Islam Makhachev is taking a risk here too, as he prepared for Charles Oliveira who is a very different opponent than Alexander Volkanovski. I'm sure Islam would have prepared differently for Volkanovski and would have brought Khabib Nurmagomedov on board earlier. Nevertheless, it's amazing to see this rematch happen so soon.

That's not the fighter's call. These guys will get assess and evaluated through medical before they are green lighted to fight. I am pretty sure that gash on the eyebrow of Oliveria is pretty bad. Fighters have been stopped many times in bouts do to that kind of gash. Nate and Nick has fought were their bout was stopped do to that kind of injury. The top cut on the eye is worse than a bottom-cut because depending on how bad that cut is, it will cause the eyelid to swell and droop over in which you will lose your peripheral vision.

Dana, Bruce buffer and Joe Rogan are the main reason the UFC is such a special company, when they retire it will never be the same
What the heck! Two weeks before the fight you gotta be extra careful in training and especially sparring, all protective gear, how do you get an injury like that right before the fight?
Knew this was coming. Ridiculous. The ufc need to start fining fighter's who pull out.
Volk said himself with a full camp dedicated to fighting Islam, using everything he now knows having the experience of fighting him, directing that knowledge towards an entire camp sharpening his skillset in the way he and his team know is needed to not only defeat Islam but win in a dominant fashion. Then he accepts the fight on short notice, not having the camp even he admitted is needed to undoubtedly do enough to take the belt from Islam. Which i knew he wouldn't turn down having another chance, but I just hope for his sake accepting on short notice isn't a mistake...

Sparring few days before the fights... Do you really have to do that after having an entire camp months before?!?

Why did they have gamrot as the backup for this fight if they weren't going to use him in a pull out situation? Like that is literally what the backup is there for. Nobody wants this fight unless they both have a full training camp for each other. It isn't going to be anywhere near the fight we deserve

I’d wager Volk is always in shape. He probably just needs to cut weight and I’m sure he’s been working on his wrestling since he lost the fight. Crazy thing is Volk Topuria is confirmed for January to open the year as the first PPV card, so he’s got a fight in 3 months after this rematch.

🤡 eyebrow is one of the worst places to get cut. With enough punches that would be opened up easily which can lead to blood in his eye to impede his performance or to have a ref or doctor stop the fight. I can wager just about anything you’ve never been in a fight let along a cage to insinuate he didn’t want to fight. I don’t use the “C” word but your take is about as much of it as it comes.
