Alex Volkanovski, Contemporary Off UFC 314 Win, Says 2nd Title Run Sweeter Than 1st

Alexander Volkanovski is again on prime … and the newly topped UFC featherweight champion says this title run is sweeter than the primary!

36-year-old Volk joined Babcock on the “TMZ Sports TV show” (airs weekdays on FS1) — lower than 48 hours after he regained the belt he beforehand held for over 4 years with a unanimous determination win over Diego Lopes. We requested the 145 lb. champ if it meant extra this time round.

“Yeah, it does. It does, for sure,” Alex mentioned with no hesitation, explaining his mindset throughout his preliminary run-up to the title … “While you’re going through the process, you’re just training and that’s all you know.”

However, after he misplaced to Ilia Topuria at UFC 298 in February 2024 … and as his thirty sixth birthday got here and went, followers started to query whether or not AV may regain his championship kind, and Volk thinks these queries have been honest.

In reality, Alex admits that he even wanted to show one thing to himself within the Octagon … which he did.

Now, he is champion as soon as once more … however he is not involved in sitting again and babysitting the belt.

Volkanovski needs to struggle … and he says he’ll return to the Octagon at the least as soon as, if not twice, in 2025.

As for who … we requested Volk that query, in addition to for an replace on his accidents, and far more.
