Would the UFC give Topuria an immediate rematch? (seeing as how they're 1-1, Topuria just smoked Holloway, and is very marketable)

OR

would they give Volk Evloev or Lopes????
 
Hopefully he'd just retire off of a massive win and enjoy the rest of his life before his rugby and fighting careers catch up with him.
 
Could be a trilogy if Volk pulls it off but I could also see Topuria deciding just to move up to lightweight for good since he keeps talking about how hard it is for him to make featherweight.
 
Topuria only has one defence, if he loses at this point he'll probably need one impressive win against a contender to get a rematch.
 
Trilogy in Spain or we're forced to wait for a year and the 2026 Australian card.

It might also be a how competitive it is thing if volkov makes topuria look bad to a 50 or 49 win they probably make topuria earn it.

That said volk is on the Wong side of 36 now so him winning is almost impossible.
 
I'd give volk maybe 10% chance to win the rematch but if by some miracle it happens, then yes illa gets a rematch
 
volk has 0% chance of winning, this is the only ufc fight where I genuinely think 1 fighter can never win even if they fought 100 times. Ilia won't respect his power and will march across the octagon looking for the KO, volk won't get past the 2nd round, maybe not even the first
