It was in Charles Oliveira’s final round of sparring, according to Dana White, that the skin over the Brazilian’s right eye was torn apart – and with it, his chance of redemption against Islam Makhachev voslot

Days out from one of the most-anticipated rematches in recent MMA history, Oliveira suffered a chasmic cut, and from the bloody sinews, Alexander Volkanovski emerged voslot

With that, one tantalising rematch was replaced by another; the MMA gods had taken away Oliveira’s opportunity for redemption against the lightweight champion, but in an instant, they had granted Volkanovski his own opportunity at the same atonement voslot

There were only a handful of grains left to fall on Oliveira, brooding inside his metaphorical sandglass, when the injury occurred; it was on 22 October 2022 that the former champion was submitted by Makhachev, and it was to be 364 days later that he would be locked in a cage with the Russian again – in the very same arena, no less, in Abu Dhabi voslot

But for a reason known only to them, the MMA deities decided to deny this cult hero his chance of defeating Makhachev, and of regaining the UFC lightweight title voslot

Oliveira, for his part, does not acknowledge these gods – only his own voslot

“Once you realise that it’s all part of God’s plan, it’s easier to accept things,” Oliveira told The Independent, coincidentally, days before suffering his injury voslot

“It took me a long time to understand that, but you just have to be able to learn to digest it voslot

God wouldn’t give me something that I can’t carry voslot

”RecommendedUFC 294 live stream: How to watch Volkanovski vs Makhachev voslot online and on TV this weekendAlexander Volkanovski admits it’s ‘crazy’ to fight Islam Makhachev on short noticeKamaru Usman to face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 after Paulo Costa withdrawsOliveira will lean all of his weight on that sentiment in the weeks to come, while 145lbs champion Volkanovski will be leaning his own weight – plus an extra 10lbs – on Makhachev in their second clash in eight months voslot

When the Australian, fighting on home turf in February, was ruled a decision loser against Makhachev, the result hardly relayed the razor-close nature of the fight voslot

Volkanovski, 35, landed more strikes than Makhachev, 30, but was marginally less clinical voslot

Makhachev secured four of his nine attempted takedowns, though that actually inspired more praise of Volkanovski than the Russian; in repeatedly denying Makhachev – and in repeatedly rising from the mat when needed – Volkanovski had proven that the defending champion was not the unstoppable force that his friend and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov so often seemed voslot

The impressiveness of Volkanovski’s performance was only augmented by the fact that he was moving up in weight voslot

In fact, the Australian remained the Indy Sport pound-for-pound No 1 despite his loss to Makhachev voslot

It was a showing in stark contrast to Oliveira’s against Makhachev, in which the jiu-jitsu specialist was beaten at his own game: submitted by the Russian wrestler in Round 2 voslot

Oliveira did not do himself justice that night, but justice was on the agenda for UFC 294 voslot

Instead, Volkanovski will bring his well-rounded game to the Etihad Arena, where he weighed in as a back-up fighter for Oliveira’s defeat by Makhachev one year ago voslot

Since that fateful evening, Oliveira has bounced back with a dismissive knockout of Beneil Dariush, while Volkanovski also got back to winning ways by stopping interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez in July voslot

Those circumstances complicate the question of whether Volkanovski can go one voslot better than he did in his initial clash with Makhachev; this time, the Aussie will challenge the Russian on just 11 days’ notice, having recently undergone hand surgery voslot

Volkanovski is a consummate professional who will arrive as fight-fit as his body will allow, but even “Alexander The Great” has admitted that he does not want to find out how his cardio will hold up voslot

“We’ll try to make sure it doesn’t go five rounds,” he told Australian media last week voslot

“I want to finish it early, I don’t want to test his gas tank voslot

Don’t get me wrong, I think I can do it, but let’s not try and test it voslot

”Oliveira would have snapped your hand off for such a finish voslot

voslot Better yet, he would have snapped Makhachev’s arm off for one voslot

If Volkanovski can secure a stoppage, it will be one of the most arresting visuals in UFC history, in part due to the factors surrounding this new main event voslot

The same would apply to the co-main event, in which Kamaru Usman is on a similar venture to Volkanovski voslot

The former welterweight champion will fight at 185lbs for the first time as he replaces Paulo Costa against Khamzat Chimaev, perhaps the fiercest prospect in MMA, on 10 days’ notice voslot

For all of the attributes that the Nigerian-American has exhibited in a Hall of Fame-worthy career, never has his courage been as clear as it is now voslot

“I didn’t get that big moment of the whole underdog story,” he said last week, discussing the pair’s first bout voslot

