Arman Tsarukyan Says Ilia Topuria Is a “Much Harder” Fight for Islam Makhachev

“Ilia hits harder than Maddalena… Ilia dropped almost every opponent he fought,” Tsarukyan said, arguing the lightweight champ poses a tougher threat than JDM. Makhachev, now the welterweight champion, has hinted he won’t return to lightweight. Meanwhile, after UFC 322, Topuria blasted both, calling JDM “a disappointing champion” & branding Makhachev “the most boring,” vowing to put him to sleep.
