According to MMA Fighting the next challenger to Alexander Volkanovski’s UFC featherweight crown will be Brian Ortega. That outlet reports that this fight is set to take place at UFC 260, which is planned for March 27 and a location to be determined.
The news of Volkanovski’s next likely opponent comes hours after former featherweight champion Max Holloway (who has two recent losses to Volkanovski) wowed onlookers in the main event of UFC Fight Island 7. In the desert Holloway took a historically lopsided decision over Calvin Katter to prove that he remains one of the best 145ers in the business.
