Quick read
Featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has stated he is ready to shock the world by submitting lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Topuria's bold claim suggests confidence in his grappling ability against one of the sport's most decorated grapplers. Makhachev is widely considered to have elite submission skills and grappling credentials. The post includes a rhetorical question referencing a Russian song, questioning the realism of Topuria's ambition. No official matchup between the two champions has been announced. This represents Topuria calling his shot against a fighter in a higher weight class.
