Volkanovski Reflects on UFC 298 Loss, Eyes Rematch with Topuria in Spain

Alexander Volkanovski acknowledged the ups and downs in his MMA career after losing his featherweight title to Ilia Topuria at UFC 298. It marked Volkanovski’s second consecutive knockout loss with the previous one against Islam Makhachev.

Despite feeling positive during the fight, Topuria secured victory with a second round knockout. Volkanovski expressed his desire for a rematch and mentioned the possibility of it happening in Spain. He plans to take some time off before returning to the octagon.

Volkanovski had a successful title defense streak before his recent setbacks. The Australian won the featherweight title in 2019 and defended it five times before the loss to Topuria.
