Ilia Topuria has made a bold statement about a potential future matchup with Islam Makhachev, claiming he is ready to shock the world by submitting the lightweight champion. Topuria expressed confidence in his grappling abilities against one of the sport's best grapplers. The post humorously questioned whether Topuria had been listening to a song called "Fantazer" (Dreamer), suggesting skepticism about the featherweight champion's chances of submitting Makhachev. No official fight between the two has been announced, making this purely hypothetical discussion. Topuria's comments represent ambitious callout talk from the featherweight division.
