UFC273 preview: Alexander Volkanovski defends featherweight belt vs. The Korean Zombie
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Alexander Volkanovski has quietly become one of the greatest featherweights in UFC history.
“It’s not really a new face, but a familiar face,” said Volkanovski, the minus-770 favorite according to FanDuel Sportsbook. “He’s been around forever. It’s a guy I’ve always wanted to fight, always thought I was going to fight. Zombie has been at the top of the game ever since this featherweight division has ever started.
Jung was out of the octagon for nearly four years after that loss, partly to heal and mostly to fulfill a military obligation back home. He has won four of six fights since returning to UFC in 2017. “I’m happy for him that he got a title shot,” Volkanovski said. “This is probably going to be his last title shot. I don’t want to say I’m looking past him like I’m cocky, but where I’m at right now, I can’t see myself being beaten.“We did him a solid by giving him this last shot, but that’s it. That’s as far as this favor goes because I’m going to take this away from him.”
