The acclaimed American mixed martial arts veteran, Demetrious Johnson, has voiced his perspective that UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria is likely to conclude his competitive career within the coming years.
Describing Topuria as a “unicorn,” Johnson predicted, “I think we will see him three to four more times, at most five, and then he will disappear. Perhaps there will come a time when he leaves the sport undefeated, because he will have nothing left to prove.”
Topuria recently made headlines with a decisive first-round knockout victory over Charles Oliveira at UFC 317, which took place in late June.
