Henry Cejudo is giving Alexander Volkanovski a word of warning about his decision to be the backup fighter for Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev.
Oliveira and Makhachev are vying for the vacant UFC lightweight championship at UFC 280, but if anything goes wrong with either fighter before the pay-per-view event, Volkanovski will fill in immediately. The ‘Great’ has spoken about becoming the next two-division champion in the UFC, so he seized the potential opportunity to do so once he was cleared to return from injury. However, not everyone agreed with his decision to be the backup fighter.
