Ilia Topuria chases Conor McGregor fight in UFC Spain showdown: ‘Tell your wife, Topuria kept us rich’

Incoming UFC 298 headliner, Ilia Topuria may be pre-occupied by a title siege against featherweight kingpin, Alexander Volkanovski, however, plans to evenutally lure former division champion, Conor McGregor to a future fight – atop a premiere card in Spain.

Topuria, the current number three ranked featherweight contender, is slated to headline UFC 298 later this month in Anaheim, making his pay-per-view headliner debut in a massive featherweight title charge against undisputed champion, Volkanovski.

And as for McGregor, the former two-division champion has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, suffering a fractured left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
