The future of is unknown Ilia Topuria inside the octagon, but, little by little, glimpses of what lies ahead begin to emerge. The clearest clue was given by Ilia himself as soon as he knocked out Holloway. With the octagon invaded by the coaching staff of the two fighters, the adrenaline in full swing and the featherweight belt of the CFU At Ilia’s height, the future hovered over the Etihad Center.
Topuria had already kissed the King Emeritus Juan Carlos Ihugged his brother and Sergio Ramos and consoled Holloway and his team when he dropped the bomb. Volkanovski, whose title he won less than eight months ago, went into the octagon to congratulate Ilia who, after receiving him in her arms, assured him of a rematch.
“He defended his belt several times. He deserves revengeOf course we will. “He’s a legend,” El Matador said as Volkanovski nodded in approval. It was a confirmation on both sides, but the fight had to crystallize. A week later, the theory and venue for celebrating the event are gaining strength.
From USA They point out that Volkanosvki and Topuria are scheduled to face each other in the spring and in Spain. Two issues that correspond to Ilia’s idea and the intentions of the UFC. The Matador He told a press conference that his desire was to compete before the summer and land the UFC in Spain, the same goal as the American company.
It is true that Ilia’s desire is to fight with Makhachev for the lightweight title and become a double champion, but the Russian should win his fight at the start of the year. There would be little time left and since it is a fight of this magnitude, the UFC would try to take him to the United States.
Ilia seems ready to postpone such a legendary fight to bring the UFC to Spain. To do this, he must seduce Dana White, CEO of the company. “I’ll sit down soon and I will try to convince him of the Bernabéualthough I understand it at the same time. It’s a very big stadium and they want to generate a good show and a good experience for the supporters. You need to sit down and watch the arguments. “I will push for the Bernabéu,” Ilia said.
The UFC focuses on indoor venues to host its events, but also doesn’t shy away from sitting down and chatting. “I hate going to stadiums, but if that’s what we have to do… we will. I need availability. The good news is that we have never been left without doing something we wanted to do. For me it is important to be in Spain in 2025,” says White. Volkanosvki’s revenge is strengthening and the arrival in Spain by 2025 seems inevitable.
