UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria wants the biggest fights possible, even if that means fighting champions outside of his natural weight class.

Rising middleweight star Bo Nickal has claimed a rematch between Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkanovski is “official” for UFC 314 in April.

A massive rematch for the UFC featherweight title may be in the works for the promotion’s rumored return to Miami, FL on April 12.

Alexander Volkanovski wants nothing more than to run things back with Ilia Topuria. After five title defenses, Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) lost his featherweight title to Topuria by knockout at UFC 298 last February.

UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria sees two viable options for his next fight. Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) is coming off a stunning knockout of Max Holloway to retain his belt at UFC 308 in October.

Ilia Topuria confidently predicts he'll submit Alexander Volkanovski in their rematch, setting the stage for a high-stakes UFC showdown.
