The Topuria-Makhachev soap opera continues to monopolize the conversations of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Since the Hispanic-Georgian left his pen of the pen weight to climb to the light, everyone took the monarch of the category. However, from the beginning Makhachev was closed To such possibility, arguing that he had already defeated the 145 -pound champion (Volkanovski) in the past. He also asked Topuria to make a fight for the contender post.
Even with everything, the pressure of the UFC, the fans and the topuria itself made possible such a shock. And this lawsuit is something that Dana White’s company looks forward to, being the best duel that can be done today and one of the greatest in history. However, this time there is more than rumors. Everything seems to indicate that the Russian has directly rejected the fight with Ilia Topuria.
According to the Russian medium ‘Tass Sports’, Makhachev would have refused to take the fight. “Islam has not accepted this fight. He maintains the position that Topuria needs to gain an opportunity for the title, ”said Makhachev’s team. With this, the alternatives for the daguestaní close, while those of Topuria open. The logical opponent to face the champion would be Arman Tsarukyan, however, Dana White, the president of the UFC, said he should queue again. Therefore, among the options they would be Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethjewhich comes from Victoria and has the same manager as Islam Makhachev, Ali Abdelaziz.
In the case of Ilia Topuria, its rivals would be practically the same, as they are classified in the high positions of light weight. You also have to keep in mind that although the ex -champion of the weight weight has to make a contender fight, it can continue to be The next for Makhachev. This means that Topuria could fight in summer and face the Russian, which would be ‘frozen’, at the end of the year. Even so, the future remains uncertain while the UFC is silent about it, so you still have to wait A definitive answer.
