In Irvine, California, Ilia Topuria has big dreams. The undefeated UFC featherweight contender not only plans to dethrone champion Alexander Volkanovski but also aims to knock him out in the opening round of their main event bout at UFC 298 in Anaheim. However, Topuria’s aspirations don’t end there. The Georgian-Spanish fighter envisions a future fight at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu stadium, which can accommodate 85,000 spectators. When asked about his desired opponent at the Bernabeu, Topuria stated that he would choose Conor McGregor. Before facing McGregor, Topuria must first overcome the challenge of Volkanovski, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest featherweights in UFC history. Despite the respect he has for his opponent, Topuria confidently predicts a first-round knockout.
