UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski I was thinking about the upcoming fight with the undefeated challenger Ilia Topuria. Their meeting will be the main event of UFC 299, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim.
“There’s nothing wrong with being cocky. Everything is okay as long as you work hard enough. Maybe in the case of Topuria this is the case, we don’t know. Perhaps he is preparing for the worst. But if he's preparing to just go out and do what he always does and expect it to work with me, then he's wrong.
The fight will be a bad experience for him. However, if he says all this and is actually trying to get better because he knows he needs to be at a different level to compete with me, that’s a different story,” Volkanovski is quoted as saying by MMA Mania.
