Ilia Topuria claims he will submit Islam Makhachev if they fight

Ilia Topuria stated that he is ready to shock the world by submitting Islam Makhachev in a potential matchup between the two champions. Topuria's bold claim suggests confidence in his grappling abilities against one of the sport's most dominant grapplers. Makhachev currently holds the UFC lightweight title, while Topuria reigns at featherweight. The post included a rhetorical question about whether Topuria had been listening to the song 'Fantazer' (Dreamer), implying skepticism about his chances. No official plans for the bout have been announced.
