Alexander Volkanovski is gearing up for a potential showdown with Arman Tsarukyan at 145 pounds, but it's not just about the fight itself. The lightweight champion is ready to take on the challenge, but there are several hurdles to overcome before we see these two in the octagon. First, Volkanovski must successfully defend his title against Diego Lopes at UFC 325 in Sydney. Second, Tsarukyan would have to make the cut to 145 pounds, a task that seems daunting. But here's where it gets controversial... Volkanovski is willing to face Tsarukyan, despite the fact that the latter hasn't competed at 145 pounds since 2017. This move could spark a debate among fans and fighters alike, as it challenges the traditional rankings and title opportunities. But is it fair for Tsarukyan to jump the queue? And what does this mean for the current 145-pound contender, Movsar Evloev, who was arguably overlooked for this fight? The UFC has a decision to make, and it could impact the future of these fighters. So, what do you think? Is Volkanovski right to take on Tsarukyan, or should the promotion stick to the rankings? Let's discuss in the comments!
