‘Every right to count me out’: Volkanovski silences doubters with triumphant return to form after back-to-back knockouts

Off the back of his impressive title win at UFC 314, Alexander Volkanovski has claimed doubters were right to count him out ahead of his fight with Diego Lopes — after suffering back-to-back knockout stoppages in less than a year.

Volkanovski, who headlined the promotion’s return to Miami last weekend, returned to the top of the featherweight division to boot with a stellar performance.

Managing to begin his second reign at the featherweight limit, Australian technician, Volk outstruck the always-aggressive Lopes en route to a unanimous decision success.
