On October 26, Ilia Topuria once again shocked the world. Not long ago, he was called a "lucky guy" who managed to knock out Volkanovski, but today he is the biggest name in the mixed martial arts industry. It’s time to find out who he really is and dive into the harsh reality that Ilia Topuria creates for his opponents.
The first media attention our protagonist received was at UFC Fight Night 204, held in London. "El Matador" was on a three-fight winning streak in the top promotion, and his opponent was the well-known Jai Herbert. At that time, however, Topuria wasn't yet a star, and all the attention was on Pimblett—the true star of the promotion, who commanded the spotlight. By a twist of fate, Ilia encountered Pimblett in the hotel lobby, where a scuffle broke out between the fighters.
