The sporting future of Ilia Topuria It is still a mystery. In principle, UFC 312 had to clear the uncertainty, since The featherweight champion was going to meet Volkanovaki. Both fighters were going to do coaches in Aleksandre and Thicknesse’s fight And the idea of a possible face to face had circulated once the same was finished. The idea was that they faced in April in UFC 314.
None of this occurred. Moreover, what happened is the opposite. Far from any rivalry, What was seen in the octagon was a companionship that extended to the rest areas of the stadium. And, after combat, Ilia and Volkanovaki met again in an environment marked by cordiality and hugs.
It is clear that it is not necessary for every fight to be preceded by bad voyage or an extreme rivalry. But of course The images seen do not seem to show us two people who are about to compete for a title. This, evidently, opens the doors of speculation again and that leads us, again, to the possible rise of Ilia Topuria to light weight.
The light weight
In this division the champion is Islam Makhachev And it is well known that this is the fight desired by the current featherweight champion. Daguestani has swept the division of 155 pounds And Ilyia could give him a more than interesting fight. Dana White already said that Tsarukyan I would have to wait to have a new opportunity for the title and, apart from it, there is no one who is in a position to claim much.
Another option within light weight could be Charles Oliveira But, at this time, it is not clear what could gain Topuria with this. And, on the other hand, we have Dustin Poiriera fighter with a lot of cache that has a last fight in UFC. This fight could serve Topuria to grow sports and media.
