Welcome to Midnight Mania!
UFC 298 can’t come soon enough, as the headliners of the event are extremely confident ahead of the title showdown. The second pay-per-view (PPV) of 2024 will take place on February 17, 2023 inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The main event will feature featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski facing Ilia Topuria, who has an unbeaten record of 14 wins and 0 losses.
Volkanovski, after his first-round knockout loss, expressed his motivation and confidence in facing Topuria, emphasizing that the outcome of his previous fight does not affect his current strength. On the other hand, Topuria has been diligently studying Volkanovski’s techniques and feels fully prepared to dethrone the champion.
Topuria shared, “I wake up every day and watch movies. Old training videos are also available. I watched everything, but I don’t know what other people saw. He has no chance, zero chance. I don’t see any holes, but I can see how he attacks. The only attack I’ve seen is him trying to kick my legs. That’s the only thing he can do.”
He further stated, “He has good cardio, but when he’s not under pressure Everyone has good cardio. If you walk forward, your aerobic exercise will be good. When you get into a corner, your aerobic exercise tends to disappear, but it happens. In front of him there are some people who will never turn back.”
Topuria, originally known for his grappling and submission abilities, has transformed into a knockout artist, delivering highlight-reel finishes in three of his six UFC appearances.
In his past two wins against Bryce Mitchell and Josh Emmett, Topuria displayed impressive dominance, solidifying his position as a formidable contender. He is confident that the impending matchup with Volkanovski will be a masterpiece and believes it will be one of the easiest matches of his career.
