UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria is confident that bantamweight division titleholder Merab Dvalishvili has the strength to defeat featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
“Merab is a phenomenon. I already told him that he should move up in weight. He's capable of winning a second belt. I know exactly how his fight with Volkanovski will look. And I know Merab will take the victory,” Topuria said at a press conference in Georgia.
Let us recall that on December 6, at the main event of UFC 323 in Las Vegas, USA, Dvalishvili will have a rematch with Petr Yan.
