UFC: Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev have traded barbs at one another over the rehydration drama that plagued their first fight in Perth.
ABU DHABI — Daniel Cormier has branded Alexander Volkanovski a “killer” who must now be added to any UFC GOAT conversation, declaring: “What the guys has done already is crazy”.
Should the Wollongong native win, he will become just the fifth ‘champ champ’ in UFC history – joining Cormier, Conor McGregor, Henry Cejudo and Amanda Nunes. “Because a lot of people considered the greatest of all time, they’re guys that won belts and defended them in their weight class.“Demetrious Johnson dominated his weight class.Everything you need to know ahead of UFC 294Cormier added soon after that while other featherweight contenders like Ilia Topuria “will argue you to death” about them being a legitimate challenger for his crown, “when you look down the line, it’s hard to see a guy at that weight class who’s going to give him difficulty”.
Asked about the Australian’s ongoing rise and rise, DC continued: “Every time Volk goes in there he gets better.“Fight one between them was like this . “If he had beat Francis, there’d be no doubt about it,” Cormier continued of Jones, who doubles as his own longtime rival.“But those other guys should be number one and two.”“Becoming a UFC champion in one weight class is impossible,” Cormier said.
