UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski hopes his next title defense is at home. With Brian Ortega dominating Chan Sung Jung last weekend at UFC on ESPN+ 38, Volkanovski finally has the clear-cut contender he’s been looking for. Volkanovski (22-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) initially was targeting a December return but knows it’s highly unlikely that Ortega would turn around that quickly. Both men last competed in Abu Dhabi, and with the idea of a potential crowd almost coming to fruition for UFC 254 on Saturday, Volkanovski has an alternative option. He wants the UFC to return to Australia or New Zealand, where Rugby games have been holding full capacity crowds, with the COVID-19 pandemic largely under control in those countries
