Topuria's coach doesn't advise Volkanovski to demand an immediate rematch

"Volkanovski deserves a rematch as he has done a lot of things in MMA. However, if I had to be his coach or just a friend, I would tell him, 'Look, relax. Go get one more fight to get back on a winning streak, feel good, confident. Win, and then we'll go after Elijah." That would be the most sensible decision in this situation. Sure, Volkanovski deserves it, but I would consider it wrong. He's suffered two defeats, and I don't think he's recovered enough from them to immediately go for a rematch. So right now it's better for him to have a fight with another guy, beat him and gain confidence," BJ Penn quoted Clement as saying.
