Alexander Volkanovski recently lost his featherweight title in a fight against Ilia Topuria in UFC 298 in February this year. The Georgian is one of the most extraordinary athletes in the UFC featherweight division since Topuria did not taste a single defeat in his professional fights. He has fought a total of 15 fights and never lost one. After all those achievements, he was given a title shot against the featherweight champion, Volkanovski. He reigned in the featherweight division for four years, but that was the fight he was dethroned. Like any other champion, Vokanovski will look forward to fighting again for the title and trying to reclaim his throne.
Challenger of Ilia Topuria
Max Holloway has challenged Topuria, and there is a high chance that the title changes shoulders in this fight because Holloway is performing quite impressive these days, which can be a problem for Topuria. Volkonovski will wait for the winner, but in the meantime, he can also fight in the lightweight division and earn his name there, which would be a bigger risk for him. If he went there, it would take time; if it took time, he might lose the title shot against the winner of UFC 308.
“I could have maybe done a lightweight fight, I think there’s a lot of exciting fights there, but the UFC aren’t big fans of floating. Look, you want to go to lightweight, you’re going to have to probably stay there, that’s the only thing, and then I might lose that featherweight title shot. So I might just have to wait. It’s only a couple of months, I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
Alexander Volkanovski Supports Holloway
Volkanovski thinks that Topuria couldn’t stand against Holloway because Holloway’s striking and grappling are perfect for taking down Topuria. But Topuria is also a tough guy, which makes this match unpredictable, and both will give each other a tough time. “Probably Max. But again, it’s a tough fight.
Ilia’s got some hands on him, he can not be easily shaken, he’s going to come forward, he’s going to be looking for the finish the whole way through that fight, but I think Max will just be a little bit too much for Ilia. But if Ilia walks through him, he’s proven himself, but then I’m just going to take it back off him anyway.”
Final Thoughts
Alexander Volkanovski believes he will take his title back, so either Holloway or Topuria will win. Volkanovski wants to reclaim his throne. He will be free all this time, which will allow him to study both opponents deeply. Plus, he can work on his weak points and train harder.
