Topuria shouldn't have moved up to the LW Shark tank

[hbombbisping]

He could have defended at FW for a long time now he'll have to fight guys like Gamrot, Arman, large grapplers who he'll want to duck like how he ducked Evloev at FW. And if he ever does win a title Islam will throw him out of the cage at WW.

I guess we will find out.
I think it's cool that he challenges himself up a weightclass, as Islam also is doing.

High risk and high reward.

Gaurantee he'll duck Gamrot and Arman. In writing right here.

Islam is in a different stratosphere to Gamrot.
He called out Islam very vocally.
I bet he would have fought Arman as well if it was for the vacant belt.

That shit is the opposite of a shark tank. Which is precisely why he DID move up..

 

[prime_lobov]

Ilia would sleep Gamrot easily and probably sleep Arman as well

Islam ducked gamrot too

I’m not convinced he could’ve defended for a long time. Who’s to say he doesn’t retire after fighting Charles? Nobody knows his plans.

 

[Skarsgard]

If his body wouldn't do the cut anymore, then he made the right call. He's not going to have the same advantages in the higher weight class, but I expect he'll have some success.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

He won't be big at LW but I'm sure he'll have a speed advantage. He has one shot power at FW, will be interesting if it carries up to LW

 

[flektarn]

The Islam fight would've been worth it. He had shit to do at FW still, so this is kind of eh. That said, the fights he has at LW are more exciting.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

I think he’ll have to show more facets of his game against the LWs, which Im interested to see more of

Especially if some of these guys can eat those power shots and make the fight dirty, making him clinch/grapple

How do you know?

How come?

 

[hbombbisping]

How come?

Because his ego has become so huge that he has already abandoned his team and he is past the point in his career where he wants to risk getting grapple fucked by someone with no name value that doesn't land him another title. Actually he already did this by gun and running to LW with only 1 FW defence.

Top can't afford to duck Anyone. He left as a champion, no question about it.

He made his choice, can't wait to see his first fight - fireworks guaran-F'n-teed.

Would be so fucking gay honestly if he tries to duck out like Mcgregor. Smart move though.. I can't blame a man for not wanting to get CTE

From an entertainment standpoint.. Bro is 28. That's like 10-20 fights left in the tank

 

[legedema]

well, seems like UFC working a lot to have Topuria as LW champ.
imo Oliviera is 2 old now for a young fighter like Tporuia ( I hope I am wrong by the way ).
they should let him fight Arman for the title.
I want Oliviera to win this but I see Topuria catches him and KO's him

Arman is short and Topuria has way better striking.
If he can keep it standing he will win easily.

Gamrot gassed against Hooker, is old and his striking is average.
