Alexander Volkanovski is one of the few undefeated fighters left in the UFC, as he won all of his 12 fights under the Las Vegas-based promotion, which is the primary reason he is the current and reigning featherweight champion of the world. Because of this immaculate run, he became a perpetual name in online sports betting through UFC odds.
The Aussie is fresh off his fourth title defense against Max Holloway with a dominant and lopsided unanimous decision victory. It also closed their rivalry as both men were able to meet three times inside the Octagon. But when will the number one-ranked pound-for-pound athlete in the world be back in action?
When Is Alexander Volkanovski’s Next Fight?
Alexander Volkanovski’s next fight will be on February 11, 2023, against reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev in RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. This will be a champion-versus-champion showdown for the UFC Lightweight Title.
Volkanovski will move up in weight to challenge Makhachev in an attempt to be the latest double-weight champion. “The Great” earned this opportunity because he was able to clear the title challengers in the 145-pound division.
