Former undisputed featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski has claimed Ilia Topuria could land a shocking win over current lightweight titleholder, Islam Makhachev in the future — with the Georgian-Spaniard welcoming the chance to compete for a second Octagon crown after his stunning UFC 308 victory.
Topuria, the current undisputed featherweight champion, returned to action over the course of last weekend in Abu Dhabi, UAE — becoming the first fighter to both knockdown and then knock out former featherweight champion and current symbolic BMF titleholder, Max Holloway with a brutal third round win.
And while immediately met with the above-mentioned Volkanovski in the Octagon following his win over common-foe, Holloway, Topuria agreed to fight the Australian in a title rematch next year.
