Colby Covington vs. Ilia Topuria
Conversation between Colby Covington and Ilia Topuria
“You are going to have to stuff his takedowns and make him work like Volkanovski did in that first fight. Stuff the takedowns and brawl with him. I think Topuria is the perfect fight for him. I think that fight needs to happen. Topuria has a low center of gravity, so he's going to be very hard to take down. When [Makhachev] is not taking him down, [Topuria] is going to be punching him with all he's got. So, I'm hoping that the UFC makes that fight next -via The Schmo, picking Ilia Topuria as the toughest stylistic matchup for Islam Makhachev at welterweight.”
