Michael Bisping is pumped up for Ilia Topuria vs. Islam Makhachev.
Though no official announcements have been made, Topuria made waves on social media when he announced that his fight camp had officially begun for a rumored lightweight title clash at UFC 317 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas.
However, many are questioning exactly who Topuria will be facing. In all likelihood, he’ll challenge reigning 155-pound champion Islam Makhachiev, though there are rumbling that the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ could vacate his belt in pursuit of welterweight gold, similar to what Topuria did earlier this year with the featherweight crown.
