Dana White Praises Alexander Volkanovski Before UFC 333

UFC president Dana White lauded featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski ahead of his title defense at UFC 333, calling him one of the sport’s all‑time greats and a major star for the organization. White highlighted Volkanovski’s résumé, including his recent recapture of the belt against Diego Lopes, memorable battles with Max Holloway and his dramatic escape from a choke against Brian Ortega, and noted his impact on both the promotion and Australian MMA.

Volkanovski will face unbeaten Russian contender Movsar Evloev in the main event, a challenger known for elite grappling that many peers avoid. The Australian fighter has repeatedly requested the matchup and sees it as a step toward a possible future superfight with lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, should he prevail.
