Alex Volkanovski Says It's Diego Lopes for the INTERIM BELT or Max Holloway/Ilia Topuria at UFC 312

Alex Volkanovski talks to media as UFC 312 in Sydney is announced for Feb 9th and confirms he wants either an interim belt against Diego Lopes or the winner of Max/Ilia next!

I thought this was a parody at first and the podium scene was CGI. Lol

One thing I really respect about Volk and he has seemed to have come to terms with this; is the pressure from the fans about his personality a couple of years ago. I remember a few years ago he was getting very emotional about the fans attacking his percieved lack of charisma or him being 'boring'. He just seems to have shrugged it off finally and is comfortable in his skin. This has led him to gain even more respect from the fans. If anything, its taught me that modern MMA fans are truly toxic. What a shame.

For a second I thought Volk was declaring martial law in Australia.

Volkanovski vs Emmet would be a banger mirror matchup as well.
Emmett throws HEAT with wrestling background plus tons of heart and similar build to Volk.

[Laxusism]

Volk we would love to see you fight in Canada too! Let’s go champ

[chiefhardy]

Volkanovski vs Lopes is not an Interim Belt fight. That's a #1 contender matchup. If it hasn't been that long since a title fight, throwing an interim belt into the mix doesn't make sense. I love Volk though! Hope he gets the title back

[positivesounds]

Always rooting for volk standup guy 💪🏼

[xenxike]

Would love to see Volk take it home on this one, nicest guy around, , , ,

[jonahsoeanagsa]

Nah he should fight who ever win between max and ilia no other way and people saying he don’t derserve it he got knock out by ilia, did you forgot this man had 6 consecutive title defense during his reign u have to respect that and give it to him like what

[sharkymcsharkface]

Gotta get Bobby Knuckles on the Sydney card too. Hopefully for title against DDP

[dustinkilburn]

I'll vote for Volk. Is that what this is? Yes. Volk. For everything.

[LA_Native]

Interim belt?! wtf is this bloke talking about 😂

[jazziela]

Hell yeah. Def wanna see this fight. Maybe not for interim but contender to winner of max/topouria

[TanWam]

Good news, glad it will be a full year off since getting KO'd

[BrdOutaMyMnd]

What's this rich man's problem with taking care of his health. This has Tony Fergusons downfall written all over it. Slow down Volk. Health is wealth for goodness sake.

[diveanddine]

I wish one day you had a couple of feather weights have a cook off and have judges decide on the dish

[ahmedezzat]

Good guy Volk, superstar Volk. Love ya man do your thing.

[teepssenju]

Whats the point of this interim belt? Its not like topuria isnt active or disappearing. Unless they know something we dont

[erickmetalsand]

You don't have to go for an interim championship Volk, you need to go right away for the championship!, 😡😡😡, you deserve!! 🎉🎉🎉
