Why Volkanovski Targets Gaethje Bout Now
The proposed superfight would pit two champions known for their fan-friendly styles against each other at 155 pounds. Volkanovski has flirted with lightweight moves before, while Gaethje's aggressive approach has made him one of the most-watched fighters on the roster.
Neither the UFC nor Gaethje's camp has publicly responded to the callout. Volkanovski's next featherweight title defense remains unscheduled.
