It’s at all times superior to see a rustic get behind a fighter, and it’s much more unimaginable to see them lose their minds when that fighter wins—and, on this case, a title.
Georgia now has two champions, each of which captured UFC gold in 2024. Ilia Topuira received the Featherweight championship in February when he slept Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298. Are Roman Dolidze and Guram Kutateladze subsequent? (In all probability not)
