Ilya Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) backed up all of his pre-fight talk by defeating Volkanovski and becoming the fifth undisputed featherweight champion in UFC history.
Topuria’s confidence was somewhat surprising, considering the bold claims he made before the fight against Volkanovski. His stunning knockout made him the 11th undefeated men’s champion in the company’s history.
This victory solidifies Topira’s status as a star in the MMA world. Whether he can maintain his success remains to be seen. The UFC’s interest in holding an event in Spain indicates their recognition of Topuria’s potential.
With his outspoken personality, stylish flair, aggressive approach, and appeal to the Latino market, Topuria is an ideal champion for the UFC. The challenges ahead will be tough, but Topria has a promising future as a titleholder.
