Undefeated featherweight and reigning champion of 145 lbs Ilia Topuria, after having a fantastic 2024, is looking to give the MMA fans more thrill in 2025 or coming years as the champ plans to move up in weight class to fight for the belts. The target is to become UFC’s first three-weight class title holder. The other division champions need to take the threats seriously because he has backed his statements in the past and delivered what he said in the press conference. Despite knocking two of the greatest featherweights in the history of the UFC, the Spaniard still has much to prove as another undefeated fighter waiting to fight him.
Russian fighter Movsar Evloev is a potential threat to Ilia Topuria’s featherweight crown. He has yet to be defeated in his professional career. His last fight ended with a controversial unanimous decision victory over Aljamain Sterling, his 19th victory in his professional career and 9th in the UFC. Movsar Evloev’s performance so far has made him a worthy title challenger, and the Russian is ready to fight the reigning champ and get his hands on the belt.
Though his eyes are on the featherweight gold, he is also eyeing a fight against the Spaniard, irrespective of the weight class. Recently, while taking to MMA fighting, the undefeated title challenger expressed his opinions on his next fight.
Ilia has started talking that he’s moving up. I don’t know what’s going on. But for me, it doesn’t matter who my next opponent will be. If the champion moves up, he will leave the title, I will get the title, and then I will follow him. lightweight is not too far for me.”
Movsar Evloev said
He also vowed to chase Ilia Topuria if the Spaniard moves to the middleweight or lightweight as he is ready to put on weight to fight him.
“Even if he moves up, I will take the belt first, because this is my first goal, and then I will go after him, even if he goes to middleweight. He is not a big guy. I don’t need to cut weight to beat this guy. I need his head on my list.”
