Volkanovski is indeed pretty great UFC fighter and he has managed to keep several titles on his record, but he is fighter who can't do much when he meets Islam, I think Volkanovski has lost some of his performance as tough fighter.
He has suffered 3 defeats in the history of being UFC fighter and these defeats made Volkanovski fighter who is sometimes underestimated by many people, I really cannot forget how Volkanovski met Islam in two fights and all of them were defeats.
A knockout was the final result in the second fight at UFC 294 and it was humiliating defeat for Volkanovski, even the coach was not sure if Volkanovski would be able to beat Islam in that fight.
Next, Volkanovski will face Topuria, who is young fighter who is currently ranked 3rd in the UFC featherweight class and has never been defeated.
Volkanovski could lose to Topuria in the next meeting and I sure Topuria has prepared everything to face featherweight champion Volkanovski.
Topuria badly wants to fight the champion Alexander Volkanovski for sure and because of that I really think that Ilia Topuria is ready to fight anyone in my opinion and right now that Alexander Volkanovski has made a mistake I think Topuria will expose this side of Volkanovski, for sure this is going to be an interesting fight and because I think this is going to be an unpredictable fight it could go the other way as if Topuria could be the underdog this is a great chance if you want bet and ready to risk it on Topuria.
Wow. I even rubbed my eyes twice this morning when I saw Paulo Costa fighting. Amazing. Finally we gonna see him (and probably loosing by UD:D). Or Costa has more 7 days to withdraw or fail fight to happen, what he has done last 3 or 4 times. I would be watching and expecting more for his excuses, then expecting to watch main event 
Why Dvalishvili is fighting Cejudo, but Aljo (he refused because they are "friends") or Sandhagen for example? Why there is even all-of-a-sudden-returned Cejudo? And ranked so high after a lose and 3years pause.

UFC 298 is going to be an interesting event for sure I have looked at the fighters that will be fighting in that event and what do you know Paulo Costa will be fighting Robert Whittaker and for that particular fight I think Costa will need to use his all and learned the ground game as this is Whittaker's weakness, we will be having Geoff Neal VS Ian Machado Garry, Merab Dvalishvili VS Henry Cejudo, for me this are the fights that are promising and most fans are expecting to see and very anticipated in seeing for the next UFC event.
