Top British UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy considers the division champion Australian Alexander Volkanovski to be a huge favorite in the upcoming rematch with Brazilian Diego Lopez.

“Diego is certainly a dangerous guy. He hits hard, so he has a puncher's chance. But if they fight 100 times, I think Volkanovski will win about 95 times. That's my opinion. Alex just needs to go into the fight with a cool head, and then the victory will be practically in his pocket,” the athlete said.

Let's recall that the Volkanovski - Lopez 2 fight will headline UFC 325, which will take place on February 1 in Sydney, Australia. In the first fight, which took place in April this year, the current title holder won by points.
