As per the title of this episode, Ilia Topuria showed that his run to a championship fight was no fluke and he really was as well put-together as he looked, overcoming a typically tricky Alexander Volkanovski to smash him into oblivion in the second round. As the new champion will Topuria spark the interest of fans by taking on all-comers, or will he chase uninteresting 'super' fights against the likes of Conor McGregor? I look into the fight that everyone is talking about right now as well as what the future may hold for both Topuria and the now dethroned Volkanovski, and if you want to hear my thoughts about the rest of UFC 298 please head on over to the Combat Chronicles Patreon!
