The champ is not too keen on giving Volkanovski an immediate rematch, but it’s a highly likely option as the UFC nowadays seem to have a policy to let dominant champs get an immediate rematch.

”It’s time for the new generation to have new challengers, new faces, and I think I will be looking for that,” Topuria said post-fight.
