Joe Rogan has proposed a thrilling matchup involving UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and rising star Ilia Topuria. Rogan envisions Topuria moving up to lightweight to challenge current champion Islam Makhachev, believing this would create a highly anticipated super fight.
Joe Rogan has come up with a 'crazy' idea and it involves a UFC champion moving up in weight for a super-fight.Volkanovski hasn't fought since surrendering the UFC featherweight title to Topuria, who last fought when he stopped Max Holloway last October.A rematch has been mooted, but Rogan prefers the idea of Topuria campaigning at lightweight to challenge UFC king Islam Makhachev , who beat Renato Moicano last month.
"It’d be nice but also who cares? Let’s go. Let’s f**king go.”Rogan added: "If you want to make the big fight for July, is it the Volkanovski rematch? I don’t know. Volkanovski, people probably want to see him win one. "He gets beaten by Islam in the first fight, he gets KO’d by Islam in the second fight... and then he gets KO’d by Ilia. So two KO losses in a row, one decision, even though he’s a legend, you kind of want to see him beat a contender maybe.”"It’s one of those ones where I hope Alex is 100 percent and I want to see it but he shouldn’t have fought him that quickly after getting KO’d by Islam. Three months, four months later, he took a shot.
