Conor McGregor
Awesome night of UFC fights tonight! Garry is going to run thru Geoff in the first round. Volk will get hurt early but come back and KO Ilia. Over in 2 rounds. [Paulo] Costa and [Robert] Whittaker will have a good 3 round exchange as will Merab [Dvalishvili] and Henry [Cejudo].
Volkanovski faced Islam Makhachev at UFC 294 in October 2023, suffering an early knockout loss. He holds a record of 26 wins and three losses.
