Recently announcing plans to make a lightweight return if he cannot secure a quickfire featherweight comeback, former champion, Alexander Volkanovski has revealed plans to land himself an “exciting” fight against Dustin Poirier.
Volkanovski, a former undisputed featherweight titleholder and prior pound-for-pound number one, has been out of action since he headlined UFC 298 back in February, dropping a stunning knockout loss to the unbeaten, Ilia Topuria in the pair’s title clash.
And revealing plans to make a 155lbs return in his next outing, Volkanovski weighed up a pairing against former undisputed divisional champion, Charles Oliveira.
