“Man, I was really looking forward to this fight. I really was. And I had started preparing, I was ready to enter camp, get things started and finish this chapter soon. But as the 'Blessed One' (Holloway) says...it is what it is. But it was regrettable. Of course it's a great fight, I know people wanted to see it. But what can I do? That will just have to wait a little longer,” said Volkanovski.
