Alex Volkanovski, UFC featherweight champion, said that he will not take a break from his career after an early defeat from Islam Makhachev and will fight with Ilia Topuria, a contender for his championship belt.
“I talked to the UFC and I said that I need to be active, and I’m saying that because, again, I’m in my prime, I need to fight. A lot of people say, “He needs a break and all that.” I don't need a break. I want to get back to camp... I think January is still looking great for me. The fight with Ilia Topuria is certainly a very interesting fight, and I can turn all my attention to him. In January you will see the best version of me, I promise you that...” said the fighter.
