UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has stated that former bantamweight titleholder Aljamain Sterling deserves the next title shot in his division, arguing that Sterling is in a great position ahead of a Brazilian knockout artist.
Volkanovski made the comments following his title defense against Movsar Evloev at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 24, 2026.
The Australian champion believes Sterling's recent performances warrant a championship opportunity over the unnamed Brazilian contender.
