JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After a dominant win to defend his featherweight title, Alexander Volkanovski might have his eyes on another division.
Volkanovski (24-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC) stopped “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (17-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC), with a fourth-round TKO Saturday in the UFC 273 main event. After a pair of title wins over former champion Max Holloway and one over Brian Ortega, the win over Jung arguably was Volkanovski’s best UFC performance yet.
Volkanovski was the biggest favorite on the card, but while his win may not have been a big surprise from a betting perspective, he thinks what he did and whom he did it to speak volumes about his dominance in the division.
