“I’m in a situation where I can do a few things, and if this class doesn’t want to settle and everyone will always be stunned waiting for sh * t, that’s fine – I’ll go up and fight lightweight,” Volkanovski told reporters after beating Jung four rounds.

“I’m an easy-to-understand hero: Take that Number 1 spot, you get that shot. If not, let’s go upstairs. I think we are in a good position to climb, maybe see what happens in this lightweight title fight, and maybe climb. Because again, I show that I am ahead of the ranks in this (featherweight) category. Maybe we go upstairs. ”
