Weighing up a lightweight climb next, unbeaten star, Ilia Topuria has been issued a major warning by unbeaten Russian contender, Movsar Evloev — with the latter claiming he wants the champion’s “head” on a plate in the near future, vowing to fight him in the UFC soon.
Topuria, the current undisputed featherweight champion, headlined UFC 308 back in October, turning in a dominant third round knockout win over former titleholder and current symbolic BMF champion, Max Holloway — becoming the first to finish the Hawaiian with strikes during his gold-laden professional career.
As for Evloev, the American Top Team staple turned in his nineteenth straight professional win at UFC 310 last month, landing a hard-fought unanimous decision win over former undisputed bantamweight kingpin, Aljamain Sterling — to secure the number four rank at the featherweight limit.
