UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has indicated that he would be open to a future champion-versus-champion fight against newly crowned lightweight titleholder Justin Gaethje.
Following Gaethje’s dramatic victory over Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250, discussions have started regarding potential blockbuster matchups involving the veteran lightweight champion. One possibility that has caught attention is a cross-division clash with Volkanovski.
The Australian champion acknowledged the challenge such a fight would present but made it clear that he would welcome the opportunity if the UFC decided to pursue it. Volkanovski has never shied away from high-profile fights and has previously moved outside his division in search of major challenges.
While no official negotiations have been announced, the idea has generated significant interest among MMA fans. A matchup between two of the sport’s most respected veterans would likely become one of the UFC’s biggest attractions.
For now, Volkanovski remains focused on his own title reign, but he has left the door open for a future showdown should the promotion decide to bring the champions together.
