UFC star Ilia Topuria has claimed that he could move to welterweight in order to hunt down a fight with Islam Makhachev.
As we know, Ilia Topuria is an absolute superstar in the world of mixed martial arts. As he prepares to shift his focus to the lightweight division, many are disappointed that he won’t be fighting Islam Makhachev for the belt. Islam has decided to make the shift up to welterweight and chase a second belt of his own, whereas Ilia will focus on trying to defeat Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 317 next week.
