Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is back in the spotlight ahead of his highly anticipated return at UFC 314. During media day, Volk gave fans a glimpse into his mindset and preparation as he gears up for a title clash with rising star Diego Lopes.
Volkanovski opened up about his extended layoff and how it’s only fueled his hunger to reclaim the belt. He spoke about going all-in during fight camp, pushing himself harder than ever to come back stronger. The Aussie also addressed Ilia Topuria’s decision to vacate the featherweight title and move up to lightweight—leaving Volkanovski eager for a rematch down the line.
With Lopes pegged as a dangerous opponent, Volkanovski isn’t taking anything lightly. He called this matchup one of the biggest challenges of his career, but he’s ready to remind the world why he was one of the most dominant champs in featherweight history.
