Alexander Volkanovski truly put on a master class at UFC 273 to affirm his place atop the division. The 33-year-old native of Australia will now look forward to gaining more title defenses under his belt. Let’s take a look at Volkanovski’s next potential fights.
Previously, Holloway and Volkanovski clashed at UFC 251 for the featherweight title. It was ‘The Great’ who came out at the top with a decision victory. A rematch against the featherweight will make more sense.
Volkanovski and Ortega did put out an incredible show at UFC 266. It was indeed hard for Volkanovski to survive Ortega’s submission attempts. This match, if happens again will attract many eyeballs.
Yair Rodriguez is a featherweight prospect who cannot be ignored in this list. The Challenger has recently called out the champion. ‘El Pantera’ will try his best to win if he gets a title shot.
Calvin Kattar has risen in the division again after his win over Giga Chikadze. Kattar can be considered a potential challenger for Volkanovski in the featherweight division.
Arnold Allen has brilliant numbers as a featherweight prospect. With only one loss by far, the British fighter has won all of his last 5 matches in the UFC. Volkanovski vs Allen could be an exciting contest.
