Quick read
Featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has boldly stated that he is prepared to shock the world by submitting lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. The callout represents Topuria's confidence in being able to defeat one of the sport's most dominant grapplers on the ground. Topuria's claim is particularly bold given Makhachev's elite grappling credentials and track record of submission victories. The post's author questioned whether Topuria has been listening to the song "Fantazer" ("Dreamer"), suggesting skepticism about the featherweight champion's chances of submitting the Dagestani grappling specialist. No official fight between the two champions has been announced.
