Daniel Cormier Questions If Ilia Topuria Can Really No Longer Make 145 Pounds.

Topuria have been decided to vacate his ufc featherweight title for a move up to lightweight. Cormier Thinks Topuria, Who Competed As Low As Bantamweight Early in His Career, Wound Be A Fairly Small Lightweight in Comparison to Top Contenders.

Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) Fough Once at 155 Pounds WHEN HECKED OUT JAI HERBERT IN MARCH 2022. HIS MOST RECENT FIGHT CAME IN A KNOCOUT OF MAX HOLLLWHT, WHOCOUT Times, and Plans on Making the Permanent Move up HimSelf.

“He’s a champion thROUGH AND THROUGH, but WHEN I See Him, He’s Not A Big Guy,“ Cormier SAID OF TOPURIA ON “Good Guy/Bad Guy” with Sonnen. “I DON’T Feel Like He’s A Big Guy. SO to hear he says he Can’t Make 145 Anymore to Me Sems A Bit Odd.

“Because I See (UFC Lightweight Champion Islam) Makhachev (in the Gym). I saw khabib (nurmagomedov) as the champ. Hell, I See (Michael) Chandler, and Dude, (Charles) Oliveira Is Massive. THESE GUYS Are Bigger, Much Bigger, Than Ilia Topuria. Do you buy that he just can’t the most weight anymore, or is it i just don’t want to fight the Scale at that level? ”

Cormier is also surprised that topuria don’t hold onto his foterweight title WHEN chasing a Second UFC BELT. With topuria relinquishing, Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes Will Compete for the Vacant Belt in the UFC 314 Headliner April 12 at Kaseya Center from Miami.

“I’M very surprised that he’s vacating right now,” Cormier Said. “I’m very surprised because he have the option – you said, you thorough it would be for an interim Title Only Because Ilia has the option to let them fighter for an intere -g.

“The WIN HET The TITLE FROM VOLK AND THEN The TITLE DEFENSE Against Max Holloway, He Had the Option to Hold Oto the Belt, But He’s Saying Heing Up Bent. Doesn’t Feel Like ‘Everything,’ But It’s A Weigted Conversation Because He Just Beat the Two Greatest Featherweights of All Time Outside of Jose ALDO. ”
