Alexander Volkanovski may have another superduel on the horizon, as after winning Movsar Evloev at UFC 333, weight champion to 66kg proposed a match with Justin Gaetje, UFC lightweight champion (up 70kg).
The 38-year-old Australian sees this as an opportunity for a special duel between two great sports names, which can also serve as the last career struggle for both. His idea is that confrontation does not include the title of light weight so that divisions do not remain pending.
I guess I don’t want to keep the divisions hostage. But I believe we can do this without preventing divisions from moving forward. If it were the last war for both of us and we were all in the game, it would be nice. A superduel between two 38-year-olds, who give everything and then leave the line to young people, Volkan said.
Dana White reacted positively to the Australian champion’s proposal, suggesting his achievements do UFC is willing to consider the request seriously.
When you’ve achieved what he has accomplished, there’s not much we’ll say no about, the head said. U n FC, Dana White, at the press conference after UFC 333 ends in Abu Dhabi.
However, such a confrontation has not yet been formalised. Its realisation will depend on decision UFC and Justin Gaetje’s willingness to engage in a duel that could mark the end of the two fighters’ career.
