According to the source, the parties have reached an agreement that satisfies both sides and corresponds to Topuria's initial proposals. The legal proceedings, which lasted several months and included issues of child custody, financial claims, and mutual accusations, have been officially closed.
Ilia himself has already returned to active training. Recently, he posted a photo from his home gym in Madrid with the caption 'The champion returns!', confirming that the focus is now completely on the octagon. Previously, the fighter stated that he did not plan to fight in the early months of 2026 precisely due to family circumstances—now the path to return is open.
It is expected that Topuria's next opponent will be Justin Gaethje, who won the interim title in a fight with Paddy Pimblett.
