Volkanovski wouldn't mind taking on Lopez for the interim belt.
Former UFC featherweight champion Aleksander Volkanovski shared his thoughts on his return to the octagon.
"My next fight will definitely be a title fight, but anything can happen. Suddenly Max and Elijah will get injured in the fight. Is an interim title fight with someone like Lopez a possibility? You never know what's going to happen, so we'll see.
What if they can't make the show anytime soon or Max wins, moves up to lightweight and has a BMF bout? Will the interim belt be organized then? I haven't really discussed it, but I'll go back to the UFC and talk to them. All I know is that my next fight will be a title fight," Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.
Recall that Volkanovski has not competed since February, when he was knocked out by Elijah Topuria and lost his title.
