Ilia Topuria, the former UFC Featherweight champion, has suggested that a potential move to the welterweight division remains an option he is considering.
Speaking at a recent press conference, Topuria commented, “Moving to welterweight? Absolutely, why wouldn`t I? It really depends on the demand from the fans to see me compete in that division. It also hinges on whether there is a champion available for me to challenge. Fundamentally, I fight to provide entertainment to people. Of course, the prospect of a significant challenge also serves as a strong motivator, so I am definitely keeping the door open for a move to welterweight. If the right situation presents itself and there`s an exciting opponent or opportunity, I would certainly be agreeable to it.”
