Former undisputed featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria has stunningly revealed today that a super fight with former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor was tabled by the UFC — ultimately to no end. However, he is not giving up hope on the pairing.
Topuria, who officially vacated the undisputed featherweight crown last weekend, saw prior foe, Alexander Volkanovski, scoop the championship in a unanimous decision win over Brazilian contender, Diego Lopes.
And yet to book his own return to action, the Spaniard has been gunning for a lightweight debut fight with incumbent division champion, Islam Makhachev — once more to no avail.
