“I think this is a great fight and a lot of people will like it. I want to get new names and stay active. There was a time when I wanted to fight with the first numbers in the rating, but now I have cleared the division.
Everyone is delighted with Toupuria, but right now he has to worry about Rodriguez. I see a much greater threat in him than in Elijah. So I plan to take care of Rodriguez, but I want to stay active after that,” Volkanovski said in an interview with DC & RC.
Recall that the fight between Volkanovski and Rodriguez will take place on July 8 at the UFC 290 tournament in Las Vegas.
