Alex Volkanovski has proved to the world why he deserves to be the champion of the featherweight division in the UFC. The Australian has never lost in the promotion and has successfully defended his title three times already. His head coach, Eugene Bareman, recently gave his thoughts on whether we will ever see the fourth installment of Volkanovski vs. Holloway.
Bareman appeared on the ‘Submission Radio’ podcast to talk about a bunch of topics. With the trilogy fight between Max Holloway and Volkanovski approaching, the hosts asked Bareman if this would be the last fight between the two or if the UFC would match them again.

Bareman answered this question humorously with an enormous sigh. He compared it to Moreno and Figueiredo saying, “I guess it wouldn’t surprise me they literally tried to do Figueiredo vs. Moreno four times.”

Bareman continued his answer saying, “I mean thankfully for us, we’re the benefits of that not happening again for a fourth time whether even though it’s due to an injury. But yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me, but yeah, we just need to put a dominant stamp on this fight and kind of like, I guess, be done with that chapter of Alex’s career.”

The two first for the first time back in 2019 in the co-main event for UFC 245. At the time, Holloway was the champion of the featherweight division and had successfully defended his belt three times. But this changed when he faced off against the Australian.
Volkanovski dominated most of the striking exchanges and was crowned champion at the end of five rounds via unanimous decision. The two re-matched only a few months later. The fans hyped this re-match, and it lived up to their expectations.
