Alexander Volkanovski: ”It’s not worth the cops”

Alexander Volkanovski commented on the situation in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel.

“Something happened in the lobby between two guys,” Volkanovski said. ”One was a fighter; I don’t know if the other guy was a fighter. I don’t think he was random, but stuff happened. “There might have been a little punch thrown. The other guy tried to get to him. Security tried to stop it. I’m like, ‘It’s not worth it, it’s not worth the cops.’ I’m trying to stop it.”

“Guys were stepping and getting around all the security guards. I was trying to help, but he stepped around me as well. I’m like, ‘This guy has got some good movement.’ He’s going again. I’m trying to tell him to ‘chill out.’ Again, he’s come on; I’ve tried to grab him. We almost ran into the bottom of the stairs, so we sort of went down. I fell to my knees. As I’m trying to hold him, he slipped out. I was like, ‘This guy is very slippery.’”

Alexander Volkanovski has not fought since losing his featherweight title to Ilia Topuria at UFC 298 in February. At the moment, Volkanovski has no fight planned.
