The story of Alexander Volkanovski has been studied in detail before, during, and after the two fights with Islam Makhachev, and there is no point in talking about him for a long time. He lost both fights to Makhachev, butꊫ this was still Islam's weight class, and the defeats did not play a role in Volkanovski's dominance in his division.
And in the featherweight division, he is excellent. All the guys who are ranked higher thađn Topuria (Max Holloway, Yair Rodriguez, Brian Ortega), Alex has already beaten (only he đ»did not fight with Allen, but he cannot get a title shot because he loses to Holloway).
Volkanovski has defended his featherweight title five times, and in his last defense, he finished Rodriguez in the tđhird round.
Ilia Topuria
Ilia Topuria is a Georgian phenomenon who lives, trains, and has had his first successes in Spain. He was inviteÜ«d to the UFC in 2020, had six fights here, aêŠnd won an early victory in each (except one).

Afteđr tê§his victory, the Georgian believed in himself even more, challenged the champion, and now had the opportunity to prove his words with deeds.
Expert Betting Tips
Not everyone sees Volkanovski as the favorite and pays tribute to the Georgian's skills. But they fail to consider that Topuria has never faced such opposition and does not know what to expect in the cage. Volkanovski is in perfect order eđverywhere - standing and in the referee's position; he hits hard, defends well, is patient and calm, has incredible reflexes, and has invaluable exđŠperience. It's a whole other level.
Alex had tough fighêŠŹts with very tough fighters, but he alê§ways found a solution. Topuria will work aggressively as the first number. Everything will be decided in the last rounds. It is Alex's territory. Here, the Georgian fighter will most likely have to survive.
