Volkanovski: “Topuria will be given a good lesson”

Dominant UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski reacted to impudent statements from his closest rival Ilia Topuria.

Earlier, the Spanish Georgian said that the Australian was too old a fighter to hold the title in the 145-pound division.

“Topuria considers himself the main thing, believes that he is already the best in the division, although he has not even fought with anyone. If he's ever going to be a champion, a great champion, he's going to need what I do to him.

I'm going to make him more humble, maybe he can recover from this and learn a lesson, and we'll see. He will be given a good lesson,” ESPN quotes Volkanovski as saying.

Let us remind you that Volkanovski and Topuria will fight on February 17 at the UFC 298 tournament in Anaheim.
