There are a couple of guys who want to take on Topuria. Ilia should stop before going too far and attacking Islam’s honor. Our cultures are different, and I hope he doesn't go too far with his jokes.

Former UFC champion Islam Makhachev vacated his lightweight title to fight Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight championship. Ilia Topuria boasts an impressive record of 16 wins and no losses.
