Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria is sure that his knockout ability will be amplified when he moves up to the lightweight division.
In a recent appearance on Joe Rogan`s podcast, Topuria stated his belief that in the lightweight class, just a minimal strike will be sufficient to knock out his adversaries. He emphasized that precise jaw hits wouldn`t even be necessary, suggesting that even a glancing blow to the head could result in a knockout.
Topuria conveyed his feeling of enhanced strength and stability at lightweight. He dismissed concerns about wrestling, confidently asserting that his stamina is so immense that he could endure fighting for extended periods, far beyond the standard five rounds of a UFC fight.
