Keeping an eye on the trajectory of Alexander Volkanovsky in MMA, Robert whittaker does not hesitate when pointing out his compatriot's chances of success in his Ultimate fights. Keeping an eye on the champion's preparation to face Ilia Topuria No. UFC 298, the fighter mitigates the challenger's chances of causing problems for his compatriot and guarantees that the featherweight king (up to 65,7kg) is 'different'.

“I think Volk is the best featherweight we’ve ever seen. I think he's the best to do that. I believe Topuria is good. I think this is the test that will really cement how good he is. What will happen? Very difficult to say. If we have Volk that we know, he's hard to beat. I can't imagine a fighter, I can't create a fighter in my head who would beat Volk. Volk in the featherweight division, he’s an animal,” said Whittaker in an interview with 'MMA News'.
