McDonald's

Dude needs to stay in feather weight, Justin literally broke his face.

tamaz.margiani3w ago

Rigged fight a lot of questions about Gaethje, steroides, plastered tapes et.c. it was dirty game against Topuria.

nick00769w3w ago

It wasn't rigged, your boy just believed his own hype and his face destroyed. He needs to stick to feather weight.

guygaudreau3583w ago

Rigged how? He got destroyed

ktendrup15213w ago

He's fine he just needs to fight a top 5 contender and see where he is placed before he gets another shot.. let paddy and him brawl that would be a fan fight

mike12yankees2mo ago

He will be fine once he gets over his injuries. He will fight whomever the UFC, tells him to fight in the future

jbdizzl5452mo ago

There will be plenty of fights for him. He better just rest that melon for a while

dblock95403mo ago

It's going to be hard for Topuria to return and climb his way back through the ranks. As far as Topuria letting a rematch. He doesn't deserve a rematch and if he wants to challenge for the lightweight title, he should have to fight his way through the ranks like everyone else. Threatening retirement shouldn't get him anywhere. Win his way back to the top

notyoman6194w ago

I couldn't agree more, the total beat down he took He needs to fight his way back up. Who knows he may never be the same fighter he was again......

smill0313813mo ago

A long layoff and probably somebody outside of the top 5 for his return, if his health and career are the priorities.

augustinejtrujillo3mo ago

Ilia should go back down in weight.

kylejamessandy3mo ago

I used to hate Justin gaejthe and ilia topuria but now they're my second and third faves respectively

kyle.dimond3mo ago

Wow, that's a big turnaround. Just because of their fight?

dr.cheyno3mo ago

Back to the drawing board and don't think you can just walk down any fighter and stand in front of them. He seemed to lack the movement he usually has and also a major lack of respect for Justin's power.

mike12yankees3mo ago

Going back to featherweight

jamie.theodosi3mo ago

If Paddy beats BSD (huge if) then that makes sense next year. But failing that, I’m not actually sure. Maybe the winner of McGregor vs Max

markmarston3mo ago

Will Conor come back down to 55 if he stops Max?

5starjohnny3mo ago

Hey, hows that celebration party now Topuria?? Loser.

jordan.ellis3mo ago

Not a title shot. It was a very disapoointing first defense. If he wants to stay at lw he must beat a top contender.

markmarston3mo ago

His resume earns another immediate shot at the title

kyle.dimond3mo ago

Needs some serious time off after that fight. The Paddy fight would be a huge one to come back to. I don't think fighting the winner of McGregor vs Holloway 2 is off the table either.

richknife1003mo ago

Only if he moves up or if the winner moves down but that will be too easy. Easy 1st/2nd round KO for Topuria

markmarston3mo ago

Give him plenty of time to recover and perhaps look at the Paddy fight. But first and foremost is his health… don’t even think about returning if that eye isn’t 100% healed.

richknife1003mo ago

PADDY!?!? That fooking fool will be too easy for my boy Ilia
