Topuria: “In Lightweight, Just a Touch Will Turn Out the Lights”

Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria is confident that his knockout power will be even more devastating in the lightweight division.

“You`ll see for yourself – at lightweight, I`ll just need to touch someone to knock them out. It won`t even require a precise hit to the jaw. A single touch to the head, and it`s over,” Topuria stated.

“In lightweight, I feel incredibly strong and grounded. Want to wrestle? No problem. My stamina is more than enough to fight for five days, not just five rounds,” Topuria mentioned on Joe Rogan`s podcast.
