He wins the 145 lb strap, ko’ing the long reigning champ and making it look easy; books the fight against Max next and starches him too.

Bets on himself. Vacates the belt.

Now he’s destined for a 155 title eliminator or title shot. I like the confidence from Topuria here. I think his power translates very well at 155. I don’t know if he has it in him to be any kind of triple champ, but I could see him winning one more belt.

Why say you Sherbros?

You'd think that because of this his fans would call him 'Top G;

but no, they went with 'Toppy'

Imagine if he beats a top contender and then beats Islam for the belt. Now that's doing it the right way.
 
Yeah, He's a gangster gangster for real.

moving up to take the LW title after relinqishing his title burning the bridge completely behind him. A beast move anyway you slice it. This guy is taking a HUGE gamble and honestly, it's a great time to do it. the timing of all this is great for him.
 
Serious balls on this guy. Vacates his title to move up. Unprecedented. There’s not really much else to say.

Against a guy who doesn't even look like a good matchup for him at all should be added, further increasing the size of his nuts.

This isn't a case of a guy going up in weight to fight a guy where the consensus is that he should probably beat him, like it was with GSP vs Bisping.

Islam being fucking massive and a master grappler along with a KO threat on the feet (especially his high kick and Top is another shorter guy who was dropped by Jai by a highkick) so this is a tough ass fight.

Honestly it’s prime Conor-level confidence, amazing to witness but who knows how far he can take it.
