That said, the Brazilian also expressed his willingness to back up Elijah Topuria and Max Holloway's title fight, which takes place on October 26 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
"Me and my team like the idea of fighting Volkanovski in December. Alex doesn't like waiting, I don't like waiting either. It would be a great fight.
