Henry Cejudo doesn’t think it’s wise for featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski to make a quick turnaround after UFC 294.
Volkanovski (26-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) stepped in on less than two weeks’ notice to challenge lightweight champ Islam Makhachev this past Saturday, but he was knocked out in the first round. After the loss, Volkanovski opened up about some of his recent mental struggles but insisted that he’s OK.
The setback marked Volkanovski’s first stoppage loss in the octagon, but “The Great” said he still intends on defending his featherweight title vs. Ilia Topuria in January, which Cejudo warns him against.
