Topuria reminds Cormier of McGregor from the Aldo fight

Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion and current commentator and analyst, said that the current contender for the organization's featherweight championship belt Ilia Topuria reminds him Conor McGregor since the fight against Aldo.

“He’s already made himself a champion. He has already stated that he will fight Conor at a stadium in Spain. He has already said that Volkanovski cannot compete with him. Usually, fighters slow down before a fight, but this guy, on the contrary, increases the pressure. His confidence in himself reminds me of Conor’s confidence before the fight with Aldo...” said Cormier.

Let us remind you that Topuria will fight his next fight against UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski. Their confrontation will headline UFC 298.
