What happens if Paddy Pimblett is booked as Ilia Topuria's comeback opponent? 🤔
nick00769w2d ago
I think Paddy has a chance to win, Staying out of ilia's range with should be easy since, he's size as Tom Cruise

Line it up fan or not that’s a great match.

Paddy lands a couple of nice jabs to the face. Ilia has flash backs, tries to shoot, gets choked out. First round.
When gaithe pummels this donkey faced spainiard then the bs will be over!!

What more does Ilia Topuria need to do to cement himself as the GOAT?🐐
Joe Rogan believes Topuria is on his way to becoming the greatest ever, do you agree?
q1896700919d ago
People are overrating longevity imo, longevity shouldn't matter if you're not fighting good competition, ilia is at a really competitive era and division right now so we'll see where it goes from here. He has to be careful with his return
jc.tumlinson113d ago
Topuria will ko gaethe. Put him to sleep early.
jbdizzl545118d ago
Idk maybe clean out a division to start with.

How would you improve Ilia Topuria's GOAT list? 🐐
leemanis88130d ago
I agree with a lot of the comments. Remove McGregor and add Demetrius Johnson.
harvey.leonard130d ago
I like it if we're talking about more than just resume and accomplishments. McGregor's impact on the sport gets him on in that case. If we're talking strictly records and accolades, DJ over McGregor
kyle.dimond130d ago
Conor has an argument because of how much he changed the sport but you can't have a GOAT list without Demetrious Johnson on there. For my money, the best mixed martial artist to ever do it.

Who wins in a fight between Topuria vs Usman? What about Topuria vs Islam? WHO YOU GOT?
q1896700919d ago
For now I think Ilia will beat Usman, I believe Usman will put up a good fight though. And I think Islam would steamroll ilia, hes too big, and his striking is underrated, I don't think hell have as much trouble as he did with volk due to ilia being less stocky, and having less defense against wrestling, ilia is a good grappler though.
sphentastick238d ago
To clarify.. I'm talking about Usman Nurmagomedov.. not Kumaru Usman.. WHO YOU GOT BETWEEN USMAN VS USMAN???

Who wins between Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria in their prime?
axethetacs24d ago
Who cares? This make-believe BS is for kids. I want to see a real fight.
dr.cheyno179d ago
Topuria, too well rounded for McGregor
shaheenvanniekerk60181d ago

How long do you think Ilia Topuria will be sidelined for?
The UFC lightweight champion is taking a break from MMA to focus on a problem outside the Octagon.
jordan.ellis281d ago
Guessing he'll be back for the White House card. If not, probably get stripped.
harvey.leonard281d ago
Doesn't seem like anything is close to being solved. Can see him vacating the title and being away for the best part of a year
kyle.dimond287d ago
Unfortunately, I don't think he'll be back until the second half of 2026 which sucks.

What more does Ilia Topuria have to do to enter the UFC GOAT debate? 🐐
jermfreitag218d ago
I mean for starters he needs to defend his Lightweight title.

jamie.theodosi240d ago
Kind of crazy that he already has as good or better legacy than Khabib...
hectorcuevaserbil286d ago
When he beats Islam at 170 , he can’t be denied GOAT status…
Was Ilia Topuria's title-winning KO against Charles Oliveira his most brutal finish in the UFC so far?
'Do Bronx' joined Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway on the list of big names who have fallen victim to Topuria's ferocious power.
kyle.dimond260d ago
The Jai Herbert one was definitely more brutal. An absolutely crazy KO
russianroulette3715261d ago
It's all DW and Ilia game to duck Arman until Arman quit the UFC like how DW played out Francis Ngannou against Jon Jones...this is to protect his golden boys. Haters gonna argue but the truth remained.
jamie.theodosi298d ago
I actually think his KO over Jai Herbert was his most brutal, or even Ryan Hall.
I think Arman should be next But Dana White is Bitter at Arman for Dropping out of a Huge Fight. So I think the Winner of the paddy/Gaethje Fight Deserves a Shot.
jordan.ellis297d ago
Seriously, what's Arman gotta do to get off Dana White's naughty list haha

Who should Ilia Topuria fight when he returns to the UFC?
russianroulette3715261d ago
Even if Arman missed the fight in the last event, there should be a time frame for penalty but surely not indefinitely. DW always play dirty to protect his crybabies like Jon and Ilia. These 2 ducks will go down as cowards hiding behind the promotion manipulative system..
harvey.leonard274d ago
If there wasn't an interim title in the mix it would for sure be Arman. But once an interim champion is crowned, it has to be them sadly.
kyle.dimond297d ago
It should be Arman but you can't not have the interim champ get the chance to unify the belt. Unless, of course, you're a heavyweight named Tom Aspinall.
