Legendary former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre recently shared his thoughts on a potential dream fight between current lightweight king Islam Makhachev and featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.
Analyzing the stylistic matchup, St-Pierre commented on Topuria`s formidable striking power, stating, “When Topuria lands his strikes on opponents, they fall.”
In contrast, he described Makhachev`s strengths, characterizing the Dagestani fighter as “an elite grappler and applies a lot of pressure.”
St-Pierre concluded that because both athletes are highly skilled “in all aspects,” a hypothetical clash between them would undoubtedly prove to be “a great fight for fans.”
