Alexander Volkanovski is without an opponent for UFC 272 , but he’s comfortable with ruling out potential replacements. After Max Holloway’s injury forced him to pull out of the highly-anticipated trilogy title fight, there was no shortage of ranked featherweights raising their hand looking to fill in for a shot at Volkanovski’s throne. Josh Emmett , Henry Cejudo , Chan Sung Jung, Yair Rodriguez, and Giga Chikadze were all quick to make it known they wanted their chance. Volkanovski, however, is not on board with facing just anyone and has responded to Chikadze’s request to fill in after showing interest in facing “The Korean Zombie” earlier on Friday evening. Chikadze is set to face Calvin Kattar in the main event of the promotion’s first event of the year at UFC on ESPN 32 .
