Ilia Topuria is on perhaps the most impressive knockout streak in modern UFC history.
After making his mark in the featherweight division, earning back-to-back KOs against Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, ‘El Matador’ made the move up to lightweight at UFC 317, determined to conquer a whole new weight class.
Topuria did exactly that, landing a stunning first-round finish against ex-titleholder Charles Oliveira, capturing the 155-pound crown and etching his name in the history books.
With the win over ‘Do Bronx’ in Las Vegas, Topuria has established himself as one of the most feared fighters in all of mixed martial arts.
