“Of course, he’s going to be cocky,” Volkanovski told Fox Sports Australia of Topuria’s prediction. “He knocked me out. He thinks he’ll do it again, and he has every right to think that. But I’m going out there to change that, get that belt back. So while he has every right to think like that, he won’t know until I show him.”

A massive rematch for the UFC featherweight title may be in the works for the promotion’s rumored return to Miami, FL on April 12.

Aleksandre Topuria has a new opponent to prepare for, and one that could re-spark the rivalry between his brother Ilia and Alexander Volkanovski.

A surprising rumor may have just revealed when Ilia Topuria vs. Alexander Volkanovski 2 is expected to take place.

UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria sees two viable options for his next fight. Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) is coming off a stunning knockout of Max Holloway to retain his belt at UFC 308 in October.

Ilia Topuria confidently predicts he'll submit Alexander Volkanovski in their rematch, setting the stage for a high-stakes UFC showdown.

As great as it was to watch Ilia Topuria's rise to the featherweight championship, it was equally painful watching him put Alexander Volkanovski's lights out in the manner that he did.
