Alexander Volkanovski Eyes Statement Win in Diego Lopes Rematch, and Second UFC Title

Two-time UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski plans to make easy work of Diego Lopes in their rematch at UFC 325. The Great’ and Lopes locked horns earlier this year at UFC 314 for the vacant 145-pound championship, and Volkanovski cruised to a unanimous decision victory.

In the rematch, Volkanovski wants to breeze past Lopes and make a statement. During a recent sitdown with MainEventTV, the Australian said:

“No disrespect to Lopes, I can go out there and make it look easy. He’s gonna think he’s leveled up; I’m gonna show him that’s not the case.
