Should Ilia Topuria<\/a> win, he will definitely receive a career-high purse, given the fact he would then be the new UFC featherweight king. Similarly, if the champion Alexander Volkanovski<\/a>\u00a0gets his hand raised, he will likely receive an additional purse on top of his base salary and cut of the gate\/PPV sales.<\/p>\n

In Saturday\u2019s main event, ‘The Great’ is the -125 favorite to win the fight with the best offshore sportsbooks<\/a>. This come as no surprise given that he is arguably the greatest featherweight fighter of all time.<\/p>\n
