Volkanovski reacted to the announcement of the fight with Lopez

"Diego is definitely a dangerous guy. I'm looking forward to this fight and I'm excited. I feel great and I'm only going to get better from here on out, so that should be scary, especially for Lopez. He's going to have a tough, very tough fight. He's a great guy and I respect him. I'm sure he expects to go into the octagon and win the belt. But I'm sorry buddy, it's not going to happen," Bloody Elbow quoted Wolkanowski as saying.
