"Excessive aggression led to defeat"

Volkanovski revealed the main mistake Topuria made in the first fight and gave his advice on how to act in a rematch:

"If Ilia avoids any haste in the upcoming rematch, works steadily at a distance that is more comfortable for him, and correctly sets his traditional tactical traps in the octagon, he will eventually find the decisive blow to defeat his opponent. In my opinion, excessive aggressiveness and giving in to emotions in the first bout against Justin Gaethje were the main reasons Topuria missed his chance," noted the Australian champion.

How did the sensational clash at the White House end?

It is worth recalling that the first intense fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje took place at the famous White House, a symbol of the USA. After the 4th round of a very uncompromising and grueling clash, the Spanish fighter announced that he could not continue the bout due to his health or physical condition. As a result, the victory was decided in favor of the host representative, the dangerous American fighter Justin Gaethje.
