In 2025, Alexander Volkanovski is eager to compete aggressively, including three fights with title contenders. He is set to fight Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title at UFC 314 on April 12. He expressed interest in fighting Patricio Freire and Movsar Evloev, reaffirming his commitment to be active and support the title aspirations of other contenders. Volkanovski believes that his returning to the championship would allow all contenders to receive title shots without unnecessary delays.
I want to be active... Yair is a tough matchup, [Pitbull] puts on a performance and the UFC want it, I want to be active. So whoever it was, Lopes, Movsar, then [Pitbull] straight away. I want to do all that in one year. So I'm happy to fight three times this year. I can keep them all busy and give them all what they want.
The beauty of having me as a champion again, they can all have their title fights the next one. No one has to wait around, no one has to have any other fights.
