Volkanovski Seeks a Major Fight as His Career Winds Down

Alexander Volkanovski has established himself as one of the UFC’s best champions. He is willing to face anyone and compete in different weight classes, setting himself apart from champions who fight infrequently or avoid leading contenders.

At 38 years old, Volkanovski is not ready to retire, but he sees the light at the end of the tunnel and does not want to compete forever. He wants another major fight and hopes to walk away while still on top.

Volkanovski wants to fight Justin Gauche. Gauche is one of the toughest fighters in the sport, but a rematch with Depori may not appeal to him. Although Gauche earned his previous victory, Depori entered that fight as a five-to-one favorite and would likely be heavily favored again.

A fight with Volkanovski could be more attractive because of the size difference. It will be interesting to see which direction both fighters take.
