The big moment that I promised has arrived. After three rounds of exchange, struggle and equality, Ilya Topuria (16-0) ascended to the paradise of mixed martial arts with a mixture of history. As he did against Alexander volkanovsky in WFC 298, in He destroyed and dismantled the 308 Max Holloway with an unusual combination.
Topuria used his boxing, as he warned. He shortened the distance (Holloway always works from an average length), managed to deliver a forehand and from there it was all over. Holloway held on to his feet, but when Topuria pulled the left collapsed. Elijah was the King.
Then came his celebration. Have tea and relax. He went on to take his 16th rose, one for victory. He also kissed the forehead of King Juan Carlos I, and was the owner of the best party in Abu Dhabi. Alexander volkanovsky promised a rematch… Amazing.
Ko toporia.
Topuria is already a legend. Alexander volkanovsky and Max Holloway were fired. In his first defense, Topuria closes a circle. But he will continue to increase it because his talent has no limits.
