A UFC Hall of Famer has weighed in on who he thinks has a better shot of becoming the first three-division UFC champion among Ilia Topuria, Khamzat Chimaev, and Alex Pereira.
The most recently minted UFC two-division champion, Islam Makhachev, currently has no plans to move up or down, as he has a lot of work left in welterweight. Before Makhachev, Topuria attained the same feat when he knocked out Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 and captured the vacant 155-pound championship. Topuria plans on defending his lightweight belt once and then moving up to 170-pounds and challenging Makhachev for a third belt and also the latter’s P4P status.
