Rodriguez: “Topuria’s career will end after the fight with Volkanovski”

Former interim UFC featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez commented on regular arrogant statements from the contender for the full belt Ilia Topuria.

“Topuria talks about Canelo, talks about McGregor... Why do you think he does this? It's all marketing. He will never be able to face Canelo and Conor. Of course not. His career will end after the fight with Volkanovski. He said a lot of things, but people will laugh at him because of it.

I would like to bring him back to earth. Especially if the UFC wants to hold the tournament in Spain. I would love to fight with him in Spain. This is his home. I would love to beat him there,” Rodriguez was quoted as saying by MMA News.

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