Alex Volkanovski , UFC featherweight champion, gave a forecast for the upcoming fight with Ilia Topuria.
“I gave him the opportunity to jump over other contenders because he is undefeated, young, hungry, exuberant. I don’t even need to promote the fight, he does everything for me. I will continue to work hard and prove to the world that I am still the same, and he has a lot to go through before he gets to the top. My prediction for the fight is that I will teach him a good lesson. He will be uncomfortable, he will have to retract his words. I'll finish him in the second round. I’m not saying it will be easy with him, but he won’t be able to justify his pre-fight confidence in the fight. In training I give my all, I don’t think he works the same way. I will finish him,” Volkanovski said.
Let us remind you that the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria will take place on February 17 and will headline UFC 298.
