UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is determined to have his next fight be for the lightweight title.
Volkanovski (25-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) has his mind set on getting the opportunity to become a two-division champion, despite having two contenders in his weight class chomping at the bit to be his next challenger.
Top contenders Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett seem to be the clear candidates for the next shot at 145 pounds. Volkanovski is well aware, and that’s why he wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title in place as he tries to capture more gold in another division.
