UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has plans to make a quick turnaround if he can defeat Diego Lopes in their upcoming rematch.
In the main event of UFC 325, Alexander Volkanovski will defend his featherweight crown against rising featherweight prospect Diego Lopes. The two met for the title last year, and while Lopes certainly had his moments and even managed to drop ‘The Great’, it was ultimately Volkanovski who came away with the win with a vintage performance from the two-time champion.
Of course, there is no denying that there has been some controversy surrounding this rematch, especially due to the extent to which Alexander Volkanovski was able to defeat Lopes in their first meeting. Moreover, players like Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy have been waiting for their own gold medal for a long time.
In one recent interviewAlexander Volkanovski made some comments that should give Evloev and Murphy a little more confidence about their respective futures.
Alexander Volkanovski looks to the future
“For me, I plan on doing what I’m going to do. He’s a dangerous guy, he’s tough, we’ve seen he can take a beating. But I plan on going out there, I don’t want to take any damage, and I want to have a quick turnaround, try to get the quick turnaround that I wanted to have last time.”
‘Then maybe we can do it with someone like Movsar [Evloev] or Lerone Murphy. Again, I know they will be disappointed, but that fight won’t be far away because I will make sure that happens.
Volkanovski isn’t willing to waste time at this point in his mixed martial arts career, and that makes sense. He’s already going down in history as an absolute legend of the game, so hopefully he can go out on his own terms.
