Volkanovski believes Makhachev may have used IV after losing weight before the match
MOSCOW, February 14 – RIA Novosti. Australian Alexander Volkanovski, winner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title in the featherweight division, believes that Russian Islam Makhachev can use a dropper to get rid of weight loss before fighting him.
