Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Alexander Volkanovski revealed exactly what it was he was saying to “Blessed” during the contest and why he said it.
“It was more for myself. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful to him. It was just letting him know — I was telling him, ‘Oh, I can see everything you’re throwing.’ I think I might have said, ‘You’re too slow.’ I didn’t want to be too offensive when I’m saying it, but just purely let him know, and let myself know, and stay on.”
With the win, Volkanovski secured his fourth-straight successful UFC featherweight title defense. Now, the Aussie has initiated chatter that he could jump up to 155 pounds and challenge for a second division title.
Of course, the 155-pound division is currently without an official champion, although Charles Oliveira is viewed as the uncrowned king of the division. A potential matchup between the pair would certainly be an interesting matchup.
As for Holloway, after now challenging for a third time unsuccessfully against Volkanovski, it remains to be seed what the future holds for “Blessed” at 145 pounds.
