Alexander Volkanovski has announced who he will face in his next title defence later this year. The Australian star was watching UFC 319, paying special attention to the co-main event featuring Lerone Murphy and Aaron Pico.

This was certainly the case after Lerone Murphy knocked Aaron Pico out cold in the first round with a devastating spinning elbow. Along with immediately receiving praise from Dana White, Murphy’s win also attracted the attention of Volkanovski, who appeared to zero in on the undefeated Brit as his next challenger.

UFC 319 is officially in the books, and while Khamzat Chimaev’s dominant win over Dricus Du Plessis stole headlines in the main event, it was Lerone Murphy who delivered one of the night’s most viral moments.

Alexander Volkanovski drops a subtle hint about who truly deserves the next UFC title shot, sparking debate and fan speculation online.
