Topuria claims he's ready to shock world and submit Islam Makhachev

Ilia Topuria has stated that he is prepared to shock the world by submitting Islam Makhachev if they fight. Topuria's bold claim suggests he believes he can finish Makhachev via submission, which would be a historic upset given Makhachev's grappling credentials. The post questions whether Topuria has been listening to the song "Fantazer" (Dreamer), implying skepticism about his chances. Makhachev is widely regarded as one of the best grapplers in MMA and has never been submitted. Topuria currently holds the featherweight title and would need to move up in weight to face the lightweight champion. No official fight between the two has been announced.
