Topuria: “I’ll make a punching bag out of Volkanovski”

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 8, 2024, 2 a.m.

Contender for the UFC featherweight belt Ilia Topuria gave another cheeky comment on the upcoming fight with the champion Alexander Volkanovski.

The meeting between the Georgian and the Australian will be the main event of the UFC 298 tournament, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim, USA.

“It will be a knockout in the first round. He says a lot of nonsense: “In MMA there are levels, I have this, I have that...”. He's right, there are levels. And I will show him the levels. I will dominate him in all areas. I'll make it look like a punching bag.

You are talking to the best fighter in the world. I am the best. And he is one of the best. He is one of the greatest fighters in the featherweight division and will be remembered as such, but I will be happy to be the one to give him the bad news on February 17th. He is old. It’s time to move on,” Topuria said on The MMA Hour show.
