Report – Alexander Volkanovski title rematch with Yair Rodriguez planned by UFC next

According to reports this evening, an undisputed featherweight championship rematch between Alexander Volkanovski, and former interim gold holder, Yair Rodriguez is currently on the UFC’s radar — for the next championship outing at 145lbs.

Volkanovski, who reclaimed the championship last month at UFC 314, did so in impressive fashion in a one-sided unanimous decision win over surging contender, Diego Lopes in the pair’s vacant title pairing in Miami, Florida.

And on that same card, former interim champion, Rodriguez snapped his losing skid in a unanimous judging win of his own over promotional newcomer, former two-weight Bellator MMA champion, Patricio Pitbull.
