UFC featherweight champion Australian Alexander Volkanovski announced that in his next fight he will meet with a Spaniard of Georgian origin Ilia Topuria.

“Most likely it will be Ilia Topuria. I want to stay active, I don’t want to sit and wait. Instead of standing around and waiting for a title shot in the lightweight division, I'd rather fight. I have full confidence that I will do my job in the battle with Elijah.

I'm really looking forward to it. This is an exciting fight. I think it will take place early next year,” MMA News quotes the Australian.
