When it comes to the world of the UFC, one name that is rapidly climbing the ladder to fame is Ilia Topuria. According to UFC middleweight Roman Dolidze, this young and ambitious fighter is set to make history as the first UFC champion from Georgia.
Dolidze passionately believes in Topuria's potential. He asserts, “Ilia is young, hungry, and he's got this burning desire to win. Everything is lining up perfectly for him and he's making rapid strides up the UFC ladder. I truly believe the UFC is thrilled with the prospect of Ilia becoming a champion. He's got all the right ingredients to come out victorious in this fight. Topuria has an impressive fighting style and there is undeniable power in his punches. So, I predict that come February, we'll be celebrating a new champion and Georgia's first UFC belt."
On February 17, all eyes will be on Ilia Topuria as he steps into the ring with the current UFC featherweight champion, Alex Volkanovski. This fight is set to headline the UFC's 298th tournament, adding even more significance to this highly-anticipated event.
