Undefeated and king.
Ilia Topuria is the latest fighter to be crowned UFC champion. The new featherweight king is not only 15-0 but has not looked in danger in any of his Octagon appearances.
The 27-year-old made his UFC debut in 2020 and after winning six fights in a row was finally granted a title shot against one of the greatest to ever fight inside the Octagon – Alexander Volkanovski.
Volkanovski was not one of the UFC champions with the most title defenses at featherweight, having defended the belt five times. However, he was noted to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the roster and Ilia Topuria was able to finish him in the second round with a vicious knockout.
