Alex Volkanovski, the current UFC featherweight champion, revealed what his next opponent needs to do Ilie Topuri to defeat him.

“He needs to do something before February to perform at an elite level. Because so far I haven’t seen this from him. That doesn't mean he's not an elite fighter. But it’s not enough to just be a good fighter. If he want to get over me, he needs to do a lot more than he did before. Especially in terms of submissions. So far I have not seen anything special from Topuria that distinguishes him from my previous opponents. He needs to come up with something different to win.”

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Volkanovski and Topuria will take place on February 17 and will headline UFC 298.
