Spanish fighter of Georgian origin Ilia Topuria He hasn’t yet won the UFC featherweight belt, but he’s already debating who he’s going to defend it against.

Let us remind you that on February 17, in the main event of the UFC 298 tournament in Anaheim, USA, Topuria will meet with the champion Alexander Volkanovski.

“How can a fight against Holloway be interesting to me?! I'm going to kick the ass of the guy who beat him three times. So it's pointless. Max, Yair Rodriguez, Brian Ortega, you can retire. I will never give you a chance to fight me for the title. Never!

I don’t know who my next opponent will be. The UFC management knows better than me. But I don’t think that they will offer me the names that I mentioned,” Topuria said on The MMA Hour show.
