UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski revealed a Conor McGregor-esque deal that made him one of the highest-paid featherweight fighters in the promotion. The Great in the UFC 276 post-fight press conference stated that he wants to be more active in the division.

However, he has defeated almost every fighter on the featherweight roster. Therefore, he might consider moving up to the lightweight for new challenges. Nevertheless, the Australian champion revealed he has been getting paid well by the company and also talked about a new deal he recently signed.

“I want to be active. But you know if my division was gonna keep me active enough, I wouldn’t have to bite. So this may be coming good time. But luckily we getting paid good,” Volkanovski said. 

“We signed a new deal. I am very happy with it. To be highest paid featherweight outside Conor (McGregor). He is pretty impressive. So, I am proud of that,” Volkanovski concluded.
