UFC contender Steve Garcia has said he believes Alexander Volkanovski is currently holding down the featherweight division.
As we know, Alexander Volkanovski is an absolute fan favorite in the world of mixed martial arts. That’s been the case for a long time, and his legacy grew even further in April when he defeated Diego Lopes to regain his UFC featherweight championship. Looking ahead to the future, it looks like Lerone Murphy could be the next man to face him – but that has yet to be confirmed.

Volkanovski has hinted that his return date has been pushed back slightly, and while Murphy isn’t too concerned about that, fans are eager to see the 37-year-old get back to work as he enters the final few years of his legendary career.
There are, of course, a few who will take shots at Volkanovski from time to time. An example of this is Steve Garcia, who returns on Saturday evening to face David Onama.

Garcia lunges at Volkanovski
“People are too busy cooking,” Garcia said during the UFC Vegas 110 Media Day.
“So he’s holding everyone back at the top.
“He just has to make a decision. Just choose someone!
“I don’t know, just pull it out of the hat. Someone, right? Because we’re all waiting.”
“Get the division going again.”
