Alexander Volkanovski replied to Islam Makhachev’s comments about his height
Fans are often intrigued when players engage in light-hearted ridicule. It greatly increases the interest in their duel. As can be seen, the conflict between Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski is developing, when Volkanovski was described as short by Makhachev. Makhachev said in an interview “He is a short guy, and I really believe I can knock him out.” However, what makes it more intriguing is the manner Volkanovski handled the situation and his response to Islam Makhachev.
Volkanovski’s reply to Makhachev’s comment
“There’s breaking news,” Volkanovski started “I’ve been short all my life. I was short when I was in rugby league. I’ve been short since I’ve been fighting, and in all the things I’ve done (athletically). I’ve managed to deal with it, I guess. I’m a short fellow and I’ve always had to find ways in and all that stuff, so I’ve built a whole style around myself and my height.” Indeed, that was real.
He added “It’s a fact that taking someone shot down is a lot harder,” Volkanovski told Yahoo Sports. “Scrambling is a lot harder. Controlling that lower center of gravity is going to be a lot harder. I don’t think there’s a strategic reason for him to be talking like this other than maybe he thinks it’s getting into my head. Maybe he thinks I think I’m tall and he’s trying to make me realize I’m short. Maybe it’s something like that.”
