Newly crowned two-time featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovksi has plenty of challengers in the 145-pound division and plans to potentially face two of them this year. “The great” defeated Diego Lopes in the UFC 314 main event to recapture the featherweight championship. It was his first fight in 14 months, but he doesn’t want to wait long to get back in there. “I guess fighting-wise, I obviously wanted to get back in there,” Volkanovski told TMZ Sports . “I mentioned about being very active, I still want to be active. Just got to get a few things looked at, obviously a few bumps and bruises, see how that goes, talk to the UFC, and we’ll make it happen. “I’m definitely fighting again this year, but the question is, am I doing two more?” Volkanovski doesn’t think there’s a clear top contender in the featherweight division, although there are a few contenders vying for a title fight
