UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski commented on the announcement of the fight with Ilia Topuria, which is scheduled to take place on February 17 at the UFC 298 show. The location of the tournament has not yet been determined.
“He's a powerful guy. He's good at everything. It cannot be called one-sided. He's clearly very versatile. But I just believe that my skills and understanding will be too much of a task for him.
He is a young, hungry guy. He's undefeated and very, very confident, but I think we need to cool him down, so I'm glad to be the fighter who can do that,” the Australian told Fox Sports Australia.
Let us remind you that on October 21 at UFC 294, Volkanovski lost by knockout in the first round to lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
