Alexander Volkanovski’s featherweight title and Dan Hooker’s quest for lightweight gold

Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega’s thrilling showdown at UFC 266 has led many to believe the duo could meet in a rematch sooner rather than later. Apart from Ortega, several other top-tier featherweights have their sights set on Volkanovski’s title. This includes former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway.

Presently, it’s unclear as to which fighter will serve as Alexander Volkanovski’s next opponent. That said, many believe that the winner of the upcoming fight between Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez could be given the next shot at Volkanovski’s title. Their fight is expected to take place at UFC Fight Night 187 in November.

Meanwhile, Dan Hooker is currently ranked No. 8 in the UFC lightweight division. Following his impressive win over Haqparast at UFC 266, Hooker proceeded to call out Beneil Dariush. The belief is that a win over the No. 3-ranked Dariush would bring Hooker back into the title picture at lightweight.
