Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion in two weight classes and now a commentator and analyst, commented on the fact that Ilia Topuria, the champion of the promotion in lightweight, comes from a wealthy family.
“It turns out, Topuria comes from a wealthy family. Ilia was rich even before UFC. The same goes for Tsarukyan. Arman is also wealthy. Can you imagine if two rich guys fight for the UFC championship belt? It’s very strange: the fate of the belt will be decided in a bout between guys who achieved wealth not through fights.”
