""We've got Silva, obviously, just probably trying to get his name out there," Volkanovski said. "He's actually not a bad guy. We met in Miami, and we got along pretty good, for he is a pretty nice guy. But now he's saying a couple of things. I don't know if he is upset with the Ruffy thing... If the UFC will push that for me, everyone knows me, I'll fight anyone."
""But I don't think that's very likely to happen. I don't think he'd be in a position to fight for the title, especially when you've got Lerone Murphy and Movsar fighting very soon.""
Alexander Volkanovski defended his featherweight title against Diego Lopes at UFC 325 in Sydney, winning a one-sided unanimous decision. Jean Silva called for a title shot and said he would train with Ilia Topuria. Volkanovski said Silva is not currently positioned to challenge for the title and suggested Silva may be seeking attention. Volkanovski said they met in Miami and got along, and speculated Silva might be upset about Mauricio Ruffy training with him. Silva lost to Lopes last year but rebounded with a decision win over Arnold Allen; Lerone Murphy and Movsar Evloev are slated to headline UFC London.
