We are very fortunate to live in this unique time for MMA. With practically every UFC tournament, history is being rewritten, and we are witnessing extraordinary events. On October 26th, Ilia Topuria sensationally knocked out Max Holloway. This unique event marks the end of an era — the conclusion of the classic era of mixed martial arts and the dawn of a new, intense, and era dominated by new kings.
Who would have thought that just mentioning this fight on social media would cause such a huge response within the fighting community?
Although both fighters have championship commitments in the form of title defenses and championship honors, the rulers of neighboring realms have the potential to create one of the greatest showdowns in the world of sports.
But what if we put these two guys in the cage and lock them inside? Believe us, even in terms of fan expectations and legacy, this fight would make it to the first pages of the history book on mixed martial arts.
So, get comfortable, because we have prepared for you five reasons why Ilia Topuria will stop Islam Makhachev and show the world exactly how to defeat the tough Dagestani style.
