2025 has been for a large year for 'El Matador', but it is just starting to fall into acceleration.
After a starsized 2024 where he became the UFC Feather Wege champion, Ilia Topuria left the title last month to go to lightweight.
The unbeaten former champion had previously stated that he was not going to linger for a long time at 145 pounds because of the difficult weight reductions he spent himself.
We are now waiting for news about what he will do afterwards with Topuria who recently teases fans through an incoming announcement to mortgage.
Lightweight Islam Makhachev apparently also hinted to Topuria as his next challenger with a social media post on which fans went and ran.

Ilia Topuria plays in New Disney+ Promo for the release of Marvel's Daredevil
Fight fans look at the social media channels of Ilia Topuria such as Hawks in case there is a sign of perhaps the two best fighters in the world who now lock Hoorns for the lightweight title.
However, his next step has not had to deal with his UFC career, although it shows the level of celebrity that he has become Spain in his home country.
'El Matador' recently played in a new promotion video for the Disney+ release of the latest TV series from Marvel Studios, Daredevil: Born Again.
The series recently premiered on the streaming service and on Disney+ Espana there is a giveaway action that offers the winner the opportunity to train with the former Vederweight champion.
Given that he only made his UFC debut in October 2020, to see Topuria Front and Center for one of the largest TV shows of the year, shows what he was able to achieve in such a short time.
The 28-year-old may not have the same superhuman senses as Matt Murdock, but the nickname of 'The Man Without Fear' feels quite suitable for the latest superstar in the UFC.
“We are giving away a master class with Topuria. Learn fighting such as Daredevil in an exclusive master class that is given by Ilia Topuria, which will take place in Madrid next Thursday 13 March. “
Is there something else useful for the next step from Ilia Topuria?
Consider what Ilia Topuria said on social media about fans about fans who “don't believe” his next step as soon as it has been announced, that seems to indicate just one fight.
Of course a number one competition match against people like Charles Oliveira would still be a huge fight, but the one who wants to see everyone is Islam Makhachev.
There is an assumption that Topuria would not leave the title of featherweight, unless this possibility to fight immediately for the lightweight belt was not already presented.
Although we do not know that Makhachev's fight is 100% for him, it feels like something other than that would be somewhat overwhelming.
