Ilia Topuria is preparing for a fight against Charles Oliveira for the vacant UFC lightweight title while casting doubt on Islam Makhachev's claim to still hold the lightweight title. Makhachev's decision to vacate the belt for a welterweight title shot is being challenged by Topuria, who asserts dominance in the division and emphasizes his readiness to claim the championship. As Makhachev's plans unfold in the welterweight category, Topuria's upcoming fight could reshape the lightweight landscape significantly.
You know from the beginning, he wanted to give the impression that he had some sort of decision. He also said... 'My move up to welterweight isn't going to matter because I'm not planning on vacating my title.' You remember that right? And I had said before that, I didn't move up to lightweight to ask anyone for anything and that I was the one in charge.
So who got their way, who did what they said? As always, him or me? So after this fight when I have the belt, he can get in line, which is a long one and someone's eyes will be shining.
