Quick read
Alexander Volkov secured the undisputed No. 1 contender position at UFC 321, but a series of circumstances have pushed a title shot further away. Tom Aspinall's injury, Alex Pereira's move to heavyweight, and the emergence of contenders such as Jailton Almeida and Sergei Pavlovich have all complicated Volkov's path. Even in an optimistic scenario, Volkov is unlikely to fight for the title before spring at the earliest, and only if no new challengers leapfrog him in the meantime.
