The featherweight title is at stake as the reigning champ, Alex Volkanovski, clashes with Ilia Topuria at the upcoming UFC 298. This will be the headline of the whole night and an extremely interesting battle.
Volkanovski News
Alex the Great lost his last bout to Islam Makhachev via KO, but that’s not his true picture. He took the battle on short notice, had less than two weeks to prepare, and eventually lost. Those who want to see Volk’s power should look at his previous battles and the first meeting against Islam.
He now has 26 wins in his career and three losses, two coming to Makhachev. Both were for the UFC lightweight belt, which is a division up for Volkanovski. However, his speed, power, and brutal explosiveness are unmatched in the 145-pound category. Just look at his CV and all the wins – Holloway, Yair, Ortega, Aldo, and many more.
Topuria News
Topuria is steaming on confidence, with him having a 14-0 record in the UFC and coming into this one with several superb finishes. He only has 27 years, meaning that the future is ahead of this guy, but the UFC decided to throw him into fire right away.
Prior to this event, we’ve seen him beat Josh Emmett via unanimous decision, and previously, he had wins over Bryce Mitchel, Jai Herbert, and Ryan Hall. They are not the finest talents in the division, but they are respectable, more or less. Topuria’s cardio is impressive, as well as his jiu-jitsu, but he doesn’t have the experience.

Unlike his rival, Volk has been in these situations too many times. Topuria’s confidence is high, but knowing the champ, he will quickly kill that upon entering the ring, especially because he wants to erase the loss to Islam. We have to understand that Topuria never faced a guy like this one. So, Volk winning is our pick.
