Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski believes he becomes the greatest 145lb fighter of all time by beating Max Holloway in a rematch. The 31-year-old Australian won the title by beating ‘Blessed’ over five rounds at UFC 245 late last year. Holloway had held the title since 2017, and many believe he deserves an immediate rematch.

The 31-year-old Australian won the title by beating ‘Blessed’ over five rounds at UFC 245 late last year. Holloway had held the title since 2017, and many believe he deserves an immediate rematch.
New champ Volkanovski is on board with the rematch idea and thinks beating the Hawaiian a second time makes him the greatest fighter ever at the weight class. Speaking to TMZ Sports about facing Holloway again, Volkanovski said.
“I think so. Obviously, it’s what UFC wants…And I think I want it. I want that fight because there is no clear number one contender, and he’s a great champion. For me, it’s the biggest fight in my career right now. To solidify myself as the greatest featherweight of all time and one of the greatest of all time. I go take out Max twice in his prime. People are going to give me the respect I deserve. And, again, I want to fight on home soil in Perth. “
The promotion is due to return to Perth, Australia, on June 6 for UFC 251. So far, no headline fight is set for the card with only Valentina Shevchenko vs. Joanne Calderwood, and Tia Tuivasa vs. Jarjis Danh set to take place in June. The main event slot at UFC 251 is something which definitely interests Volkanovski, but he insists negotiations are yet to begin.
“I reckon we’re going to make it happen,” he said. “But, nothings a done deal. We haven’t even had them talks. I’ve just got cleared (to fight). So, some people are going to say is it too early for me to get back in. I don’t want to sit on the sidelines too long, and I want to defend my belt in Australia. That Perth card, June 6 – we’re going to make it happen.”

A featherweight title rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway could be in store for the summer.
Volkanovski outpointed Holloway to become the new 145-pound king at UFC 245 back in December. Given the nature of the bout, some questioned whether Holloway should receive an immediate rematch.
However, with the Korean Zombie — who had a good claim for the next title shot — out for the next few months as he undergoes eye surgery, it seems to be the only fight to make. And according to The Daily Telegraph, the rematch is expected to headline UFC 251.
It was recently announced that UFC 251 would take place on June 7 in Perth, Australia, which means if confirmed, Volkanovski would get to defend his title for the first time on home soil.
Although nothing is official yet, given that UFC president Dana White has already spoken of wanting to book the rematch in Australia, it certainly seems likely.
Volkanovski is 8-0 in the UFC and hasn’t tasted defeat since his fourth professional fight back in 2013. Holloway, meanwhile, suffered his first loss at featherweight since 2013 following his defeat to Volkanovski.
A women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Joanne Calderwood has already been confirmed for the event.

With the NBA All-Star weekend getting rave reviews, former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway had his own idea — a UFC All-Star Weekend.
In addition to an All-Star game featuring the league’s best players, the NBA also has other events such as the dunk and three-point contest. It got Holloway thinking of what the UFC could do, particularly during International Fight Week in the summer:
“Watching NBA all-star weekend and it’s always so sick. Got me wondering tho what can we do to add to international fight week? What’s our versions of dunk contest and 3 point contest? What skills challenges can we do? What celeb games can we do? Celebrity BJJ matches?”
Fans responded to “Blessed” with various ideas such as such as a combine challenge, hardest punch, hardest kick and even a conditioning contest. When another fan asked what a conditioning contest would even entail, Holloway offered his own idea:
“Me Tony Colby on treadmills,” Holloway responded. “You don’t wanna see who pukes first? Lol.”
And of course, Tony Ferguson was down with that:

It’s certainly an interesting idea but one that remains unlikely regardless unless UFC president Dana White has other ideas.
What do you think of Holloway’s proposal?
