Ilia Topuria Targets ‘Triple Crown’ Only to Chase Islam Makhachev

The lightweight champion said his push for triple champion status hinges on Makhachev. He called Islam the man who “dominated” 155-lb and said he wanted to face him after moving up, but the current welterweight champion “changed divisions.” Topuria added he’d chase the 170-lb belt only “for Islam,” insisting, “What Islam has, that is mine. I take everything from him.”
