Ilia Topuria claims he would shock world by submitting Islam Makhachev

Ilia Topuria has stated he is prepared to shock the world by submitting Islam Makhachev if the two were to fight. The featherweight champion expressed confidence in his ability to finish the lightweight champion via submission, which would be a significant upset given Makhachev's elite grappling credentials. The post questioned the realism of Topuria's claim with a humorous reference. No official fight between the two champions has been announced, and they compete in different weight classes.
