A bigger challenge for Topuria awaits. Going from featherweight to 155 pounds sends Ilia to a new, previously unseen challenge. A potential clash with P4P number 1 Islam or, even…

Conor McGregor!

Lightweight gives Topuria more options to get richer. And get closer to being buried alive, as some might say. There is Islam, a legend in his own right, with his elite grappling and well rounded skills. He presents the toughest match-up to Topuria, but there is more to come.

Dustin Poirier, a warrior with the heart of a lion, who has been involved in some legendary UFC battles. And this hungry veteran always presents a tough opposition to any challenger, including Topuria.

And Conor is always Conor. A huge marketability to any possible opponent.

McGregor still has it all. He is the best fighter beore the fight. He has the most polarizing presence in the sport. He is unmatched in being a truly legendary superstar at any given level. Conor gives you a chance to wear Gucci for the rest of your life and Conor is still…a fighter?

Well, first of all: Conor never really liked Topuria, who pretends to be a modern day Conor of his own. McGregor always admires Ilia’s talent and skills, but he never liked him as well. Conor still has that ultimate charisma and he is a legend. Was.

It all depends on Conor and how much Dana White will get under his skin, but if there’s a real chance of the fight happening, it would be a lifetime opportunity for Topuria and his team.

We have to wait.
