🗣 Volkanovski: Strickland will pay to talk about Adesanya
Australian UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski commented on the upcoming fight between Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya.
“I’m looking forward to this fight. It’s good to have someone like Izzy or myself defending their belts here in Australia. I am very glad that you managed to do this. I think this is a great fight for Adesanya.
Obviously, Sean will talk, Sean will try to get under his skin. Then it will be fun. But I feel like Izzy will really annoy him. Especially considering the conversations that will take place. I think Sean Strickland will definitely pay for some of the things he says. Stylistically, Adesanya is a very uncomfortable opponent for him,” Sportskeeda quotes Volkanovski.

⚔️ Volkov’s coach compared Tuivasa to Lewis
Taras Kiyashko, coach of the Russian MMA fighter Alexander Volkov, compared the future opponent of his pupil Tai Tuivasa with the American Derrick Lewis.
“I would say that Lewis is a more complete and more astute fighter. But Tuivasa is quite monotonous. If it’s impossible to expect certain things from Derrick, then Tuivasa does the same thing fight after fight. She almost always starts with a low kick.
Tuivasa, like all heavyweights, has a powerful punch, which makes him dangerous. But that’s probably all. He is a good fighter, he has had a lot of fights in the UFC, but I think we will prepare as necessary,” Match TV quoted Kiyashko as saying.
