He's younger than anyone in the top 15 at Lightweight, Featherweight and Bantamweight..... Except 1 ( Song Yadong ). He's currently the youngest champion, only one in his 20's.

Basically he's going to rule for a very long time and the new generation might have to come in to dethrone him or he retires on top

He has really pumped new life into the UFC. He makes press conferences and interviews fun, but remains humble in victory. Talks the talk and walks the walk. He's very well-rounded, great grappler and striker so haters can't really say a whole lot.
 
Dude has already established himself as a bonafied UFC superstar. All without the manufacturing industry plant help like others.
So much upside to this kid. Can’t wait to see if he keeps this fire going
 
real scary
hollywood should make a new subgenre in scary movies sections: 27 years old - soon to have midlife crisis if not becoming longtime ufc champion
 
What's scary?

Right now it's a weak division. If he's that good. Move up but he won't

Wow I feel it's the complete opposite so far.
He tries waay to hard, mostly tries to be like Conor in every way which is obvious. I was suprised last night, because he did feel humble when Volk enter the cage, but today I read "I choose everything"(https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/I...olkanovski-Rematch-I-Choose-Everything-195319).
Now he has beaten Volk and Max really impressive, I think he is such a good fighter but I hate this urge he has to be a star, to be famous. Wouldn't suprise me if he pays Sergio Ramos to hang out with him. I just really dislike people who thinks to high of themselfs, like they are better then everyone, this social media-era which even badass fighters do. And I get it, get in, get rich, get out etc.. Him trying to be Conor just rubs me wrong. My personal opinion. Love his skills.
 
Indeed.
I was rooting for Max, but, wow, Topuria is really good.

I wonder what's next.
TS for Volk? Rematch?
Diego Lopes?
Evloev if he beats Sterling?

I wonder if Evloev could wrestle him for 25 minutes, but I doubt.
Diego, although entertaining, is too reckless.
