If Alexander Volkanovski can’t rematch Islam Makhachev at UFC 294, he’s willing to fight for the “BMF” belt in the meantime. Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC) took lightweight champion Makhachev to the brink when he challenged him at UFC 284, but he ultimately fell short . He will drop back down to featherweight for his next fight and attempt to unify his belt with interim champ Yair Rodriguez on July 8 at UFC 290
