UFC legend Max Holloway has backed his former foe Alexander Volkanovski to defeat Diego Lopes – but admits that it’s going to be a close encounter.
Tomorrow night, Alexander Volkanovski will attempt to regain the UFC featherweight championship. He will do so against Diego Lopes, one of the rising stars of the division. Some have counted Volkanovski out, suggesting that his recent knockout defeats to Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria indicate that his skills have declined.
Others, meanwhile, are of the opinion that Alexander Volkanovski still has what it takes to be the best featherweight on the planet.
