ILIA TOPURIA

Representing both Georgia and Spain, Ilia Topuria built his professional reputation by transitioning between the featherweight and lightweight divisions. Operating out of the Topuria Team, the orthodox fighter evolved from a grappling-focused specialist into a striker known for his accurate, heavy-handed boxing. His rise included capturing the featherweight belt through a knockout of Alexander Volkanovski, followed by a victory over Charles Oliveira that earned him the lightweight crown. Before his current bout, his journey to the top of these weight classes featured a unanimous decision win against Josh Emmett and a knockout victory over Max Holloway.

The fighter holds an overall professional record of seventeen wins and one loss. His most recent appearance inside the cage ended in defeat when his corner stopped his contest with Justin Gaethje.
