“If the tournament on the island takes place, which of you will be ready?” - wrote Volkanovsky on his Twitter addressing his question to Magomedsharipov, Max Holloway, Brian Ortega, and Chung Chan Son, better known as the "Korean zombie."
Magomedsharipov takes the third place in the list of the best fighters of the UFC featherweight division. The 29-year-old Russian has 18 victories and one defeat in MMA.
Earlier it was reported that the UFC 249 tournament will be held May 9 in Florida.
