Surging featherweight star, Ilia Topuria has admitted he is only interested in either a fight with champion, Islam Makhachev or former titleholder, Charles Oliveira in his anticipated lightweight bow — however, insists the Brazilian is “scared” to share the Octagon with him.
Topuria, the current featherweight champion, is set to relinquish his belt as soon as the UFC 314 headliner begins next month in Miami. And seeing former foe, Alexander Volkanovski take on the surging fan-favorite, Diego Lopes for the vacant crown in ‘The Sunshine State’, Topuria has sights fixed on a lightweight leap.
