Ilia Topuria modifies chest tattoo, replaces face with Spartan warrior

Ilia Topuria has made changes to his prominent chest tattoo. The updated design now features a warrior in a Corinthian helmet, likely representing a Spartan, inside the tiger image. Previously, the tattoo contained a face that resembled Topuria himself, though the exact identity was not publicly confirmed. The modification represents a shift in the symbolic meaning of the artwork. Topuria is known for his distinctive body art and personal branding. The change comes as he continues his reign as UFC featherweight champion.
