Alexander Volkanovski is set to be knocked out so badly at UFC 298 he may not even be able to walk from the cage, let alone demand a rematch of the UFC featherweight crown . This is the bold prediction from undefeated Spanish challenger Ilia Topuria , who has also promised Fox Sports Australia he will ice the Australian superstar within a round -- and get it done by targeting a potential KO ‘button’ on the champion’s temple.
Apart from being undefeated in all 14 fighters as a professional -- and on a tear of six straight inside the Octagon -- Topuria is doubling down on claims Volkanovski is now susceptible to being iced given the way he was brutally finished by an Islam Makhachev headkick four months ago. However, three of the UFC’s most beloved stars disagree – with Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje and Jim Miller all tipping ‘The Great’ to defend for a sixth time. Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sport
