Elijah Topuria has issued a response to Alex Wolkanowski

The number three ranked welterweight in the UFC, Elijah Topuria, responded to the statement of the current titleholder, Alexander Volkanovski, who said that after the fight the challenger will have to edit his profile on social networks, where he has already declared himself the new champion of the division and recorded his fifteenth victory.

“You can call it arrogance if you want – I call it faith,” the Spanish-Georgian fighter wrote on the social network. “I have shed every drop of sweat and every drop of blood for the glory of my destiny. On February 17, I will claim mine. #NewChampion #15victories.”

The Australian said in a recent interview that having to make changes to his profile would be the biggest punishment for his opponent, and at the same time, the biggest lesson in modesty.

Recall that the featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Elijah Topuria will be the main event of UFC 298, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim.
