Former undisputed featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski has once more offered to save a high-profile UFC card on just days’ notice later this month – claiming he would “100 per cent” feature at UFC 303 on short notice, amid continued speculation regarding Conor McGregor’s ability to face off with opponent, Michael Chandler.
Volkanovski, a former undisputed featherweight champion and pound-for-pound number one fighter under the banner of the organization, most recently headlined UFC 298 back in February, dropping a devastating second round knockout defeat against Ilia Topuria in the pair’s featherweight championship clash.

Yeah, I reckon – 100 per cent,” Alexander Volkanovski told Submission Radio about stepping in on short notice at UFC 303. “As long as it’s a big fight, I won’t just take any fight. That’s a big deal. Save the day as well, I don’t know, I feel like I just love saving the day. I’m just that good of a guy. If I have to save the day, I’ll save the day.”
“Obviously, get paid for it, but you never know,” Alexander Volkanovski explained. “I just was muckin’ around with that. I don’t know if – probably nothing even happened. It’s probably just a little hiccups and everyone’s blowing it out of proportion, but I’ll have fun and throw the name out there just for a bit of a laugh.”
