UFC: Dana White reveals that Australian fighter Alexander Volkanovski is one of the few fighters in the company that would fight anyone at anytime.

Australia’s Steve Erceg has had his UFC 305 preparations interrupted by an angry text exchange with dumped flyweight star Muhammad Mokaev -- who has demanded to know “why are you talking s*** about me?”Fox Sports Australia

UFC 305 LIVE FROM PERTH: DU PLESSIS VS ADESANYA | SUN 18 AUG 12PM AEST | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.The surprise axing was initially put down to a physical exchange between Mokaev and another UFC fighter, Manel Kape, which took place prior to their recent bout at UFC 304 in the UK.

Asked about the drama on the eve of his first hometown UFC fight, Erceg said on Monday: “Look, I’ve thought about what I said and, while it was completely truthful, I don’t like kicking a man when he’s down.“But I was asked a question, I answered it and I try and make it my business not to lie.“But now, I wish all the best.

Back in May, Erceg almost caused one of the greatest upsets in UFC history – with only an unfortunate fifth round error costing him in his championship bout against reigning division king Alexandre Pantoja. “Little things that are just disrespectful that I thought were odd. He’s a young kid, hopefully he’ll learn from this moment.”
