Aware of the intentions of aljamain sterling move to the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg.) and face Max Holloway right away, Alexander Volkanovsky already has its position regarding the eventual scenario. Current champion of the category, the Australian did not hesitate when nailing the position of 'Funk Master' as the next challenger for the title should the fighter defeat the Hawaiian in an eventual duel.
“He’s a good fighter, I can see what he’s doing. (If) he beats Max, he's next (for the title fight), it's that simple. He knows this, and good for him, he's game. I'm sure he knows it's a difficult fight, but I'm sure he looks at it like, 'This is how I get to the title,' and I respect that,” said Volkanovski in an interview on 'The MMA Hour'.

On the other hand, Volkanovski is scheduled to defend his belt against Ilia Topuria No. UFC 298, on February 17th. If he maintains an unbeaten record in the category, the athlete could possibly achieve a good deed for Sterling.
