Alexander Volkanovski reveals talks for Yair Rodriguez title rematch in UFC comeback

Newly-minted featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski has revealed that while he’s not sure when his UFC comeback will occur, a second title fight with former-foe, Yair Rodriguez has been broached by promotional brass.

Volkanovski, a two-time undisputed featherweight champion, regained his throne at UFC 314 back in April, handing Diego Lopes a unanimous decision defeat in the pair’s vacant title pairing in Miami, Florida.

And snapping a two-fight losing run with his victory over the Brazilian, Volkanovski once more holds the divisional crown which he dropped at the beginning of last year in a brutal knockout loss to the unbeaten, Ilia Topuria.
