Российский боец, чемпион UFC в легком весе Ислам Махачев поделился воспоминаниями о первом титульном поединке против австралийца Александра Волкановски.
Islam Makhachev blames the UFC for his subpar performance against Alex Volkanovski in their first title fight.
He claims that the early start time of the event (5 am local time) in Perth, Australia, due to convenience for viewers in the US, disrupted his and his team's recovery after weigh-ins, putting him at a disadvantage.
He contrasts this with Volkanovski, a featherweight, who he believes didn't face the same recovery challenges.
