‘What if he starts catching him?’ - Joe Rogan breaks down Makhachev vs. Volkanovski

Joe Rogan has a couple of questions about the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski.

For the first defense of his UFC lightweight championship, Makhachev shares the Octagon with Volkanovski at UFC 284, the pay-per-view scheduled for Feb. 11 at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. The UFC featherweight champion moves up from 145 pounds to 155 pounds, a weight class he fought in once in his UFC career.

The first question about Makhachev vs. Volkanovski that Rogan has is about the size difference. During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with UFC bantamweight Sean O’Malley, the UFC color commentator was curious as to how the ‘Great’ would adjust to the added weight against Makhachev.
