Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has commented on Alexander Volkanovski`s victory over Diego Lopez.
In the UFC 314 main event in Miami, USA, Volkanovski, representing Australia, secured a unanimous decision against the Brazilian Lopez to claim the vacant featherweight belt.
“Alexander Volkanovski is a phenomenal fighter,” Topuria stated in response to a question from Joe Rogan. “I was genuinely happy for him when he defeated Lopez, as he truly deserved to become champion.”
It`s worth noting that Topuria relinquished his featherweight title in February, announcing his intention to move up to the lightweight division.
