Michael Chandler advises Alexander Volkanovski to decrease following back-to-back KO losses: “Your brain can turn off”

Michael Chandler Advises Alexander Volkanovski To Take More Time Off

Throughout a look on MMAFighting.com’s “The MMA Hour,” Michael Chandler revealed his belief that Alexander Volkanovski might not be providing his brain and body sufficient time to recuperate, resulting in his current bad luck inside the Octagon.

“Man, I never ever wish to reinforce the story of somebody perhaps making a bad choice, however it would perhaps provide itself to that, right?” Chandler stated. “I suggest, Volk coming out, taking that battle on brief notification, and after that battling– what?– 3 and a half, 4 months after, which implies you’re back into a training school, back sparring, taking blows to the head once again, simply month and a half, 2 months later on. It’s not the best dish, so to speak. Nearly practically the specific reverse of what I’ve done. And this is why you can take a look at that and you can state, ‘Man, Volk may have had a various result that night had he not gone right back into a training school.’

“It is a genuine thing. Your brain can shut down, your body can shut down, and there is a reducing impact when it becomes able to take punches. And yeah, I do not wish to state that was why it occurred, however I wish to see the very best for Volk. I wish to see him take a seat a bit, delight in a long time with his household, still remain involved however do not take any punches to the head, male, due to the fact that we require him in the sport for a little while longer.”

UFC CEO Dana White has actually confessed he’s interested in reserving an occasion for Spain including Ilia Topuria. It’ll be fascinating to see if Volkanovski gets an instant rematch.
