looks killer and has a special stand

TO With just over 24 hours left before the main event of UFC 298, Ilya Topuria (14-0-0) and Alexander Volkanovski (26-3-0) met at the official weigh-in at the Honda Center.. Accompanied by their inner circle, “The Great One” and “El Matador” said a few final words to each other before the fight, which will take place early in the morning from Saturday to Sunday. The excited crowd was eagerly awaiting a fight that could change the present (and future) of the featherweight division.

It was face to face

The atmosphere at the Honda Center in Anaheim was warm. With just over 1,000 fans present at the press conference, that number was exceeded. The stands applauded and booed before the parade of fighters who will meet tomorrow at the big night. Until Topuria and Volkanovski came out. Contender… and champion. The moment embraces.

“I respect you as a person, as a professional. I’m just fighting for my dream,” Ilya told “Wolf.” at a press conference the day before. He had previously warned him of his intention to send him to the ground in the first round and take away, this time for good, the division belt.

Ilya Topuria Volkanovski

“After this fight, everyone will be on my side,” Ilia had said a few hours earlier. The public is hostile to him, “The Great” is the favorite… but Topuria wants to change history. “You came dressed as an old man, you already know what’s going to happen, you’re preparing to retire,” said Ilya Volkanovski, who, however, is defending the belt… and has already done so (successfully) on six other occasions.
