UFC featherweight champion, the undefeated 29-year-old Spanish-Georgian Ilia Topuria, has named the toughest opponent he has faced in MMA so far.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to Sportskeeda.
"It's Volkanovski. He is a very smart fighter and knows how to fight. Alex calculates everything," he noted.
The Spanish-Georgian athlete made his professional mixed martial arts debut in April 2015. He began competing in the North American Matador League in October 2020. Ilia has a record of 17 wins, only two of which were won by decision.
