Alexander Volkanovski shared his thoughts on title win against Diego Lopes at UFC 314
UFC legend Alexander Volkanovski defeated Diego Lopes via unanimous decision at UFC 314. The Australian landed some big strikes, and also survived some heavy shots from the Brazilian. 'The Great' put himself in distinguished company as he secured his seventh win in title fights.
Volkanovski asserted that he wasn't cautious in the cage as he was coming back from back-to-back knockout losses. In the post-fight press conference, the 36-year-old said:
"While I was in there, I feel like he was there to be hit. I mean, I could have done a lot more. I could have done more. But I just wouldn't pull the trigger as much as I like even though there was shots where I could just stick out a jab and it was right there."
