Volkanovski Floats Topuria Rematch

Alexander Volkanovski wants one more fight before retiring, as he has a rematch with Ilia Topuria in mind.

Volkanovski stopped Movsar Evloev in round two at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi last Saturday, handing Evloev the first loss of his career. With Justin Gaethje unsure whether he will fight again, Topuria is the alternative.

“Lightweight title? That would be great to get that win back as well. Gaethje took that 0, so I can’t say I can take that. Nothing against him. He’s a great fighter, great dude, and we get along. But at the same time, I’m a competitor, and I’d love to test myself against him. That would be great – but I think, just how would that work? It probably doesn’t make sense. Gaethje or, if he retires, maybe I could fight [Topuria] and win, lose, or draw; I’d retire so I wouldn’t hold the division up,” Volkanovski
