UFC champ Alexander Volkanovski picks Movsar Evloev as preferred next challenger: 'For legacy'
64% Informative
Alexander Volkanovski is the first UFC champion to hold gold at age 35 or older .
The 36-year-old defeated Diego Lopes in April at UFC 314 to become the first to hold a title lighter than the welterweight division.
He says he's not too fussed about being champion again, but the story around it is really important.
UFC 's top featherweight contenders have all been vocal about their desire to take on the now two -time champion.
But having already defeated Rodriguez in 2023 , Volkanovski 's top target is undefeated Movsar Evloev .
"I don't want to be the one to turn Yair down because I like the guy, so I don't.
I'd love to take that zero , especially for legacy and where I'm at," he said.
