Alex Volkanovski is confident that UFC’s Australian athletes will make next month’s pay-per-view event in Perth one to remember despite the absence of former headliner, Robert Whittaker.
Although Yoel Romero stepped in to take Whittaker’s place in an interim middleweight title clash with Luke Rockhold, the New Zealand-born Australian, Whittaker, was the event’s main draw in terms of stimulating the local interest.
Making his fourth walk to the Octagon on the night, Volkanovski is one of six Australian athletes that are set to compete. According to the 16-1 featherweight, the Australian fighters are ready to put on a show.
