Ilia Topuria vs Arman Tsarukyan is the UFC’s plan, says MMA analyst

MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has revealed that Ilia Topuria vs Arman Tsarukyan for the UFC lightweight championship is still the promotion’s plan at 155 pounds.

As we know, Ilia Topuria is an absolute monster – and one of the biggest stars in all of mixed martial arts. However, it’s unclear as to what his path is moving forward. He’s got plenty of potential contenders at lightweight and perhaps even at welterweight, but nobody knows for sure what the UFC will book.

If Chael Sonnen is to be believed, though, Ilia Topuria vs Arman Tsarukyan is the direction that they’re going to head in.
