Undefeated Ilia Topuria captured the featherweight title at UFC 298 in February by knocking out longtime titleholder Alexander Volkanovski . Who he’ll fight next and when remains up in the air. The biggest fight the promotion can put together for Topuria is either a rematch with Volkanovski or a match against former two-time titleholder Max Holloway. According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan , Topuria turned down a rematch with Volkanovski for UFC 305 in Perth, Australia. Topuria would like to set the terms for facing Holloway, but former two-division champion Daniel Cormier isn’t so sure that Topuria has much of a say.
