Aware of the desire to Alexander Volkanovsky take revenge against Islam makhachev, Jon Anik believes the Australian will have to wait longer than planned. After a great victory for Justin gaethje No. UFC 291, the commentator sees that the North American has placed himself in a great position in the race for the title and that the featherweight champion (up to 65.7kg.) has become 'second plan'.
“Knowing Justin the way we all do, he's going to waste time, he's going to stand still, and he's going to wait, because this (lightweight title) is all he cares about. I think that Alexander Volkanovsky will have difficulty with this result, because I think it pushes any potential rematch between him and Islam makhachev to the background, at least in my mind”, declared Anik during a broadcast on UFC 291.

Despite Anik's speech, the lightweight category (up to 70,3 kg) will have to wait for the result of the main fight of the UFC 294Inter Islam makhachev x Charles of the Bronx. A big favorite at the bookmakers, the Russian triumphed in the first meeting against the Brazilian and exudes confidence for the rematch scheduled for October 21st.
Willing to defend his featherweight belt after recovering from an injury, Volkanovski opened the door to face Ilia Topuria in his next appearance. As much as he wants to face Makhachev again, the athlete stated that he will remain active while waiting for the opportunity.
