Undefeated UFC Featherweight Prospect Ilia Topuria commented on the victory over Josh Emmett, and also shared his thoughts on a potential fight with a champion in his weight Alexander Volkanovski.

Recall that Topuria defeated Emmett by unanimous decision in the main event of the UFC on ABC 5 show in Jacksonville, USA.

“I showed that no one can compare with me. I know that I can knock out anyone in this division. I beat Emmett quite easily, everything will be different with Volkanovski. I'm going to knock him out in the first or second round. If it doesn’t work out, then I will dominate him throughout the entire fight.

I'm next in line for the title fight, but I can wait. One of my best skills is patience. If the UFC asks me to fight Max Holloway in Spain, then let's do it. If not, I will wait for the fight with the champion, ”Topuria said at a press conference.
