"The one thing that still pisses me off and I can't wait to prove it, is Volk doesn't mention my name ever, in any interviews, anything. He mentioned Aljamain plenty of times, so I'm excited to go for a statement and really show 'The Great' how great I am."
Youssef Zalal expresses frustration that UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has never mentioned his name in interviews, despite Volkanovski regularly calling out other contenders like Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy. Zalal notes that Volkanovski has mentioned his upcoming opponent Aljamain Sterling multiple times. Zalal is scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night 274 against Sterling on April 25 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The 29-year-old Zalal is on a five-fight winning streak with four finishes in his second UFC stint after being released in 2022. Zalal aims to defeat Sterling decisively to force Volkanovski to acknowledge him as a legitimate threat.
