UFC Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski solidified his argument for being the best pound-for-pound mixed martial artist in the world. This victory served as a bounceback for Volkanovski after his second loss in his MMA career against UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makachev in February. In that fight, Volkanovski had aimed to become a two-division champion but fell short. With his latest win against Rodriguez, Volkanovski remains the king of the featherweight class. Although Ilia Topuria is a potential rising opponent for Volkanovski, the champion may face some challenges.
