Ilia Topuria modifies chest tattoo, replaces face with Spartan warrior

Ilia Topuria has altered his prominent chest tattoo. The UFC featherweight champion previously had a tiger design with what appeared to be a face inside it, though the identity of the face was unclear. He has now covered that portion with the image of a warrior wearing a Corinthian helmet, most likely representing a Spartan soldier. The change represents a significant modification to one of his most visible tattoos. The post notes that no official explanation has been given about who the original face depicted.
