UFC featherweight contender Ilia Topuria is talking a big game.
Over the weekend, Topuria faced off with Volkanovski near the cage after Volk’s dominant win against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290.

While talking to Andrew Capucetti of Inside Fighting, Topuria said he was not impressed with Volk’s performance and doesn’t believe the Australian is the best UFC featherweight of all time.
Topuria apparently considers himself the best featherweight of all-time and believes that he can easily knock out Volkanovski whenever they meet in the Octagon.
Volkanovski, on the other hand, believes a fight against Topuria is an easy fight for him.
