UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski spoke about his future career plans.

“I am now in a position where there are several options. If the featherweight division isn't going to decide on a contender for my belt, then so be it. In that case, I'll go up to light weight.

I think we are now in a good position to transition. We'll probably see what happens in the Oliveira vs Gaethje fight and then we'll probably move up. I have already shown how many levels I am ahead of the fighters in my division, so maybe I will rise to lightweight, ”quotes the Australian MMA Mania.

On April 10 at UFC 273, Volkanovski made his third defense of his title by knocking out "Korean Zombie" Chen Sung Jong.
