White says Alex Volkanovski ‘can do whatever he wants,’ open to UFC lightweight title fight next

Dana White is on board with the idea of Alexander Volkanovski moving up in weight to fight for a second UFC world title.

White said Volkanovski could effectively “do whatever he wants” if he defeats Max Holloway at UFC 276, leaving the door open for a possible super-fight against uncrowned lightweight champ, Charles Oliveira.

“So, Volkanovski is one of those guys who has earned the respect of everybody, I would say, by now. You know, he’s got this Holloway fight that probably makes sense for him to do this and put this behind him,” White told The Mac Life’s Oscar Willis during a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda).
