Top Russian UFC featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov would like to fight for the championship belt with the winner of the Volkanovski vs Ortega bout.

“Yes, it would be interesting to fight the winner of Ortega - Volkanovski fight. This is a completely different motivation,” Magomedsharipov said.

The UFC title must be contested by reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega. The fight was supposed to take place on March 27, but was postponed to a later date due to the coronavirus.

Magomedsharipov had his last fight in November 2019, defeating American Calvin Kattar by unanimous decision.
