Ilia Topuria shares Alexander Volkanovski prediction following UFC Jacksonville

Ilia Topuria's dominance of Josh Emmett at UFC Jacksonville will likely place him in the top five of the featherweight division when the rankings are updated later this week.

More importantly, "El Matador" appears to be next in line to challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title. This depends, however, on "The Great" getting past Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.

Speaking to the media at his UFC Jacksonville post-fight press conference, Topuria stated:

"I showed it tonight that no one can match my level of skill inside the cage. I think everyone agrees with me. I know that I can finish anyone in this division. So, Josh was tough tonight, but I beat him pretty easy and it's not going to be different with Alex.

"The rest of this is going to be the same. I'm going to knock him out in the first round, second round. If not, I'm gonna dominate him for five rounds. No problem."

Check out Ilia Topuria's comments on Alexander Volkanovski below (starting at the 3:39 mark):

Topuria added that he will wait for a title opportunity unless he is offered a main event against Max Holloway in Spain. "Blessed" is currently set to face "The Korean Zombie" at UFC on ESPN 50 in Singapore later this summer.
