Adesanya gave a forecast for the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria

Israel Adesanya , former UFC middleweight champion, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between the organization's featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski and the applicant Ilia Topuria.

“I like Ilya’s boxing, he has several impressive victories by knockout, but he does it when he manages to push his opponent to the net. Alex will not back away towards the net. He moves well, controls his distance, and does not allow himself to be pressured. Ilia is a great fighter, but Alexander Volkanovski is great. I'm betting on Alex's early victory by knockout in the fourth round... Elijah's only chance is to catch Alex in the first or second round. After that, his chances of winning will rapidly decrease,” Izzy said.

Let us remind you that the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria will take place on February 17 and will headline UFC 298.
