Alexander Volkanovski is used to silencing his doubters. And the UFC featherweight champion wants to continue doing that as he pursues champ-champ status.
Following a successful defense against Max Holloway at UFC 276, Volkanovski expressed interest in going from 145 pounds to 155 pounds for his next fight. Since he completed his trilogy and closed the chapter with Holloway in dominant fashion, UFC president Dana White supported Volkanovski and the potential move.
Though sure he can compete with the upper echelon of the lightweight division, some have questions on how well Volkanovski would fare. The ‘Great’ looks forward to answering them when he moves up.
