Newly aged featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovsky has revealed that, although it’s unclear when the UFC comeback will occur, Yair Rodriguez, the second title fight against the former enemy, has been broached by the promotional brass.
Two-time uncontroversial featherweight champion, Volkanovski regained his throne at UFC 314 in April, appealing to Diego Lopez for a unanimous decision defeat in the pair’s vacant title pairing in Miami, Florida.
And, having snapped a two-game losing run in his victory over the Brazilian, Volkanovsky once again holds the division crown that fell in the early last year with a brutal knockout loss to undefeated Ilia Topria.
Originally intended to fight former interim gold holder Rodriguez this September, Volkanovski hopes for the birth of his next child along with his partner in that month, but as confirmed, it is unlikely that he will be featured that month.
However, to boot, the NSW fanfari confirmed speech was held in consultation to face off against the dynamic Chihuahua striker in the next title rematch.
