Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion and prominent commentator and analyst, recently shared his insightful thoughts on a highly anticipated potential super-fight between current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.
Cormier expressed his conviction, stating, “The UFC regularly hosts numerous significant bouts. However, I question if the promotion could currently stage a more monumental showdown than a potential clash between Topuria and Makhachev, should they both agree to it. Ilia Topuria is widely considered an overwhelming favorite against nearly every other fighter in the UFC, with the possible exception of Islam Makhachev. This alone highlights the immense regard in which Ilia Topuria is held, particularly following his impressive victory over Alexander Volkanovski to claim the UFC featherweight title,” Cormier was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
