UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping doesn’t want to see UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski move back up to lightweight just yet. Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) notched his fifth title defense when he stopped Yair Rodriguez by TKO in the third round in this past Saturday’s UFC 290 main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Volkanovski, who fell short against lightweight champ Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) this past February at UFC 284, is eager to run things back. However, with Ilia Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) emerging as a top contender following a five-round beatdown of Josh Emmett less than three weeks ago, Bisping wants to see Volkanovski stick to featherweight
