Alexander Volkanovski's remarks about his next fight have caught the attention of MMA fans worldwide. While many praised Volkanovski's eagerness to return this year, others offered suggestions regarding his next opponent.

Volkanovski became a two-time featherweight champion after delivering a strong performance against Diego Lopes at UFC 314, which saw him prevail via unanimous decision.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Volkanovski opened up about his future. The reigning champion voiced his desire to make his octagon return this year after recovering from the injuries suffered at UFC 314.

''Yeah, I guess here fighting wise, I obviously wanted to get back in there. I mentioned about being very active. I still want to be active. Just got to get a few things looked at, obviously a few bumps and bruises, see how that goes, talk to the UFC and we'll make it happen. But I definitely want to fight. I'm definitely fighting again this year. The question is, am I doing two more?''

''This is what we signed up for!''

Other fans wrote:

''This sort of activity all champs should be having''

''No short notice fights please''

''Beats Movsar easy, already beat Max 3x, Lopes, & Yair. Maybe Allen if he gets another win or fuck it give Silva a shot. He’s already probably the best 145lber outside of Volk, Ilia, & maybe Max. Plus Silva is a creative striker & gives Volk an interesting style to game plan for.''
