The featherweight division of the UFC is starting to get more and more exciting by the minute. Of course, housing some great names like Brian Ortega, Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, and various others, the division has been overshadowed by the likes of lightweight, welterweight, and heavyweight.

Alexander Volkanovski reigning in the featherweight division has opened up various opportunities to skyrocket the division once more. 

With three title defenses in his belt, Volkanovski expressed his interest in moving up to the lightweight division of the UFC. With two options ahead of Volkanovski, a third one seems to have potentially opened. As we know, Volkanovski, given his skill and dominance in the division, might stay there for a significantly long time. 

An undefeated reign with no real challenge can be boring to watch. That being said, Bellator featherweight Patrício Freire called out Alexander Volkanovski during his post-fight interview at Bellator 277. 

Talking about potential fights and his dreams to achieve the most in the sport, here is what the three-time featherweight had to say about it. 

“If Dana White have some balls, let’s put champion against champion. That’s my goal.” The three-time featherweight champion stated this after his redemption win against A.J. Mckee. Known for redeeming himself through rematches, Pitbull’s road to three-time featherweight champion has been through rematches.

This could be a super fight between two different promotions in the MMA world. UFC and Bellator MMA are two of the most renowned promotions in the world of MMA. Making a champion versus champion is a huge deal. But the question is, are two of these champions a big enough draw? 

Will Alexander Volkanovski fight Patricio Pitbull? 

Making super-fights are no easy task. The whole fight needs to run on the media traction of both the fighters. For instance, the Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather fight was globally publicized, and the fight carried itself, given how big stars both of them are.

On the other hand, Patricio Pitbull and Alexander Volkanovski still have a long way to go before their fight could carry the media hype by itself. Both of them might be skilled on a level like no other, but the fans’ perception of them needs to change. 

They still aren’t known to be a big enough draw for a cross-promotional super fight. Hopefully, the fight sees the light of day in the next few years, given if both fighters reach superstardom in their respective promotions.
