White named Topuria's weak point before the fight with Volkanovski

UFC CEO Dana White opined that a lack of big-fight experience could have a serious impact on performance Ilia Topuria in the upcoming confrontation against the promotion's featherweight champion Alexandra Volkanovski.

“When we talk about Topuria, we need to remember who he defeated, what was at stake and all that. Elijah has great stats, but he's missing one thing. Experience of big battles.

Volkanovski is his first big opponent and his first big fight. So no matter how much of a stallion Topuria is, he still has a lot to prove,” White said in an interview with Kevin Iola.
