UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski confirmed that he intends to hold his next fight for the title in the lightweight division.

“I would like to fight Oliveira as it is a more high-profile fight. Let's be honest - he's a champion.

Whoever is the champion in this division, I will fight him. I want another shiny belt on my shoulder,” Volkanovski said at a press conference.

Recall that on July 3 at UFC 276, Volkanovski defeated Max Holloway by a crushing decision.
