Diego is a great prospect and challenger.
They panned over to him after the KO and he looked scared shitless.

Lopes ain't gonna do a damn thing. The best striker he's faced was Ige and Ige was winning exchanges. Ortega has always sucked. I dont think anything based on that fight.
As a Max fan I knew Topuria’s boxing will be too much for him. To fight Topuria, you need to be relentless and fearless to stand and exchange with him. Max wasn’t that in their match.
Diego will be the guy to defeat Ilia by heart
I would expect Topuria to use his grappling against Yair. If Ilia decided to just stand with Yair, it could go Yair's way. I could see Yair's kicking game giving Ilia trouble. If Ilia mixes in takedowns and grappling, I would expect it to Ilia to win pretty easily.He's the person with the best chance, but I also don't see him doing it. I think you have to go after Topuria early which Diego would do.
Again, I wouldn't pick him to do it, but I think Yair would be a threat to him too. Topuria isn't the guy who will get outclassed over 5 rounds, he's the guy who when he does lose he'll get finished early
Watch Aljo beat Topuria. 48-47 controversial decision lol Aljo gets dropped round 2 & 4 but takes 1, 3, & 5 with back control.
Diego is the last hope
Highly doubt …. He’ll just get knocked out early if he fights recklessAs a Max fan I knew Topuria’s boxing will be too much for him. To fight Topuria, you need to be relentless and fearless to stand and exchange with him. Max wasn’t that in their match.
