Alexander Volkanovski solidified his status as undisputed champion with a dominant win in the UFC 290 main event, and now many are left wondering which move he’ll make next. After Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) scored a third-round TKO of interim champion Yair Rodriguez this past Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White essentially put the future in the champ’s hands. White said he would take Volkanovski’s preference under significant advisement, and his two options seem clear: A title defense against unbeaten contender Ilia Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who has talked a whole lot of trash about the Aussie. Or, a rematch with lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC), who handed Volkanovski his only octagon loss at UFC 284 in February.
