Whittaker: Volkanovski is the best featherweight we've ever seen

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker shared his expectations from the upcoming fight of the title holder in the featherweight division Alexandra Volkanovski With Ilia Topuria.

“I think Volkanovski is the best featherweight we’ve ever seen. The fight with Topuria is a test that will truly prove how good he is. How will the fight end? It's hard to say.

If the real Alexander comes out to fight, it will be difficult to defeat him. I can’t imagine a fighter who can beat Volkanovski. He’s a beast in the featherweight division,” Whittaker said in an interview with MMA News.

The Volkanovski-Topuria fight will be the main event of the UFC 298 tournament, which will take place on the night of February 18 in Anaheim, USA. Whittaker will cross gloves with Paulo Costa as part of the same event.
