As for the MMA scene, following two failed attempts at the lightweight title against reigning champion Islam Makhachev, Volkanovski returned at UFC 298 last year to defend his featherweight title against emerging contender Ilia Topuria, who came into the title fight full of confidence.

Topuria stunned everyone by knocking out Volkanovski in the second round to capture the 145-pound belt.

Volkanovski will now compete for the featherweight title vacated by Topuria, who intends to move up to pursue his dream of becoming a two-division champion. Volkanovski will face another top contender Diego Lopes in the main event of UFC 314 on April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

Alexander Volkanovski plans to make a strong comeback

Despite being one of the greatest featherweights to ever compete in the UFC, Alexander Volkanovski's recent cage appearances haven't gone as planned. He is 1-3 in his last four MMA appearances.

Volkanovski spoke to Brett Okamoto on ESPN MMA's YouTube channel ahead of his upcoming fight with Diego Lopes at UFC 314 next month, expressing confidence in his return.

''You are going to ask yourself like, ‘All right, this is unfamiliar territory, an unfamiliar feeling. Have you lost it? What’s going on? You must not want it anymore. I was like, ‘No, not really. I remember that I have accepted that I’m having the break, but have you accepted that you’re done? ‘No, I haven’t. I’ll be back. I’ll flip the switch, but will you flip the switch?’...I’m going to get the belt back, I’m going to defend, and that’s just going to add to my legacy and add to the story.'' [H/t: MMA Junkie]
