VIDEO: Remember Do Bronx's prediction for the fight between 'tormentor' Makhachev and Volkanovski at UFC 284

Former UFC lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg), Charles of the Bronx is eyeing a confrontation between Islam makhachev e Alexander Volkanovsky. In an exclusive interview with SUPER LUTAS channel on 'YouTube', the Brazilian analyzed the balance of the confrontation and also named the favorite for the title. The two fighters face each other in UFC 284 next Saturday (11).

“They are two great fighters. Alexander defends takedowns very well, hits and kicks very hard. On the other side, Islam is a guy who has been moving forward the whole time, putting things down and muffling them the whole time. If Islam manages to stifle it and put it down, he doesn't have much to do. If Alexander keeps playing the way he does and connects the hand, it's great timing. They are different styles. (…) I think Islam wins, because it stifles and puts it down. But if Volkanovski manages to defend the takedowns in the first round and manages to connect some hands (he can win)”, said Charles.
