Featherweight star Ilia Topuria has expressed his desire to square off against the former UFC Double Champion Conor McGregor. ‘Notorious’ remains to be one of the biggest fighters of all time but the the Georgian-Spain fighter has a bold prediction should they ever face off in the octagon.

Ahead of the biggest fight of his career, Topuria is grabbing the headlines with his remarks. He will be taking on Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight championship at UFC 298.

Meanwhile, McGregor has been on the shelf since 2021 after straight losses to former interim champion Dustin Poirier and sustained a horrific leg injury during the trilogy bout.

Topuria recently spoke about a potential showdown against Conor McGregor. During a recent interview, he went on to predict that he could knock out the Irishman in the first round itself.

During a recent interview with ‘KOlmenero‘, the featherweight title challenger mentioned that there is no doubt that Conor McGregor is a superstar. However, he has suffered some major losses in his last few fights, which has sunk his stock as a credible contender.

Ilia Topuria said: “Conor McGregor is a superstar, obviously. [But] now, it is clear that his numbers have also gone down due to his defeats.” (via Google Translate)

Ilia Topuria is confident to KO Conor McGregor in the first round

Ilia Topuria said that he is not certain whether Conor McGregor will ever get back inside the octagon but he still believes there is a chance for the Irishman to bounce back if he can win his comeback fight. “I don’t know if he will ever fight again in June or July. If he wins again, he could have some hype again,” ‘El Matador’ added.

Topuria went on to state that Mcgregor would have a tough time if they crossed paths. Topuria is confident that he will knock out Conor McGregor easily in the very first round of their fight.

“I wouldn’t care about the weight or whether he feels comfortable because I feel comfortable in whichever way I feel. And the prediction? Please, first round [knockout],” Topuria added.

Meanwhile, Michael Chandler has continued to send bold messages to Conor McGregor as the former wants the Irishman for a battle at the milestone UFC 300 event.
