Sonnen gave a forecast for the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria

Chael Sonnen, a former UFC fighter and now a commentator and analyst, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between the organization's featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski and the applicant Ilia Topuria . Chael is confident that Alex will retain his championship belt.

“My official prediction: Volkanovski will remain champion. But I’m really looking forward to a “different” performance from Volkanovski. I don't think Alex will show his best fight. But there still remains a significant difference in skill between him and Topuria. So I’ll put my money on Volkanovski,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria will take place on the night of February 18 in Anaheim and will headline the 298th UFC tournament.
