Topuria Does Not Rule Out Moving to Welterweight

MMA

Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has indicated that he is open to the possibility of competing in the welterweight division.

Speaking at a recent press conference, Topuria addressed the potential move, stating, “Moving to welterweight? Sure, why not? It depends on whether the fans want to see me fight there. And if there`s a champion or a significant opponent available. I fight to entertain people.”

He added, “Obviously, I also need to be motivated by the challenge, so I`m not closing the door on welterweight. If the right opportunity arises and it`s an exciting matchup, I would agree to it.”
