Video: Is Ilia Topuria or an Islam Makhachev rematch the better fight for UFC champ Alexander Volkanovski?

"

Alexander Volkanovski solidified his status as undisputed champion with a dominant win in the UFC 290 main event, and now many are left wondering which move he’ll make next.

After Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) scored a third-round TKO of interim champion Yair Rodriguez this past Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White essentially put the future in the champ’s hands.

Or, a rematch with lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC), who handed Volkanovski his only octagon loss at UFC 284 in February.

It seems “The Great” is leaning toward wanting the rematch with Makhachev, but is that the wisest move for his career?
