Ilia Topuria covers chest tattoo with Spartan warrior design

UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has significantly modified his chest tattoo by covering the previous design. The new artwork features a warrior wearing a Corinthian helmet, most likely representing a Spartan warrior, replacing the previous image of a tiger with a face inside it. The identity of the person depicted in the original tattoo remains unclear. Topuria chose classical Greek warrior imagery for the cover-up piece. The tattoo work represents a major change to one of his most visible pieces of body art.
