Although the premieres are never simple in the largest mixed martial arts organization (MMA) worldwide, the UFC, Aleksandre Topuria debuted with a remarkable high. Perhaps a completion would have served to climb to the outstanding one, but that does not matter, it was to go out with his arm up after the first lawsuit in the elite of this discipline. The conqueror won a dominant victory against the Australian Colby Thicknesse, and left a lot of class flashes on the octagon, such as the demolition through the airs (Suplex), the Boxing elbows or the two hard right bumps that connected on his opponent.
The pressure, although Aleksandre, intelligent in his statements, would like to clear her, was there. And it didn’t weigh him. He came aware of the fight and focused on dominating the duel from beginning to end, without risking in excess, but with actions of great danger, which led him to be close to ending the Australian in the first assault. The conqueror added his sixth professional victory, the first at the UFC, and passed the drink of having to carry the surname Topuria behind him, something that has been excessively commented during the days before his premiere.
And in his corner, as expected, his brother, Ilia Topuria, the UFC weight weight champion. The matador will return (and return) that support he received throughout his career to the world title by the older brother. And he was visibly excited. And nervous, why not say it. «It was very emotional to see him make his debut. I am very proud of him. He did an incredible job … Being a coach is a strange sensation. When I am fighting I have control of what happens in the octagon. As a coach, he can’t do anything from the corner. I was very nervous, sincerely … Aleksandre is going to master the division”Ilia said after the fight.
While the Spanish-Georgian champion negotiates his next lawsuit with the UFC, which probably goes through the confrontation against Islam Makhachev through the light weight belt that the daguestaní holds, tries to enjoy the Fight Week in another way, without being the protagonist. After Aleksandre’s debut, they are expected to both try to intersperse their fighting to be able to be supported both in the training camp and in the corners. For now, everything indicates that Aleks will be a rest time and will focus on the preparation of Ilyia, because he could be participating on June 28 in the star fight of the International Fight Week. We will see the next steps, but the Topuria want to continue making history at the UFC.
