Dana White, on whether the enigmatic Topuria message has a signed fight behind: “Probably”

Every day that passes the return of Ilyia Topuria is closer to the most famous octagon in the world, that of the UFC. The Hispanic-Georgian fighter, who has recently left his UFC weight belt to climb from division to the light weight, recently revolutionized social networks with an enigmatic message: «When we announce it you will not believe it. Get ready ». A statement that, as sources of all solvency have transferred to ABC, would be supported by the signature of a contract for its next fight

Given this expectation situation, the departure of the CEO and president of the UFC, Dana White, to the press conference after the UFC 313 event generated a lot of interest. And the American manager did not disappoint. He answered all the questions, in his own way, without finishing offering exact information, but showing certain advances. Thus, when he was asked about Topuria’s message and his possible relationship with the signing of his next fight, Dana White responded bluntly: “Probably”.

Thus, the mandamás of the UFC left the door open to the fact that the negotiations have already advanced so that Topuria makes their first combat in the light weight since making the decision to abandon its featherweight title to climb in a definitive category. On the horizon, the Division monarch appears, Islam Makhachev, who broke the record of defenses in light weight after his victory against Renato Moican at the beginning of the year.

According to the last words, the scenario has been placed so that one of the largest fights of the moment can be disputed: the Topuria vs Makhachev. What seems to happen in all likelihood is that The matador will fight at the International Fight Week in Las Vegas, on June 28. It is missing that the Russian monarch accepts the lawsuit and, otherwise, an interim title between two contestants such as Oliveira and Topuria could even be created, although the path desired by the UFC is that the fight between the Daguestaní and the Hispanic-Georgian is immediately given.
