It’s always a huge thing when two active champions square up in the Octagon, but this is a particularly unique scenario because Volkanovski (25-1) of Australia is the top-ranked fighter overall, and Makhachev (23-1) is typically regarded as a top-10 or even top-5 fighter (the UFC has him at No. 3).
As for the result, Makhachev is expected to crush Volkanovski’s hopes, likely because the Russian will be the larger combatant inside the Octagon. However, Volkanovski also has a lot going for him, not the least of which is one of the most well-rounded skill sets in the sport right now.
