Volkanovski (26-3) has five successful title defences at featherweight while Topuria (14-0) is a 26-year-old Spain resident of Georgian descent and is 6-0 in the UFC with five finishes. Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski are throwing down again, probably sooner than most expected. F. But it would be Makhachev who put his own legacy in full motion by putting any thought that Volkanovski had his number to rest. Alexander Volkanovski has undergone surgery and is en route to recovery. It was to be a victory for ‘The Great’ by unanimous decision. Volkanovski’s win knocks off yet another contender at 145 pounds and the Australian continues to cement himself as one of the top champions across any weight class in the UFC. Volkanovski (26-3) has five successful title defences at featherweight while Topuria (14-0) is a 26-year-old Spain resident of Georgian descent and is 6-0 in the UFC with five finishes. The UFC featherweight champion had surgery on his left arm on Monday and will now have to go through six weeks of rehab before he can return to full contact training.
