With the prior knowledge of facing both, incoming UFC 315 headliner, Alexander Volkanovski has boldly claimed Ilia Topuria will end the lightweight run of past-foe, Islam Makhachev with a thunderous knockout if he can get his hands on him.
Volkanovski, who has been sidelined since back-to-back hellacious knockout losses to both Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria in the last year and a half, returns next month in the headliner of UFC 315.
And competing for the vacant featherweight championship, New South Wales favorite, Volkanovski is set to meet the surging Brazilian contender, Diego Lopes in a pairing in ‘The Sunshine State’.
