Alexander Volkanovski, Ilia Topuria’s Next Best Fights After UFC 298 Results | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The UFC featherweight division has a new champion for the first time in over four years with Ilia Topuria defeating Alexander Volkanovski with a second-round knockout in the main event.

It’s a crowning achievement that caps off an incredible rise in the UFC for Topuria. The undefeated Spanish fighter wasn’t even on the UFC roster when Volkanovski became champion, now he’s completed a quick rise through the ranks to sit atop a tough division.

A lot is going to hinge on what Volkanovski wants to do in the post-UFC 298 landscape. A rematch will obviously be on the table, but Volkanovski is an aging champion with the selling power to seek out some big fights in the next division if he wants to.
