Video: How would UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski fare against top lightweights?
UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski may move up a weight class.
Following Volkanovski’s successful title defense over Chan Sung Jung at UFC 273, the champ said he is considering a return to the lightweight division if a bout with Max Holloway isn’t next.
Volkanovski sent a message to the featherweight division during his post fight interview in the cage, telling his peers to get their stuff together and make a case for a shot at his title. If he does decide to move up, there are plenty of intriguing matchups for Volkanovski in the lightweight division.
How would he fare against the top names at 155 pounds? Could he step up to a title fight immediately? If so, what are the chances that he captures the title to become a two-division champion?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Matthew Wells, Mike Bohn and Brian “Goze” Garcia discuss Volkanovski’s potential at 155 pounds with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia in the video above.
