Islam Makhachev says Alexander Volkanovski ’s team should’ve never allowed him to make a quick turnaround vs. Ilia Topuria . Less than four months after getting knocked out by lightweight champion Makhachev at UFC 294 this past October, Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) defended his featherweight title against unbeaten Topuria at UFC 298 in February. Unfortunately for Volkanovski, he was knocked out in Round 2 , and now finds himself sitting on back-to-back brutal stoppage losses. Makhachev points the finger at Volkanovski’s team for letting him compete again so soon.
