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.
