Despite calling for a charge against unbeaten featherweight kingpin, Ilia Topuria after UFC 308, Conor McGregor has been warned by the gold holder’s head coach that a pairing with his student is likely a horrendous matchup for him.
Topuria, the current undisputed featherweight titleholder, returned to action over the course of the weekend in Abu Dhabi, UAE, taking home a blistering win over former featherweight champion and current symbolic BMF champion, Max Holloway.
Becoming the first person to both knockdown Holloway and eventually stop the Hawaiian with strikes courtesy of a brutal third round finish, Topuria was joined in the Octagon by former foe, Alexander Volkanovski immediately following UFC 308 — welcoming the chance to take him on a rematch next.
