Volkanovski spoke about the excitement before the fight with Evloev n

October 24 in the main event of the tournament UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi in the octagon will meet the current champion of the featherweight division Alexander Volkanovski and undefeated Russian Movsar Evloev, who occupies the first line of the rating of the weight category.

On the eve of the confrontation, the Australian athlete admitted that he experiences unusual excitement and realizes that this fight will bring him to the limit of possibilities.

“A strange feeling. Normally, when I go out to fight, I’m not nervous and I try to control what’s going on in the octagon, but I’ll probably be a little worried before this fight. In this confrontation, I am guaranteed to reach the limit of my capabilities.

The worst pain is fatigue. There’s nothing worse than that, and we know we’re going to have to get to the point where the body can’t stand it anymore. This is the whole point of preparing for this fight, Volkanowski shared in a video posted on his YouTube channel.

In turn, Evloev, who does not know defeats in his career and has long been hungry for a titular title, will obviously also show his maximum in this confrontation. In case of victory by a referee decision, the Russian can set a UFC record and go down in the history of the league as the first champion who did not finish any fight ahead of schedule. In total, Movsar has 20 victories.

Alexander Volkanowski owns the belt for the second time, and this defense in this championship will be his second. The first he held in February this year in a rematch with Brazilian Diego Lopez. The Australian won by unanimous decision. He has 28 wins and 4 losses.
