Alexander Volkanovski Prepares for UFC 333 Title Defense Against Movsar Evloev

Alexander Volkanovski is set to defend his featherweight title against Movsar Evloev at UFC 333 on October 24. The champion expressed his disappointment at having to wait longer than anticipated for the fight, which was initially expected to occur in August or September.

Despite the delay, Volkanovski views turning 38 while defending his title as a positive aspect. He acknowledged that while he is not in his prime, he believes he can still deliver a performance that rivals his best days. His coach also indicated that retirement is not likely, even if Volkanovski were to lose this match.

Volkanovski's upcoming bout has drawn comments from other fighters, including Islam Makhachev, who suggested that the champion may be past his prime. However, Volkanovski remains confident in his abilities and is eager to prove his critics wrong.
