Who will Ilia Topuria fight first in the Lightweight division?

Post by Ja sa bong »

Ilia Topuria recently vacated his featherweight title and moved to the lightweight division. Before moving to Lightweight division, he always called out the current Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev saying that he will beat him.

Do you see Dana White throwing him into a title fight immediately against the number one pound for pound fighter in UFC Islam Makhachev now?

I would definitely love to see Dana White put Ilia Topuria in his first fight against Islam Makachev. This is because he already talked too much about being able to out punch, submit and beat Islam very well. I can't wait to see him humbled.
