Alexander Volkanovski reacts to UFC 325 rematch against Diego Lopes

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has given his thoughts on being booked to defend his strap against Diego Lopes at UFC 325, the same man he defeated to win the belt back in April.

Last night, Dana White shocked the mixed martial arts world by revealing that Diego Lopes would be getting a shot at Alexander Volkanovski’s world title, less than a year after ‘The Great’ beat him fairly convincingly. Given that Lerone Murphy and Movsar Evloev are both considered to be on the verge of a championship opportunity in their own right, a lot of fans and pundits were left feeling pretty confused by this decision.
