UFC: Despite a bloody first-round knockout from Islam Makhachev in UFC 294, Alexander Volkanovski remains upbeat and wants to be 'kept busy' by the UFC with another fight in the near future.
But even in his most vulnerable state, Volkanovski showed the true champion he is by immediately setting his sights on Ilia Topuria and defending his featherweight belt.
“I don’t do well when I’m not fighting. I needed to take this fight because it’s doing my head in when I’m not fighting. So please keep me busy.
