Alex Volkanovski, the current UFC featherweight champion, urged not to be surprised if he easily beat Ilia Topuria.
“Considering how I lost my previous fight, I was considered weak. Now I have a chance to beat an undefeated prospect and prove that I am still the best. All I have to do is beat an experienced opponent by showing him who the daddy is.
If you think that a boxer could be a big threat to me, then I'm probably missing something. His punch is definitely a threat, but his punch still needs to be delivered. It's not that easy to hit me. Only Makhachev hit me cleanly in the last fight. I won’t be surprised, and you shouldn’t be surprised either, if I beat him easily,” the fighter said.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Volkanovski and Topuria will take place on February 17 and will headline UFC 298.
