Chael Sonnen thinks a superfight between Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria is not an “overly interesting” fight anymore. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Sonnen discussed that if the UFC has to make a superfight between Topuria and Makhachev, it should be a welterweight bout so that ‘El Matador’ has a chance to be the first three-division UFC champion.
However, the UFC Hall of Famer believes that after Makhachev became the welterweight champion, there have been discussions about him facing the legendary Kamaru Usman next. On the other hand, a fight between Topuria and the number one UFC lightweight contender, Arman Tsarukyan, seems more interesting at this point, after Tsarukyan beat Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar.
