Speak, Volkanovski!
“Why not? Just put on a new belt, new opponents, I'll beat them all. I'm going to break all records,” declared the lightweight champion, at the pre-UFC 294 press conference, held last Thursday (19).
"This thing about 'I have nothing to lose' is nonsense. Don't get me wrong, Islam already exists. There's a lot of pressure and I understand that, but I had to accept this rematch because I wanted it. Win the middleweight belt, make my legacy. If I lose, my legacy will suffer. And I won't have another chance to fight him. And how much longer will I have? We don't know what will happen."
"I have a lot to lose. And his legacy will suffer if he loses. Being defeated by the champion of the lower division, who came to fight practically 12 days before the fight. Again, Islam also has its pressure on it and I don't. I don't want pressure on me, but I do have something to lose."
Speak, Makhachev!
"No, he wouldn't do that. Now I'm going to cut you there. I guarantee you that he wouldn't do what I'm doing in 12 days. I assure you,” said Volkanovski, ESPN.
"Maybe I'm crazy, but I trust myself and I'm trying to strive for greatness. I'm not criticizing anyone who wouldn't accept it. Some people wait for the perfect scenario, something I have done for the last 11 years. But I'm in the position now that I can do things like this because I've been trusting myself for the last 11 years. I have the confidence and am comfortable with who I am to handle these situations.
"If I go there and do what I'm planning, which is knocking out Islam, does he deserve an immediate rematch? The trilogy has to happen. Coming from a controversial victory and losing to the same guy, I don't know if he wins the immediate rematch. The trilogy will take place eventually, but I think there are bigger fights that the UFC will want first,” he analyzed.
"Yes, I always wanted that (fight Do Bronx). He is a big name, a big star and exciting fighter. So it is someone I've always wanted to face."
“I'm going to beat Volkanovski and then I have two opponents: (Justin) Gaethje and Charles. I think they have to fight again and whoever wins, I'll beat too,” said Makhachev, exuding confidence before his second title defense.