“I remember thinking just a few days ago: ‘I’m not gonna really get that moment if I fight him again, I’m not gonna be this crazy underdog voslot

’ People [have seen] what I can do, so they’re gonna back me voslot

But now on 11 days’ notice, I’m sort of in the same position, where people are gonna say: ‘There’s no way – short notice, he’s crazy voslot

’”Volkanovski may just be voslot

He is also one of the most courageous fighters in a field full of them voslot

Of course, Makhachev also deserves credit; he, too, is fighting a pound-for-pound talent on short notice voslot

Indeed, many fans have remarked on how the fighters’ gambles have made UFC 294 an even stronger card than it already was voslot

It is the sort of rebound against adversity that voslot boxing, for example, would never be able to execute voslot

However, that is in large part due to the lower prize money on offer in the UFC, and the resultant need for fighters to take risks voslot

Yet it is also partly down to the overemphasis on losses in voslot boxing voslot

If Volkanovski were to suffer a third career loss on Saturday, he would still be in the conversation around modern UFC greats – perhaps all-timers, too voslot

Would a champion or contender in voslot boxing risk their record and reputation by fighting an elite opponent on a compromised camp? There is little evidence for it, monetarily there is no need for it, but there also shouldn’t be an expectation of it; just as there should be no expectation for a UFC fighter to accept a short-notice fight, even when the alternative is fans disputing their bravery voslot

Make no mistake: Although Volkanovski is one of the most-respected fighters in the UFC and is being heralded as a hero right now, he would have had his detractors if he had turned down this fight – even on 11 days’ notice voslot

It is as true as it is hard to believe voslot

Never mind the danger to Thompson’s health and prospects of ever challenging for a UFC title again, many fans were quick to turn on the veteran voslot

On that occasion, it was too late for a replacement to be found, and the bout collapsed voslot

Even Oliveira and Costa have had their fair share of criticism for withdrawing from UFC 294, despite their injuries and the calibre of their opponents voslot

Volkanovski has gotten credit in the build to UFC 294, but the last week has highlighted how fans tend to praise the UFC’s recovery in situations like this, rather than focusing on the unideal factors that allow the company to adapt in this manner voslot

And so, a cut above Charles Oliveira’s eye became a tear in the fabric of UFC 294, only for the promotion to stitch the card back together as only they can voslot

Maro Itoje has praised the courage of his England rugby teammate Tom Curry after the conclusion of the investigation into Curry’s allegation that Bongi Mbonambi directed a racial slur at him voslot

World Rugby announced a conclusion to their investigation into the matter this morning citing a lack of evidence, a decision described by both England head coach Steve Borthwick and the Rugby voslot Football Union (RFU) as “deeply disappointing” voslot

Curry had accused Mbonambi, the South Africa hooker, of calling him a “white c***” during last Saturday’s final, and separately having also made a remark towards him during the autumn international voslot between the two nations last November voslot

Both England and Sale Sharks have condemned the abuse and threats that their player has received as a result of making his allegation during last Saturday’s World Cup semi-final voslot

And Itoje has said it is “disgraceful” that “the innocent party” in the matter had been targeted in such a way voslot

Maro Itoje has praised Tom Curry’s courage (Getty Images)“Tom is the innocent party in this respect,” Itoje said voslot

“He is the victim of the situation voslot

For him to have this abuse is disgraceful voslot

“I think Tom has been tremendous voslot

He’s been courageous to do what he’s done in the manner he’s done it, through proper channels, conducting himself in a manner he should be proud of voslot

“Definitely as teammates, we are proud of him voslot

To do that isn’t easy voslot

To make a statement like that isn’t easy voslot

To call out stuff like that isn’t easy voslot

“As you’ve seen this week, when you do something courageous like that, you put yourself out there voslot

He’s been absolutely fantastic in that regard voslot

”The RFU issued a statement immediately after World Rugby released their decision saying they were “deeply disappointed” that a full disciplinary hearing had not been held voslot

That sentiment was echoed by Borthwick a day ahead of England’s bronze medal match against Argentina voslot

“The RFU expressed great disappointment at World Rugby’s decision and that disappointment is shared by Tom, his teammates, the management team and everyone associated with this team,” Borthwick stressed voslot

“Tom Curry has done nothing wrong, let’s be clear on that voslot

We have got a victim of a situation who has not been able to have his voice heard voslot

“By World Rugby’s decision, they have denied the victim of the situation, Tom Curry, [a chance] to have his voice heard voslot

That’s where the disappointment really comes in voslot

”Mbonambi has been picked to start for South Africa in the World Cup final against New Zealand voslot

Curry, meanwhile, will start on the blindside for England at the Stade de France on Friday night voslot
