Less than 50 days removed from his first featherweight title defense, Ilia Topuria is ready to move on.
In October, ‘El Matador’ viciously KO’d the UFC’s baddest motherf*cker Max Holloway in Abu Dhabi and appeared to be on track for a rematch with Alexander Volkanovski in 2025. However, that may no longer be the case after Topuria said in no uncertain terms that he’s officially done competing in the weight class.
“Yes, for sure. Definitely yes,” Topuria told the El Partidazo de Cadena Cope podcast when asked if the Holloway fight was his last time competing at 145.
