Topuria got into UFC in 2020, winning by decision, but then he got off the chain - three straight KO wins early in the fight and a split decision win over equally undefeated fighter Bruce Mitchell. At the same time, the Georgian dominated without letting his opponent lift his head after takedowns, beating him in standing. In the second round, Ilia, as a result, choked him.
Josh Emmett
Emmett has long been considered a promising guy, and fans love him for his spectacular style (he fights with no brakes). After five wins, Josh got the right to fight Yair Rodriguez for the "interim" belt. But it was not a great bout. He failed one round in the standup division and was choked to death. Rodriguez had never won in the UFC by submission before.
Expert Betting Tips
Topuria has never been able to stop; honestly, it's still unclear how it can be done. But it's clear that it won't be Josh Emmett if anyone can do it.
Emmett is very good at standing and will fight on his feet. The Georgian will most likely accept such a style. If something suddenly goes wrong or he gets bored, he'll do a takedown and finish his opponent. The defense of the fight, and the wrestling itself, is entirely different. This is how we see things developing. Topuria will move his opponent down, torture him, threaten him with a takedown, and score with a grand slam.
