Alexander Volkanovski desires to see Arman Tsarukyan face someone aside from Ilia Topuria.
Dana White wasn’t too bothered by Tsarukyan’s RAF brawl that led some to query whether he’d hurt his possibilities of receiving one other UFC title shot.
His actions outside of the Octagon have halted the profession of the contender whom many imagine is at the least the second best lightweight within the division.
While Ilia Topuria thinks Tsarukyan is a straightforward fight for him, Volkanovski believes there’s one other name that should be in these conversations at 155 kilos.

Alexander Volkanovski thinks Max Holloway’s skillset makes him Arman Tsarukyan’s biggest challenge
Alexander Volkanovski thinks Max Holloway will stop Charles Oliveira in his BMF title defense that headlines UFC 326 this Saturday night.
Following his breakdown of the matchup, ‘The Great’ went on to discuss what could possibly be next for his former featherweight rival if he’s successful in Las Vegas.
Volkanovski went on to suggest Arman Tsarukyan as one option before going so far as to say that ‘Blessed’ is the most important threat to him at 155 kilos.
“I feel Max Holloway is Arman’s hardest challenge,” he said on his YouTube channel. “Max Holloway’s cardio, takedown defense is incredible, he’s at all times going to be scrambling to the highest. He’s going to make you’re employed there. Then, regardless that Arman’s very fit, now you’ve got a crazy puzzle in front of you on the feet when you may’t depend on your takedown.”
The featherweight champion specifically questioned whether Tsarukyan would give you the option to maintain up with Holloway’s pace even when he has success together with his grappling.
Ilia Topuria can have more dangerous one-shot power, but it surely’s hard for anyone to match the output of the present BMF titleholder, as his long list of UFC records shows.
“Remember I said that and remember I said that I feel Max can definitely win that fight,” Volkanovski added.
