Ilia Topuria has made a bold prediction that he is ready to shock the world by submitting Islam Makhachev if they ever fight. This represents an ambitious claim considering Makhachev's elite grappling credentials and undefeated status as lightweight champion. Topuria, the featherweight champion, would need to move up in weight to face Makhachev. The post includes a skeptical response questioning whether Topuria has been listening to fantastical music. No official announcement of this fight has been made, and Topuria is currently expected to defend his featherweight title. The comment appears to be part of Topuria's continued callouts of higher-weight champions.
