Ilia Topuria is still campaigning for a light weight.
Since he eliminated Max Holloway at the UFC 308, Topuria has always pleaded for a light title shot or, except that, a higher opponent different to 155 pounds. Considering that Topuria has only one defense of title to her name and there are a multitude of contenders awaiting their luck on the featherweight, it seems a little fast for “El Matador”, but that does not Certainly prevent it from trying to try.
“I really think I can beat the current champion, Islam,” said Topuria Full shipment podcast. “I really think. He’s a big champion. You cannot be a world champion by chance; You have to do things very well. But I like competition, and I don’t like to be a tyrant and fight with people I know 100% that I will cry ass. I like to fight with people that fans think it will be very competitive. This kind of waiting, I like to create. With Islam, I’m going to have that.
“Make the revenge match with people I have already fought, I don’t think I’m going to have the same kind of expectations of fans.”
Although nothing is official yet, rumors surrounded according to which a revenge match with former champion Alexander Volkanovski is what the UFC then wants for Topuria. And despite what he said, Topuria is also aware that he cannot underestimate Volkanovski despite his victory in the first fight, saying that he “cannot joke with this guy”. However, Topuria still cannot get rid of the light possibilities.
“There are so many exciting fights in the mild division for me,” said Topuria. “Arman (Tsarukyan) needs to build a little more, but at this stage, simply imagine a fight between me and – I like this dog, Dustin Poirier. He is an AF * Cking fighter. You know he is entering and fighting. Until he dies, you know you will have this guy in front of you fighting and trying to remove your head. It is a very exciting fight for me and I also think for fans. Islam is a big fight, Charles is a big fight, Justin Gaethje is a great fight. I can mention you so many big fights that I could have in the light division. »»
And, of course, the fight he wants most is a book book for book with Islam Makhachev.
“I have so many things against Islam that it will have trouble against me,” said Topuria. “He knows and we all know that the only thing I need is a punch. And you know with certainty that I will connect this punch because I do not throw my punches like crazy. I await my moment and I apply a lot of technique behind this punch. … We all know that at one point, I will connect this punch and everything will depend on what God will decide. If he wants to send Islam or not, who knows it?

Topuria rejecting Arman really gives the game. “Yes, I would like to fight the champion or one of these veterans who have exceeded their prime numbers and who have a big name. I don’t want to fight candidate No. 1 who is young and good. »»
Like, come on, guy! If each champion can simply say: “No, I don’t need to fight the deserving suitors because I know that I will win so it’s useless” when we do we do here?
This thing was terrible when Jon Jones did it to fight Stipe, but at least Jon has a good case to be the goat. Topuria has a defense title! Please have this madness stopped.
Oh, and good Valentine’s Day!
