Alexander Volkanovski explains why he would have wanted to fight Conor McGregor
Alexander Volkanovski has had quite a memorable featherweight title reign thus far. He would look to continue that when he returns to 145lbs to defend his title against interim champion Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.
During his recent appearance on The MMA Fan Podcast, Volkanovski mentioned that he would still love to fight Conor McGregor. He explained his reasons for why he would like to pursue that fight, but mentioned that money isn't necessarily the main reason, saying:
"Everyone's going to talk about the money, and that's why you only want that fight...Yeah, of course, there's money in it, the circus around it, the hype, all of that. But you talk about legacy, you know then I would have beaten every featherweight champion, and I plan on having the most defenses as well."
