Fans hilariously react to Alexander Volkanovski’s latest, hysterical call-out of Islam Makhachev

Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski are all set to meet in the octagon in a few months’ time, in Perth. The fight is supposed to be a mammoth clash between two behemoths atop their respective weight classes.

After his dominating win over Charles Oliveira at UFC 280, Islam Makhachev invited the Australian featherweight king to join him in the octagon, as the two agreed to fight soon, which was bonded by a gentleman’s shake. Although the face-off was civil, fans got a little dosage of what they UFC will put on offer early in 2023.

What is at stake is the Russian’s lightweight title and also the pound-for-pound ranking. Having just become the 155 pound champion of the world, after beating Charles Oliveira to the lightweight title in October, Makhachev’s first defence will come at the courtesy of “The Great”.

It seems like the mental warfare has already begun between the two, and the Aussie has the claim to be the first one to have fired the warning shot. Posting an image to his Instagram, he titled it, “Yo @islam_makhachev Your belts got my name on it…and my knee’s got your face on it!!” To be precise, Volkanovski’s left knee resembled a human face, and it was but natural to make any ensuing joke target the duo’s upcoming fight.
