UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is going to defend his title against the number one contender Brian Ortega who just defeated The Korean Zombie in a spectacular manner.
It’s not like Alex is looking past Ortega but he plans to move up a weight class for some new and exciting challenge, he said
“I’ve got that welterweight, middleweight type of strength, you know what I mean? I’m just talking myself up here, but I mean, you get anyone that’s trained with me and you talk about for my size, the power I have, the strength I have.”
“So, I don’t I think that being overpowered and someone being able to throw me around in lightweight would happen. I’m not the cocky type, but I’m very confident in myself, and I know I’ve got the skills to really do well in the lightweight division. Even against the best. I’ve got some work to do, and I’ll do this that year. But, man, even later this year or early next year.”
Alexander asks fans to not get their hope up for Brian Ortega
Ortega looked unbeatable that night against The Korean Zombie but Alex believes that is fans have got their hope high for Ortega then they are going to be disappointed.
“If you’re expecting Ortega to look how he did against Zombie, you’re in for a rude shock. And again, anyone that knows the game will know that’s not how the fight’s gonna go,” Volkanovski told Submission Radio. “Doesn’t mean he’s not dangerous. No, it doesn’t. I just believe he’s going to be dangerous in other things, but he will not be able to just do what he wants in the Octagon with me, I can guarantee you that. I know he’s tough, he’s durable.”
“But man, I just think the nick I’m in right now, like, no one can keep up. I really do. So, I think I’m going to break him in the earlier rounds, and then I’ll be able to get that finish.”
