""It's huge for me man. First of all fighting in Australia almost three times back-to-back and then to be alongside Volk on such a big card, and potentially his retirement fight is very special for me,""
""I think it's a fine line you got to walk. You don't want to come in too calm and too relaxed, but at the same time, you don't want to be over energetic. I just find myself in between those two worlds.""
""I think he's a very well-rounded mixed martial artist. He's a good fighter on the back foot, he's got good boxing, but overall I think I can beat him in all areas,""
""I've just got to showcase that.""
Jonathan Micallef considers fighting in Australia three times back-to-back and appearing alongside Volk on a major card as highly significant, especially if it marks Volk's retirement. Micallef balances pre-fight energy, aiming to avoid being either too calm or overly energetic by finding a controlled midpoint. He assesses his opponent as a well-rounded mixed martial artist with good back-foot skills and boxing but expresses confidence in surpassing him across all areas. Micallef emphasizes the need to demonstrate his full skill set during the fight. He faces Oban Elliot at UFC 325 on Saturday night.
