First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence boxing
Then, the crack in his voice boxing
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health boxing
That is, until now boxing
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior boxing
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little boxing
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable boxing
But soon may be too soon boxing
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago boxing
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi boxing
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began boxing
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that boxing
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes boxing
boxing
boxing
Sorry, um boxing
boxing
boxing
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it boxing
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp boxing
boxing
boxing
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room boxing

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up boxing
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it boxing
I had to take it boxing
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be boxing
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in boxing
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family boxing
But, I don’t know boxing
boxing
boxing
I think you just need to keep busy boxing
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in boxing
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it boxing
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand boxing
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife boxing
My wife could see it does get hard, I don’t know why boxing
”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training boxing
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer boxing
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight boxing
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession boxing
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted boxing
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable boxing
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring boxing
It must boxing
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January boxing
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him boxing
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave boxing
That is even clearer now than it was last week boxing
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it boxing
