Reigning UFC featherweight champion Aleksander Volkanovski revealed what punishment awaits his opponent Elijah Topuria after he successfully defends his title.
According to the Australian, he’s anticipating the moment when the Spanish-Georgian fighter will have to go on his social media accounts and change his profile record with a pre-recorded win, as well as remove the ‘reigning UFC champion’ title.
“He will have to go to his page after the fight and change 15-0 to 14-1 on his profile,” Wolkanowski said. “It’s going to be a big lesson in humility. And I want him to do it himself – not his manager or anybody else, but for him to personally go in and change the record and change the ‘champion’ to ‘challenger’.”
A day earlier, Elijah Topuria reported that Alex Volkanovski was unlikely to make it to the second round, promising to knock out the champion in the opening five minutes.
Recall that the featherweight title fight will be the main event of UFC 298, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim.
