Quick read
Despite earning the undisputed No. 1 contender spot at UFC 321, Alexander Volkov has seen his title shot complicated by a series of circumstances, including Tom Aspinall's timeline, Alex Pereira's move to heavyweight, and the emergence of Sergei Pavlovich and others. If Aspinall is ready to fight this year, a unification bout would likely not happen until November or December, pushing a potential Volkov title fight to spring at the earliest. Volkov defeated Rodrigo Nacimento Acosta in his most recent outing but remains stuck in a crowded queue with no clear path to an imminent championship opportunity.
