Newly crowned UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria made it clear that he is eager to re-fight with the former belt holder Alexander Volkanovski.

Today, February 18, Topuria knocked out Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 298 in Anaheim, USA.

“Alex is a very good person. Honestly, now I’m thinking: “Okay, I’ll give him a rematch because he’s a very good guy.” But at the same time, it’s time to move on, it’s time to clean up this division a little.

The time has come for a new generation, new challenges, new names. I'm more focused on this. But honestly, my job is to go out and fight. It’s not so important who they give me for the next fight. I will come out and fight,” Topuria said at a press conference.
