Former undisputed featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski has claimed he will be fighting for a title in his return to the UFC next year, however, admits he is being swayed by the potential of a “very exciting” pairing with fellow ex-champion, Conor McGregor.
Volkanovski, a former undisputed featherweight champion and pound-for-pound number one, will look to snap a two-fight knockout losing skid in his return to action next year, most recently dropping his 145lbs crown in a stunning second round loss to Ilia Topuria in the main event of UFC 298 in February.
Prior to that, the New South Wales native headlined UFC 294 back in October in a short-notice rematch with Islam Makhachev, suffering a thunderous first round high-kick knockout defeat — coming as his first stoppage loss in the Octagon since his move to the promotion.
