Earlier it was reported that Topuria left his title vacant and moved up to the lightweight division.
"Topuria vs. Dustin Porier or Charles Oliveira for the title belt challenger - let Elijah prove he's a worthwhile lightweight. That way we don't have to beat 'The Kid' again.
We need a high-profile fight that everyone will be interested in. And we've already given chances to the champion of welterweight, who owned his belt for a long time," Magomedov wrote in X.
