Alexander Volkanovski admits he had doubts over UFC 314 comeback

At one point in time, Volkanovski was the greatest fighter on the planet, with the Australian putting together an extraordinary run at featherweight, before pushing Islam Makhachev to his limits in the weight class above.

Alas, when his opportunity for a rematch came up, he took it on short notice, and lost in brutal fashion. This was followed by another devastating knockout defeat, this time to Ilia Topuria.

Of course, these results left ‘The Great’ with some mental scars.

Now, Volkanovski has opened up about the doubts he’s had ahead of UFC 314.
