Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson believes that the boxing skills of lightweight titleholder Ilia Topuria could pose a serious problem for Arman Tsarukyan.

ā€œI'll be honest: I don't want to see Tsarukyan fight Topuria, because Arman is my friend. And I feel that Topuria's hands might be a problem. Although everyone says that Topuria will not be a problem for Arman—neither in wrestling nor striking,ā€ said Jackson on the JAXXON Podcast.

Let us recall that Topuria conquered the lightweight division in June, knocking out Charles Oliveira. At the beginning of this month, it became known that the Spanish Georgian put his career on hold due to personal life issues.
