Alexander Volkanovski was initially on board with an immediate rematch against Max Holloway but, after re-watching the fight at home, the newly-crowned UFC featherweight champion isn’t so sure the match-up makes sense.
Volkanovski, who beat Holloway via unanimous decision and snapped ‘Blessed’s’ 14-fight win streak at featherweight, says the fight wasn’t as close as he had originally thought.
Speaking to MMA Fighting on Monday, the New South Wales, Australia-based talent said an immediate rematch with Holloway wouldn’t be his first choice for his first title defense but would accept the fight if that’s what the UFC offered.
