Ilia Topuria feels divided on whether he should give Alexander Volkanovski a rematch

Ilia Topuria is now the champion and will now be thinking of who he should fight for his first title defense. The first name that pops to mind is Alexander Volkanovski, for an immediate rematch.

The Spaniard could look to solidify his legacy by giving ‘Volk‘ the rematch and beating him again. However, per MMA Junkie on X, the champ feels divided:

“I’m going to give him a rematch because he’s a good person, but at the same time, it’s time to move on. It’s time to clean up the division.”

Ilia Topuria has a big decision to make. However, one thing is for sure, no matter the opponent, he will make his first title defense in Spain, in front of his home crowd.

Following his victory against Alexander Volkanovski, he called out Conor McGregor in his octagon interview. The Spaniard wants to fight McGregor in the historic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
