First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence gcash
Then, the crack in his voice gcash
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 gcash
That is, until now gcash
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 gcash
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little gcash
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable gcash
But soon may be too soon gcash
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 gcash
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 gcash
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began gcash
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that gcash
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes gcash
gcash
gcash
Sorry, um gcash
gcash
gcash
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it gcash
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp gcash
gcash
gcash
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 gcash

”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 gcash
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer gcash
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 gcash
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession gcash
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted gcash
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable gcash
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring gcash
It must gcash
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January gcash
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 gcash
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave gcash
That is even clearer now than it was last week gcash
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it gcash

New Zealand coach Ian Foster has revealed that he feels a couple of subtle tweaks to his squad for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final will be enough to match South Africa’s “bomb squad” gcash
The Springboks have loaded up on bench forward might for the showpiece Paris decider, including seven pack replacements in their 23 gcash
The seven/one bench split was a gambit first employed in South Africa’s strong warm-up win over New Zealand at Twickenham in August, with the replacement pack brought on together and immediately win a scrum penalty gcash
But rather than matching their opponents and including extra forwards among their bench eight, the All Blacks have kept faith with a traditional five/three combination gcash
Coach Foster has made a couple of personnel changes among those five replacement forwards, though, with veteran lock Sam Whitelock dropped to the bench and tighthead prop Nepo Laulala brought in at Fletcher Newell’s expense gcash
All Blacks props Nepo Laulala, Tamaiti Williams and Tyrel Lomax will be key to the final (Getty Images)And Foster feels his side are fully equipped to defuse any potential bench impact gcash
“It is certainly a response [to the Springboks’ bench],” Foster confirmed of his tweaks gcash
“Not so much a response to the power, but more to the techniques we expect to have to deal with gcash
“Nepo is a very strong scrummager and very experienced gcash
He’s trained so well and has probably been disappointed that he didn’t play the last two gcash
It is a great occasion for him gcash
“He’s alongside Samisoni [Taukei’aho], with the likes of Sam Whitelock on the bench, we really believe and have got a lot of confidence in that group coming on gcash
”The final should present a fascinating clash of styles, with Handre Pollard’s selection at fly half ahead of Manie Libbok another indicator of South Africa’s preference for a tighter game gcash
That contrasts with the All Blacks’ ability to keep the ball alive and play wide, ambitious rugby gcash
“That’s what I love about the game,” Foster said gcash
“People play different ways and try different things gcash
[South Africa] have got their way that they think suits their strength gcash
“The [seven/one split] doesn’t really change anything in what we do gcash
It doesn’t impact our game and the way we want to play it gcash
Our strategy suits us, their strategy suits them gcash
It makes it interesting on Saturday night gcash
