Ilia Topuriad for radio El Partidazo de COPE
Maybe there’s a change coming. Yes, very likely [you saw my last fight at featherweight]. I’d like to move up to the next weight class, and since Islam [Makhachev] is the champion fighting in January, and he won’t be ready…

Topuria last entered the octagon in October 2024 during UFC 308, securing a knockout victory against Max Holloway in the third round. He boasts an i♏mpressive record of 16 wins and no losses.

Previously, Topuria had expressed interest in facing the lightweight champion, Russian fighter Islam M🌳akhachev.
