Peter Yan, former UFC lightweight champion, shared his opinion on the organization's current featherweight champion Elijah Topuria. He noted that Elijah is an interesting fighter, but he was a bit "carried away" after winning the championship belt.
"Volkanovski after a knockout loss to Makhachev at 70 kilograms, without recovering and rehabilitating, immediately took the fight with Topuria. He was winning the first round. And then his under-recovery took its toll. Topuria is an interesting fighter. He has knockout power. Now he's caught up in the euphoria and he's starting to call everybody out. That's what I don't understand a little bit. That's the hype, that he's ready to fight everyone in any weight class. But that's not going to happen," stated Yang.
