A UFC Hall of Famer has shared his thoughts on whether lightweight champion Ilia Topuria should be stripped because of inactivity due to personal reasons.
Topuria has announced a hiatus from fighting and won’t return until the first quarter of 2026. In the meantime, Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett will contest for the interim lightweight championship at UFC 324, and the winner will fight ‘El Matador’ once he returns.
Earlier this week, Ilia Topuria posted another statement on social media, telling his followers that he has been accused of domestic abuse.
