Bragging rights: Volkanovski vs Topuria - Who wins and how?

[Rapa]

You all didnt believe me when i said topuria was really that good

 

[Natural Order]

Topuria sparks him. Volk has fallen in love with his hands and got flatlined by a Dagestani. He'll probably show a quick decline and retire after 1 or 2 more.

I'd say either Volka by decision OR Topuria by TKO.

Cannot really see anyone subbing the other guy.
Volk isn't really a KO merchant.

So....Volkanovski by decision 48-47
or
Topuria gets a dramatic TKO/KO in 1st 2 or 3 rounds.

well.... not bad I suppose! One of my 2 options was Topuria gets a dramatic TKO/KO in the first 2 or 3 rounds........and that's exactly what he did.

I'm sure UFC *will* go to Spain this year and have a PPV event in Madrid. Topuria vs Max OR (maybe) a Volka rematch.
My pick is Topuria vs Max. Max has always been a massive favorite of the UFC (witness the THREE fights that they got Volka to fight Max...) and I'd say that is really very likely. OR someone like Ortega fighting Topuria due to Brian's hispanic heritage, in Spain, that'd be huge.

UFC love it when they have a breakout star of a European nation, it's just gold to them (literally) and they'll maximize the hype now behind Topuria for sure and put on a major show in Madrid or Barcelone probably Sept/Oct this year.
