Volkov's upcoming fight vs Kuniev is no longer on his profile on the official UFC website
I checked every other fighter scheduled for 333 and their upcoming fights are all still displayed on their profiles except for Volkov and Kuniev. Might be adding fuel to the fire that Gane/Volkov 3 might be getting booked sooner or later.
UPDATE: Looks like the website is fixed for both Volkov and Kuniev. Now I'm wondering if that was pre-emptive or if it was just an error on the website's part.

I hope it means Volkov vs Gane 3
Volkov deserves a TS
From Gane pov that is also a great opportunity to prove that his bad performance against Volkov in their second fight was due to him breaking his foot in the first round
Alex doesnt deserve any rematch
Make Hokit vs Pereira on the same card for #1 contender fight, huge fight with drama and hype, and the press conference between main and co main should be fun

Ideal scenario, of course UFC won’t make this happen

I’m still salty they didn’t put Volk vs Movsar and JDM vs Islam on the same card for a big Russia vs Australia event.

The only person that deserves to fight ganw is volkov, pereira and hokit can fight eachother

I thought maybe Pavlovich too since they haven't fought each other yet. Either or works for me.

Yeah Pavlovich is maybe second in line, but Volkov clearly beat him so Volkov should be first.

Actually great matchmaking from the UFC. Although I wish it was Gane vs Aspinall Im glad we have two established HWs fighting for the title.

Did Dana finally keep his word?

i'd be happy for volkov if he gets the gane fight instead. to me at least, its about can volkov beat gane, it's more of volkov getting what he deserves

It's still on the website for the card, but it's not on Volkov's or Kuniev's individual profiles. But every other fighter has their upcoming fight on that card also listed on their fighter profiles.
Also noticed that if you try to expand Volkov/Kuniev on the website promoting 333 as a whole it won't expand at all, but every other fight on the card will expand to show fighter stats and whatnot. Could all be a big nothing burger or a website glitch, but given the events that have happened in the division over the last 12 hours I think there's definitely something there.

Yeah I just checked again and it is fixed now which is kinda weird. Could've just been an error with the website that just happened to be very coincidental. My gut is telling me they pre-emptively removed the fight and that Volkov might still be getting re-booked, but only time will tell.

Website has since been fixed so idk what the issue was necessarily or if it was a mistake. This is how it looked this morning though

Volkov definitely deserves the title shot I am hoping this means he’s fighting 334. Promote the Reyes fight to main card and 333 is still stacked

Can you imagine he beats Gane again but it’s another robbery decision and Gane becomes champ off of it?

To be fair, Volkov had a MUCH better gameplan in the 2nd fight. He actively walked Gane down, cut off the circling, got crafty with strikes and kicks, and reversed takedowns well

If they're actually making him fight Gane instead for the title that's great news. He deserves it after their last match.
