UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski has expanded on why he'd like to face the challenge of Movsar Evloev next time out.

It hasn't taken long for talk to turn from his performance in Miami to his next opponent, and while some have pushed back on Evloev getting a shot due to his fight style, the champ wants to test himself against the undefeated Russian.

During an interview with Fox Sports upon touching down back in Australia, Volkanovski explained why he'd choose Evloev to be the first hurdle in his newly begun featherweight rule.

I did mention Movsar. He is undefeated. I like the fact that he's undefeated," Volkanovski said. "And still one of the younger generation. ... I think for the legacy, that would still mean so much.
