Michael Bisping is pumped up for Ilia Topuria vs. Islam Makhachev.
Although no official bulletins have been made, Topuria made waves on social media when he introduced that his combat camp had formally begun for a rumored light-weight title conflict at UFC 317 throughout Worldwide Battle Week in Las Vegas.
Nevertheless, many are questioning precisely who Topuria will probably be dealing with. In all chance, he’ll problem reigning 155-pound champion Islam Makhachiev, although there are rumbling that the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ may vacate his belt in pursuit of welterweight gold, much like what Topuria did earlier this 12 months with the featherweight crown.
‘The Depend’ is assured it’ll be Topuria vs. Makhachev
Addressing all of the rumors on his YouTube channel, Bisping believes wholeheartedly that it’ll be Makhachev that ‘El Matador’ faces on June 28, alongside just a few different marquee matchups.
“Ilia, who’s began camp—who’s it going to be? It’s going to be Islam Makhachev,” Bisping stated. “I agree with all of you guys, okay? I’d be very shocked if that’s not the matchup that we see. And I’m telling you, there’s lots of people on the market speaking, saying, ‘Oh, take a look at this, UFC is struggling for Worldwide Battle Week.’
Properly, we’ve simply spoke about it, I’ve executed just a few movies—they could have Tom Aspinall versus Jon Jones, or perhaps Ciryl Gane, proper? Based on Chael Sonnen, they now doubtlessly have Ilia versus Islam Makhachev, which is only a sensational blockbuster, and there’s another enormous matchups on the market as nicely.
Till Dana White and Co. make an official announcement, hypothesis is certain to run rampant amongst combat followers, however whether or not it’s Islam Makhachev, Charles Oliveira, or somebody fully totally different, it seems like Ilia Topuria may have a possibility to etch his title within the UFC historical past books.
