Ilia Topuria has vacated the featherweight division and the title to move up to lightweight. He has an undefeated record so far and took down two of the greatest fighters (Holloway, Volk) in the sport currently. Now that he’s conquered the featherweight division, Topuria feels like he’s ready to get another title, in the lightweight division. <\/p>
Islam Makhachev is the current lightweight champion of the UFC <\/a>and so far nobody has had an answer for the Dagestani. He’s beaten many top ranked fighters in the lightweight division and did not have much problems in doing so. Makhachev has finished his opponents off via submission 13 times in his MMA career and has an overall record of 27-1-0. Now that he’s beaten pretty much everybody in his division, we believe that Makhachev should definitely fight Topuria since these two are the best amongst the best.<\/p> Even though most of the UFC <\/a>fans want Topuria vs Makhachev next, we may have to wait for a while before it happens. Previously, Dana White, told the reporters “there’s other possibilities,” meaning that Topuria may have to fight a contender in the lightweight division before White grants him his wishes to fight for the belt.<\/p> Also Read: Dana White Shares Massive News On The Future Of The UFC Heavyweight Division!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>
