Topuria’s big moment
It was already known that Ilia is a huge name in Spain. Alas, for anyone out there who had any doubts, this should serve as undeniable proof.
The 27-year-old looked sharp, confident and ready to take on the world. Of course, there’s a long road ahead as he attempts to cement his place at the top of the division, but there are so many reasons to be excited about his ascent to superstardom.
In terms of what’s next, there are plenty of options on the table. The UFC is reportedly considering an event in Spain later this year, and Topuria would be the obvious choice to headline that card. Who his challenger would be, though, remains to be seen.
