Alexander Volkanovski Makes Honest Admission Ahead of UFC 333

Already considered one of the best featherweights of all time, Volkanovski has the chance to put himself top of the tree if he manages to beat Evloev on Saturday night.

Winning against the unbeaten Russian will secure Volkanovski a record-breaking ninth win in UFC featherweight title fights, surpassing Brazilian legend Jose Aldo, whom people regard as the greatest featherweight of all time.

However, speaking ahead of the fight, Volkanovski refused to enter the chat about who is the greatest featherweight of all time.

As reported by BBC Sport, the Australian stated that he is not ‘fussed’ about titles, as he is purely driven by facing new challenges.

Volkanovski said: “I think a lot of fighters don't like answering these questions; I'll leave everyone else to make these decisions.

“I'm not fussed about belts, title defences, numbers and all that. When I say I don't care - it is cool, but that's not what drives me. I'm not driven by getting the most title wins. I get more drive for the challenges and getting through those challenges.”

He added: “The things I'm doing at this age and how I'm doing it, is the real depth.

“When people throw out 'he's old' - I'm loving that. I want people thinking I'm too old and declining because when I overcome and get through, it's like 'how's he still doing it?' I'll play into that 100%.”
