Alexander Volkanovski wants to beat Ilia Topuria

Table of Contents

“The Great” vs. “El Matador” will be headlining UFC 298 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Ilia Topuria, who has remained unbeaten so far in his professional career, is confident that he will dethrone the featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298. The Australian MMA fighter has vowed to humble the rising star at UFC 298. Volkanovski is going to defend his title for the sixth time in the UFC, and he has vowed to finish Ilia Topuria via knockout.

“He probably hasn’t proved himself against the top guys … but that doesn’t mean he’s not as good as he says he is we get to find that out. Everyone has a puncher’s chance and to be honest I think that’s all he has got. Given how experienced I am, how calculated I am and my fight IQ, I get it done. He’s young, dangerous, has a lot of hype around him … but that all ends in a couple of weeks.”
