Islam Makhachev’s manager contradicts coach’s endorsement of potential Ilia Topuria super fight
Topuria will vacate the featherweight belt in favor of a lightweight title run once Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes enter the Octagon at UFC 314 in April. After defeating Max Holloway at UFC 308, Topuria announced a planned full-time move to 155lbs, despite only one featherweight title defense.
Diego Lopes says UFC’s reenforced stance against champ-vs.-champ fights led to Ilia Topuria vacating the featherweight title.
According to a report by Ariel Helwani, it appears as though a super fight between Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria could be targeted to headline one of the UFC's premier annual pay-per-view cards.
