The unknowns around the future of Iliary Top (16-0) They are solving frantically, and the equation is increasingly clear. ‘The legend’ will return to the UFC cage next June 28, In the International Fight Week of Las Vegas (UFC 317), to fight for the title of light weight. Information that is already confirmed that, now, the opponent remains to be added.
Everything, however, seems to point to Islam Makhachev (27-1). Although Charles Oliveira (35-10) has dropped his “return” on social networks, The last ‘sensations’ that arrive at this newspaper are those: the Daguestaní will not go up to the welter weight and will defend his belt for the fifth time, this time before the ‘Matador’.
Information that, in addition, is complemented by the one advanced by Álvaro Colmenero in which he indicates that the fight will be for the induced belt, no interim titles. Makhachev himself announced his return to the camp a few days ago in the Daguestan mountains, and Khabib Nurmagomedov left cryptic messages on networks that now make more sense.
In case of confirming, We would be talking about one of the biggest fights of the last five years in the UFC. The former featherweight champion, undefeated and turned into superstar after knocking out two legends such as Alexander Volkanovski (27-4) and Max Holloway (26-8), before the number #1 of the libra ranking per pound and the absolute king of the light weight.
“Ilia is the p *** greatest name right now”, This week said Merab Dvalishvili, friend of the Hispanogeorgiano and champion of the UFC Gallo weight. And he is right. His numbers in the Joe Rogan podcast (the most listened to in the world) They are an example: 2.8 million visualizations in six days. Superior to any other UFC fighter that has gone through that platform.
