"That's exactly what's happening. So I can wait or if I don't want to wait, I can do something else. Or just wait, and the UFC has made that clear. Obviously, that's probably what I'm going to do," Volkanovski recently told Sky Sports New Zealand.
"I could have maybe done a lightweight fight, I think there's a lot of exciting fights there, but the UFC aren't big fans of floating. Look, you want to go to lightweight, you're going to have to probably stay there, that's the only thing, and then I might lose that featherweight title shot. So I might just have to wait. It's only a couple of months, I'm sure I'll be fine."
"I told them I wanted a break, as I've been having, so I wanted to fight probably later in the year, and they said they might be doing that [Topuria vs. Holloway], and I thought it would have been a little bit earlier, but it ended up being a date where I was like, I could've maybe come back here," Volkanovski said.
"Everything is probably getting pushed back a couple of months further than I probably would've liked, but at the same time, I can't be active and just fight anybody, or I can wait for the title shot."
