Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski recently had some fun at UFC 319 by pranking a superfan. During a meet-and-greet arranged by The Unscripted Show, Volkanovski playfully grappled with the fan, faking a neck injury to create a brief panic before revealing it was all a joke. The fan’s priceless reaction quickly went viral.
Meanwhile, Volkanovski confirmed that Lerone Murphy is now his next title challenger following Murphy’s knockout win over Aaron Pico, though he had initially hoped to face Movsar Evloev. Volkanovski admitted Murphy has now earned the shot, leaving Evloev waiting for another opportunity.
