Despite the short notice, the Australian had announced the best version of himself for this fight. Ultimately, it was a great disappointment for him since the fight did not go beyond the first round. Aware that this was perhaps his last chance to obtain this lightweight title, the -65kg champion almost shed tears during his post-fight reaction:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_60538\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O23Ggl7KMQs?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI could have made better decisions during the fight, but I can agree that he (Islam Makhachev) is not someone you take on short notice. I needed this fight, a lot of people said \u2018it\u2019s for the money\u2019, it was much more than that. It&#8217;s hard, very hard for us athletes&#8230; I never thought that the breaks between fights would be difficult for me, but strangely when I wasn&#8217;t fighting or wasn&#8217;t in training camps&#8230; It frustrated me . I needed a fight and this opportunity arrived. I&#8217;ll be honest, I wasn&#8217;t training as much as I should have. But I had to do it! I had to grab this! I said to myself \u2018it\u2019s destiny\u2019 (\u2026) I have a wonderful family, but I don\u2019t know why, I have to stay busy. That\u2019s why I\u2019m asking the UFC to keep me busy. If I&#8217;m not active or in training camp, I&#8217;m unhappy. \u00bb<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0634\u0627\u0647\u062f &#8230;\u0631\u062f\u0629 \u0641\u0639\u0644 \u0623\u062f\u064a\u0633\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0627 \u0625\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0644 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0645\u0634\u0627\u0647\u062f\u0629  \u0635\u062f\u064a\u0642\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u064a\u0643\u0633\u0627\u0646\u062f\u0631 \u0641\u0648\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0646\u0648\u0641\u0633\u0643\u064a \u064a\u0633\u0642\u0637 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0636\u0631\u0628\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0627\u0636\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0627\u062a\u0644 \u0644\u0644\u0628\u0637\u0644 \u0627\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0645\u062e\u0627\u062a\u0634\u064a\u0641 \u0639\u0631\u0636 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC294?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC294<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Watch&#8230;Adesanya Israel&#39;s reaction to watching his friend Alexander Volkonovskiy knockout champion Islam Makhachev <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC294?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC294<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FOYXg9Mg3x\">pic.twitter.com\/FOYXg9Mg3x<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; mmamag.ma (@jamalsoussi10) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jamalsoussi10\/status\/1716132329205240121?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defeated in the first round by Islam Makhachev, Alexander Volkanovski reacted to his defeat not without emotions. &quot;\u0627\u0644\u0636\u0631\u0628\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0627\u0636\u064a\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062d\u0627\u0633\u0645\u0629&quot; \u0644\u0627\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0645\u0627\u062e\u0627\u0634\u064a\u0641 \u0628\u0637\u0644 UFC \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0640 KO \u062a\u0635\u0648\u064a\u0631 \u0645\u0646 \u062c\u0627\u0646\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0648\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0642\u0648\u0646 \ud83d\udcfd \u201cThe final and decisive blow\u201d to Islam Makhachev, the UFC champion, by KO.
