Volkanovski wants immediate rematch with Topuria

“I’m counting on an immediate rematch, but I don’t want to rush. I plan to rest, recover, and return to the Octagon no earlier than the end of this year. If Ilya wants to be active and defend his title before I get back, so be it. I will not mind. I know for sure that when we meet again, it will be a completely different fight. Mark my words - I will take back that championship belt! This time I won’t do it for my family, team or fans—I’ll do it for myself!”
