The undefeated Ilia Topuria can't wait to step into the octagon again. The featherweight champion (up to 65,7kg) made an inviting post on Sunday afternoon (24) on his 'X' profile. Just two words that say a lot: 'Topuria vs?', wrote the Spaniard. El Matador's last fight was about a month ago.
The owner of the belt in the category was barbaric Max Holloway No. UFC 308. He won by knockout in the third round. The American had never been knocked out before. The performance earned Topuria the 'Performance of the Night' bonus.

In an interview after the victory, Ilia Topuria was asked who would be a sensible opponent for a future fight. The belt holder immediately responded that no one deserves the fight more than Alexander Volkanovsky, number one in the linear ranking. The next time he is in the cage, Topuria will be fighting in his 17th career without losing.
