Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski said he is ready to replace Conor McGregor in a fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
In an interview with Submission Radio Volkanovski said:
Maybe it's come at a good time, you are hearing all these whispers about what is going on with all of this talk with Conor McGregor. Maybe they need a late-notice replacement again. I'm always keen to throw my hand up, so you heard it here first.
Volkanovski, 35, last fought in February 2024 at UFC 298, losing to Ilia Topuria by knockout in the second round. In October 2023 at UFC 294, Alexander lost to Islam Makhachev by first-round knockout. He has 26 wins and four losses on his record.
