Undefeated  Ilia Topuria entered the UFC 298 main event title bout against then-champion  Alexander Volkanovski extremely confident.  Volkanovski had dominated the featherweight division for five years but that all came to a sudden halt in the second round in Anaheim, Calif. in February.   Volkanovski was taking over the fight in the second round repeatedly landing his jab and moving away from Topuria’s power punches.
