Confirming plans to feature at a now-slated UFC 312 card in Syndey next year, Alexander Volkanovski has revealed he plans to confront the victor of this month’s featherweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway inside the Octagon after UFC 308 — hoping to lure the victor into a rematch.
Volkanovski, a former undisputed featherweight champion and prior pound-for-pound number one, has been out of action since he suffered a stunning second round knockout defeat to the above-mentioned Topuria in the main event of UFC 298 earlier this annum.
Dropping his first defeat at the featherweight limit in the process, Volkanovski, who entered the bout off the back of a devastating lightweight title fight rematch loss to Islam Makhachev the prior October — confirmed plans to feature in a title fight as soon as February, with the promotion hosting a UFC 312 flagship card ‘Downunder’ once more.
