And he is chomping at the bit to face Islam Makhachev.<\/p>\n<p>Volkanovski is expected to challenge Makhachev for the title in early 2023 when the UFC visits Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the reigning UFC featherweight champion appeared on Submission Radio to discuss the bout. The two will meet at UFC 284.<\/p>\n<p>They squared off with one another after UFC 280 when Makhachev topped Charles Oliveira for the vacant title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore they fought I was literally going for whoever I thought would fight me early next year, honestly,\u201d Volkanovski said. \u201cSo, I was thinking Charles would want to be a little more active, so I\u2019m thinking, I think I\u2019m want Charles to win because I know he will fight me next year. Even though it might be in Rio, at least I know I\u2019m fighting next year. And with Islam I wasn\u2019t sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike, even though he did mention about Australia, I didn\u2019t think it was gonna be serious. So, I didn\u2019t know how to feel about that whole situation. But that\u2019s why I went there, that\u2019s why I did all that. Like I said, in a perfect world, the ideal situation was me going there, me solidifying myself as the next guy to fight for that title, and then hopefully fighting them in Australia. And that\u2019s exactly what we got.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even better, we had Khabib call me out. We went inside the octagon and done the face off, which was not planned. So, it was just incredible. What a way to set up a massive super fight in Australia, giving the Aussie fans exactly what they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"email-signup inarticle\">\n<h4>Subscribe and get our daily emails and follow us on social media.<\/h4>\n<div class=\"terms-privacy\">\n<p>By opting in, you agree to receive emails with the latest MMA News &#038; Analysis from MMA Frenzy.
