Arman Tsarukyan, the number one ranked lightweight in the UFC, gave a forecast for a possible bout between the current champion of the promotion in this weight category Ilia Topuria and former champion Islam Makachev.

“Islam Makachev would defeat Ilia Topuria by technical knockout. Islam is a fighter of a different level. You cannot compare him to Ilia.”

Let us remind you, Makachev has moved to the welterweight division and is now waiting for a fight with the champion in this weight class Jack Della Maddalena.
