Quick read
Ilia Topuria has stated that he is ready to shock the world and submit Islam Makhachev. The featherweight champion's bold claim represents a significant callout of the lightweight champion. Topuria's confidence in finishing Makhachev by submission is notable given Makhachev's elite grappling credentials and Dagestani wrestling background. The post questioned whether Topuria was being realistic with such a claim. No official announcement of a fight between the two champions has been made.
