Alexander Volkanovski Names Targeted Return Date & Likely Opponent

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (28-4-0) has set his sights on a title defense against top contender Movsar Evloev (20-0), with a return penciled in somewhere between August and September.

Volkanovski last stepped into the octagon at UFC 325 on January 31, where he beat Diego Lopes for the second time in their rematch. Evloev is the division’s top-ranked challenger, riding a ten-fight winning streak inside the UFC. The Chechen most recently ended Lerone Murphy’s unbeaten run at UFC London on March 21. UFC 331 has been mentioned as a potential target date, as Volk is eager to remain active.

“I was obviously looking for anywhere from August to September. September is being brought up a lot with everyone. There are dates that look good. Whatever works, we’ll see,” Volk said
