Renato Moicano likes the way Alexander Volkanovski has carried himself ahead of UFC 298. Featherweight champion Volkanovski (26-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) takes on Ilia Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in Saturday’s main event (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Despite Volkanovski being a five-time defending champion, he’s only a slight favorite against undefeated Topuria. Moicano thinks Volkanovski’s knockout loss to lightweight champion Makhachev at UFC 294 played a factor in those odds, but likes the champion’s headspace going into this fight. “Topuria’s good, great boxer, but Volkanovski is on another level,” Moicano said on his YouTube channel . “I do think Volkanovski is going to put on a masterclass against Topuria.
