Alexander Volkanovski acknowledges that he has begun weighing how much longer his MMA career will last.
Volkanovski is scheduled to put his featherweight championship on the line in a high-stakes rematch against Diego Lopes, headlining UFC 325 on January 31 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
“The Great” reclaimed the then-vacant 145-pound title with a unanimous decision victory over Lopes at UFC 314 in April 2024, sparking discussion about how much longer he intends to remain an active competitor.
At 37 years old, the Australian veteran is set to make his 32nd professional appearance after a career spanning more than 14 years, marked by punishing battles and multiple knockout losses, with speculations intensifying over whether UFC 325 could ultimately be Volkanovski’s final walk to the Octagon.
