Ilia Topuria of Georgia is the new Featherweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) after he defeated Alexander Volkanovski (Australia) by a knockout (KO) in the second round of the main event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
With this victory, Topuria stays undefeated in the UFC with all his seven fights ending in a win.
In his post-fight interview, Topuria called out former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight champion Conor McGregor (Ireland). “Conor McGregor, If you still have some balls, I will be waiting for you in Spain,” he said.
Responding to Topuria’s call out, McGregor said on Instagram, “I have huge balls, I’ve four kids.” The Irishman last fought in 2021. McGregor claimed that he would fight Michael Chandler (United States) in June but UFC President Dana White said that this is not happening.
