Alexander Volkanovski doesn’t have double champ aspirations for the time being.
Volkanovski is scheduled to defend his featherweight title in a rematch against Diego Lopes (27-7) at UFC 325 on Jan. 31 in front of a home crowd at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. A week before Volkanovski’s fight, Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje will clash for the interim lightweight title at UFC 324 in Las Vegas. Pimblett recently said that if he defeats Gaethje and Volkanovski defends his title, the featherweight champion might eye a move up to lightweight to challenge him.
