Alexander Volkanovski planning two more fights | MMA News
Newly topped two-time featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovksi has loads of challengers within the 145-pound division and plans to doubtlessly face two of them this yr.
“The great” defeated Diego Lopes within the UFC 314 fundamental occasion to recapture the featherweight championship. It was his first combat in 14 months, however he does not wish to wait long to get back in there.
“I guess fighting-wise, I obviously wanted to get back in there,” Volkanovski advised TMZ Sports. “I mentioned about being very active, I still want to be active. Just got to get a few things looked at, obviously a few bumps and bruises, see how that goes, talk to the UFC, and we’ll make it happen.
“I’m definitely fighting again this year, but the question is, am I doing two more?”
Volkanovski does not suppose there’s a clear prime contender within the featherweight division, though there are a few contenders vying for a title combat. No. 4 ranked Yair Rodriguez stated he was promised a title shot with a win over Patricio “Pitbull” Freire. No. 4 ranked Movsar Evloev believes he must be combating for the title subsequent. Rising Jean Silva referred to as for a title combat after his UFC 314 win over Bryce Mitchell.
“I was hoping it would be a lot more clearer, especially because I want to be active, I was hoping it would be a lot more clearer, but it’s just not. Not yet. So we’ll see,” Volkanovski said.
“I think Movsar was the name I kept mentioning, I’ve just got to see if the UFC even want that. Right? Does the UFC want that, do the people want that? I’m sure Movsar wants that, but I’ve just got to see what makes sense. But again, I’m going to be active enough where I can make sure whoever wants it, they probably both can get it done this year.”
