Alexander Volkanovski vs Ilia Topuria Round Betting Picks
Alexander Volkanovski comes into this fight as the -125 betting favorite with the best UFC betting sites. It is clear to see why this is the case, given the fact he is the reigning UFC champion at 145-pounds, as well as winning all six of his UFC Featherweight Title fights.
However, here at SportsLens we can see Ilia Topuria putting in an emphatic display by getting rid of the UFC featherweight king in Rounds 1-2 of the bout. Topuria has shown in his short yet successful UFC career that he is such a well rounded mixed martial artist.
He has it all. Alexander Volkanovski is of course a dominant champion at featherweight, but was brutally knockout out last time out up at 155-pounds by Islam Makhachev. We feel ‘The Great’ could be on a downward spiral now, and that ‘El Matador’ is getting the Aussie at the perfect time.
All three of Ilia Topuria’s knockouts in the UFC have come in Rounds 1-2. For this reason, here at SportsLens we can see this coming to fruition once again with four Round 1-2 knockouts in just seven UFC fights. This winning the UFC Featherweight Title in the process.
