Dana White knew the air on Ilia Topuria who leaves his title
At the UFC Seattle Post-Fight Scrum, White also clarified that the decision of Ilia Topuria to leave its featherweight belt was made a choice by the hunter instead of UFC Brass. White announced Topuria that his featherweight title in an update illuminated earlier this month.
Now former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will fight against Diego Lopes for the empty title in the main event of UFC 314 in Miami, Florida, on 12 April.
Topuria has previously admitted that he does not want to reduce the weight and believes that he has achieved enough at featherweight to consider the move. 'El Matador' displayed Volkanovski and Max Holloway in back-to-back title performances to cement themselves as one of the best featherweight hunters in the history of UFC.
Topuria has some hope to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight belt, but the Makhachev team makes it difficult for 'El Matador' to sink his hooks in the fight.
