A ranked fighter within the UFC featherweight division needs champion Alexander Volkanovski to retire early and has already despatched a lethal warning to the Australian.
Present and two-time 145-pound kingpin “The Nice” defended his title in opposition to Diego Lopez at UFC 325 earlier this yr and cruised to a unanimous resolution victory.
Volkanovski is anticipated to make his subsequent title protection later this yr in opposition to world No. 1 and undefeated title contender Movsar Evloev.
Evloev most lately defeated Lerone Murphy at UFC London and has already begun coaching for his subsequent battle, which can doubtless be a title shot.
In the meantime, the Australian champion has signed a brand new contract with the UFC and is ready to tackle plenty of undefeated featherweight prospects who really deserve a shot on the title.

Steve Garcia, the No. 9 ranked ahead prospect, is on a seven-fight profitable streak within the UFC. He’s subsequent scheduled to face Diego Lopez, Volkanovski’s former opponent. “Imply Machine” plans to place Lopez to sleep in Spherical 1 of his opening act at UFC Freedom 250, then set his sights firmly on Alexander Volkanovski.

“I need that strap (after beating Diego Lopez). Give me that strap. That is what I need. To be trustworthy, I believe Volk ought to retire. If he would not, I will retire him. That is what is going on by means of my thoughts proper now…If I can get to him (Volkanovski), I believe we will do it.”
