In a surprising booking, Dana White has announced that the Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title in a rematch with his last opponent, Diego Lopes. This fight is scheduled for January 31st at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
This will be the first defence in Volkanovski's second title reign after he claimed the vacant belt against Lopes earlier this year. Lopes earns another shot at the title here after a spinning elbow knockout of Jean Silva at Noche UFC.
