Volkanovski Targets UFC 312 Title Fight in February

Australia is set to host UFC 312 on February 8, 2025, where former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has confirmed his intention to fight for a title. Volkanovski has expressed that exciting fights, especially those for titles and financial gain, are his main focus. He is expected to face the winner of the upcoming bout between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway. This mindset follows a difficult period where he lost three of his last four matches, including a knockout against Topuria just five months after his previous defeat. Volkanovski has a professional record of 26-4, and the pressure is on him to secure a title shot, especially given the significance of fighting in his home country. He mentioned the importance of being on this card and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The potential matchup with either Topuria or Holloway represents not only a chance for redemption but could also lead to an interim title if a fight against Diego Lopes materializes. The return of UFC to Australia is a significant event for fans and fighters alike, bringing high-stakes action back to Volkanovski’s home state. With his ambition to reclaim a title, Volkanovski’s plans indicate a focused approach to his career, aiming for lucrative and high-profile fights to bolster his legacy. As he prepares for UFC 312, the anticipation builds for his next move in what could be a pivotal moment for his career.
