UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, who has expressed his desire to fight Max Holloway for the BMF title, revealed when he would be ready to return to the octagon.
Ilia Topuria
I want to fight like in September and October. To be able to fight again in the first trimester of the year. I think they want me to fight in The Sphere in September. We'll see how they're going to figure out the things.
Recall that on September 15 UFC 306 will take place at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, a tournament dedicated to Mexican Independence Day.
The 27-year-old Topuria last fought against Alexander Volkanovski in February 2024 at UFC 298. In that fight, Ilia won by knockout in the second round. He has 15 wins and no losses on his record.
Holloway, 32, last stepped into the octagon in April 2024 at UFC 300, knocking out Justin Gaethje with a second-round knockout. He has 25 wins and seven losses on his record.
