Hanging out on El Hormiguero, former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria spilled the beans about his upcoming duel set for June 29 at UFC 317. This lad's a firecracker at 28! His opponent? It's either Islam Makhachev or the charismatic Charles Oliveira.
But here's the lowdown: The UFC 315 title clash between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena will decide Makhachev's next dance partner. If Muhammad snags the victory, Makhachev will defend his lightweight turf. But if Della Maddalena emerges victorious, Makhachev will angle for another belt in the welterweight division, and Topuria will dance with Oliveira.
Now, here's an interesting tidbit: Topuria ain't goin' by the moniker "Legend" in his next skirmish. He'll make his grand entrance as "El Matador" once again, UFC 315 is scheduled for May 11.
