Former UFC fighter Jeremy Kennedy of Canada commented on the current shape of Australian UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski.
Jeremy Kennedy, quoted by BJ Penn
It doesn’t seem like the UFC is too interested in Movsar [Evloev] going for it yet. So I’d imagine that’s probably the next one, especially with that big win for [Lerone] Murphy. But I still; I just don’t see anybody at ’45 right now, beating Volk skill for skill in a 5-round fight. Outside of his age, you know, unless overnight he ages like crazy, or he gets caught with something silly.
On August 17 at UFC 319 Lerone Murphy knocked out Aaron Pico in the first round. Murphy now has 17 wins, no losses, and one draw.
Volkanovski last fought Diego Lopes in April 2025 at UFC 314, winning by unanimous decision. His record stands at 27 wins and four losses.
