Incoming featherweight championship challenger, Ilia Topuria has laid out plans for his immediate fighting future ahead of his title siege at UFC 298 next month – which includes a fight of some form against former two-weight gold holder, Conor McGregor.
Topuria, the current number fifth ranked featherweight contender, is slated to headline UFC 298 next month in Anaheim, California, competing for divisional spoils for the first time in his Octagon tenure – in the form of a showdown against champion, Alexander Volkanovski.
In the midst of an impressive six-fight undefeated run since landing in the Dana White-led organization back in 2020, Topuria, who most recently improved to 14-0 with a shutout decision win over recent big knockout win, Josh Emmett, has sights firmly planted on super fights from here on out.
