Newly topped UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, recent off his gorgeous knockout victory over Alex Volkanovski at UFC 298 in Anaheim, simply made the duvet of MARCA, the most important and most widely-distributed sports activities publication in Spain.
That’s type of like Ronda Rousey scoring the duvet of Ring Journal, since MARCA — which focuses totally on soccer (soccer) — is now that includes an athlete from a special self-discipline. Simply don’t count on “El Matador” to obtain the identical pushback.
Have to be all these PETs (Efficiency Enhancing Tannins).
Topuria, nonetheless simply 27 years previous, stays undefeated at 15-0 and will kick off a brand new period within the featherweight division, although not everybody atop the 145-pound ladder believes the fan-flattening champ is right here to remain, notably if this struggle occurs.
No phrase but on when the German-born Spaniard (of Georgian descent) makes his return to the Octagon. Topuria is just not satisfied the featherweight division holds any credible threats — until this champion retains, forcing impressionable followers to declare, “holy s—t.”
