"Ilia's got the best boxing, I believe, in the whole division, all the divisions, not just one. So that'd would be an area I would be foolish to want to try to go up against boxing for boxing. That's not a smart move." - Javier Mendez
"[Topuria] finished Holloway, a clash against Makhachev in the near future doesn't seem too far-fetched. Mendez admits it wouldn't be wise of Makhachev to engage with Topuria on the feet, but says the same is true for 'El Matador' in wrestling."
"While Topuria has recently gained fame as a knockout artist, the champ had only one KO win and seven submission wins to his name before joining the UFC, indicating his earlier strengths in grappling over striking."
