Alexander Volkanovski has revealed who he wants to fight in his Lightweight title clash.
After his recent victory at UFC 276, Alexander Volkanovski has captured the number two rank in men’s pound-for-pound ranking.
Volkanovski is one of the most dominant featherweight champions of all time, his skills and dominant performances have now earned him the opportunity to become champ-champ.
Last night he appeared on MMA Hour, where he was asked “who do you think win between Islam and Charles and who do you want to win”
“At the end of the day, I just want the belt.” Said Volkanovski “What do you think is the bigger fight?” I think the bigger fight is definitely Charles Oliveira. You know, I think he has got so much hype on him now, like look at him now. We know it’s going to be an exciting fight. He’s so exciting to watch. There’s a reason why he’s exciting to watch too.”
I’ve got a lot of respect for him, but you know, I think a lot of people miss that. They miss the fact that he takes the damage. You know, he loses a good portion of these big, exciting fights. That’s why they are excited. But yeah, he is very fun. You know, a lot of people are hyped up, and I get it

I want big fights. I think Charles is definitely a bigger fight, but if Islam has that title, I’ll fight Islam.
