Alexander Volkanovski can relate to Dustin Poirier.
The Australian featherweight has lost both of his fights against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, a fate that Poirier met on Saturday at UFC 302 after a fifth-round submission choke against Makhachev.
And now Volkanovski is eying a matchup with Poirier (3:00 mark).
"If the timing works maybe me and Dustin can have a good fight," he said. "I know he just wants good, fun fights and we have a lot of respect for each other and I think that would be a massive fight.
