He left no doubt: Iliary Top (16-0) confirmed to the American press this Friday his desire to Be a triple UFC champion … And be also dethroning Islam Makhachev (27-1). The 'Matador' attended the local media in Las Vegas before a session of 'workout' in the performance Institute of the UFC, and sent a message to Daguestán … Already everyone of the MMA.
Ilia, who will not have a race of 29-0 (such as Khabib, for example) and hurries her last 3-4 years as a professional fighter of MMA before strengthening her career as a promoter or trying in boxing (something that has dropped several times), He wants to make the most of his time in the cage and look for the fights that suppose him a greater possible challenge before leaving the Guantillas. And that goes through the current number one pounds per pound from the UFC: Makhachev.
“If Makhachev becomes champion of the welter weight, I will surely ask for an opportunity for the title in the 170 pounds “, He was the head that left the Hispanic-Georgian in Las Vegas.
If Makhachev becomes champion of the wélter weight, I will surely ask for an opportunity for the title in the 170 pounds
The translation is clear: If Islam proclaims champion against Jack Della Maddalena (date and place of the fight to be determined) In the welter weight, Ilia will push to face him in the 170 pounds.
