Ilia Topuria Shrugs Off Islam Makhachev’s Submission Threat

Topuria scoffed at a fan claiming Makhachev would submit him: “Not even in his dreams. He’s bad even at dreaming.” The unbeaten lightweight champ has repeatedly vowed he’d KO Islam in a superfight. Meanwhile, Makhachev called for a welterweight defense vs ex-champ Kamaru Usman later this year. Topuria wants Gaethje–Pimblett’s UFC 324 winner next for his first defense at 155.
