Wolkanowski is ready to fight Oliveira.

Alex Volkanovski, former UFC featherweight champion, has declared himself ready to fight Charles Oliveira, the promotion's former lightweight champion.

"It has been brought to my attention that the fight between Elijah and Max has been confirmed. Therefore, I should now discuss the current situation with the matchmakers. I am resting for now, however I would like Elijah and Max to fight as soon as possible if their fight takes place, as I have the desire to compete again before the end of the year. I wouldn't want to wait too long. If their fight doesn't happen before the end of the year, then I will need a serious and exciting challenge. Maybe a fight against Charles Oliveira will be that," Bloody Elbow quoted Wolkanowski as saying.
