Is Topuria getting paid that much to be able to afford private jets every time he travels??

Hes not a dagi style fighter though hes a judoka you tard.

Unless you mean missing weight. Very khabib of him.

I’ve heard he has big time financial backers.

It’s also why he’s able to make his mansion into a training center as well.

He’s an Eastern European wrestle fucker, he’s dagestani for all intents and purposes.

I don’t care if he got his black belt in judo and his jr Olympics bronze medal in missing weight.

Reinier de Ridder has a black belt in judo, he’s a good example of someone who isn’t an Eastern European wrestle fucker.

That said Armpit hasn’t fought since April 2024 and he shouldn’t be gifted a title shot for missing weight and sitting out and waiting.

Imagine trying to ride a split decision win to a title shot 16 months after that split decision, with you missing weight and faking an illness in between

I agree with Ilia. Stop rewarding these dorks that don’t participate in their professional occupation for 2 years while they wait for a title fight.

I’d rather watch Max fight him again than continue this trend of inactive fighters being gifted title shots while other dudes hang it out there.

And he’s only fought 2 people in the top 10. One was a loss to Gamrot and the other is was a split decision win over Oliveira.

Go get a top 5 win and cement your spot goat fucker.

Arman blew his title shot. He needs to fight Max or Paddy.

The UFC should delete the guy who hasn’t fought in 2 years and is demanding a title shot from the lightweight rankings, not Paddy.

I actually like Holloway/Hooker for the BMF title.

While it would be a good matchup, they can make it later, Hooker is wanting and willing to fight Arman, which is a rarity, nobody signs up to be Eastern European wrestle fucked to a split decision loss.

Illia can wait on WW super fight and take some time off.

Hooker vs Faggotukyan
Olives vs Holloway
Paddy vs Gaethje

Let the division find a clear #1 contender while Ilia weighs his options.

Tsarukyan on Topuria’s comeback

“(Topuria) wants to come back in January or February,” Tsarukyan told Adam Zubayraev. “And I haven’t fought in a long time.

“So I think I’ll need to fight in October or November. And I talked to the boss yesterday. They said maybe they will set up a fight with someone.

“In Abu Dhabi or in Qatar…maybe Gaethje, maybe (Dan) Hooker, maybe Paddy,” Tsarukyan added, pointing to the Scouser as his preferred opponent.

Hopefully, we see Ilia get back in the cage before the end of the year. If not, though, it’s down to the rest of the division to sort out who the real number one contender is.

It would be a clear and decisive unanimous decision loss at best for Hooker.
