WHO IS NEXT FOR ILIA TOPURIA?? Volk, Ortega, Islam, O'malley?

[@fuckbored4724]

It is easy to forget he exists, but somebody's 0 needs to go. Movsar evloev vs. Topuria. I doubt it happens though because nobody talks about him lol.

[@NwadeiMMA.]

@@fuckbored4724 I hear ya, but I think ilia has a point about him having 0 finishes and 4 split decisions

[@fuckbored4724]

If it's an unwritten rule that you need to get finishes in order to get a title shot, then Evloev is fucked because he's not going to be fighting guys that are easier to finish at this point in his career lol.@@NwadeiMMA.

@@NwadeiMMA.Nah playa Merab ain’t got no finishes either neither does Belal. You saying all them fools don’t deserve a title shot? Also, ilia don’t even got no title defenses he can’t fight Islam. I want to see Islam - Justin and if he wins then it’s against Leon

[@NwadeiMMA.]

@@keyboardwarrior6591 @fuckbored4724 Merab finished Marlon Moraes, and defeated 3 world champions. Belal finished Brady, and many perennial contenders. Both of their decision wins were all unanimous (evloev has 4 split decision) I understand that to go 8-0 is an enormous feat, but it’s unlikely he gets the next shot, he will either need a finish or another dominant win. Another note I think Islam Winn probably face winner of Geathje max AND winner of Charles & Arman before moving up

Out of all the super fights ufc could make ilia vs islam is definitely the matchup i’d like to see the most ilia vs arman would also be 🔥 if arman manages to win the belt
