Alexander Volkanovski serious about stepping in for UFC 300 headliner, Ilia Topuria fires back

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Alexander Volkanovski is happy to offer his services for UFC 300 if he gets past Ilia Topuria.

Featherweight champion Volkanovski (26-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) will look to notch his sixth title defense against unbeaten Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 298 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Volkanovski, who stepped in on short notice to save the UFC 294 headliner this past October against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, is still willing to assume that role if the promotion is struggling to find a main event for UFC 300 on April 13.
