MIAMI – Even though Alexander Volkanovski is fighting for UFC gold once again, he knows he’s in a tough spot. That’s why the former champ said he went “above and beyond” to prepare for UFC 314.
On April 12, Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) will fight in his 10th consecutive title fight. He faces Diego Lopes in the UFC 314 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) event at Kaseya Center for the vacant featherweight title.
Every UFC title opportunity is big, but Volkanovski enters this one on the heels of back-to-back title fight losses. He’s already considered to be one of the best featherweights in the promotion’s history, but some believe his best days are behind him.
