UFC Featherweight Title Contender Ilia Topuria expressed confidence that he is superior to the division champion Alexandra Volkanovski in wrestling and grappling.

“I'm back to my base - I do a lot of grappling, I wrestle a lot, because I really think that's an area where I have an advantage over Volkanovski.

Alex is a great striker, but he is not a natural fighter and is not very strong on the ground. This is where my advantage will be in the upcoming battle,” MMA News.
