Aleksandre Topuria has 'no doubt' that he had defeated Ilia Topuria in a cage fight
The Topuria brothers were in September 2024 for a lie detector test. One of the questions was whether Aleksandre thought he could beat his brother in a fight. He said yes, and it was detected as the truth.
“If you ever had to be my opponent, I would have no doubt that I would beat you,” Aleksandre noted. '[…] I would beat you. “
The two brothers laughed, but the tension was thick. The lie detector operator stated that Aleksandre told the truth to which Topuria replied: “I really did not expect that you would have that mentality.”
Aleksandre Topuria's career so far
Aleksandre is a 5-1 professional who enters his UFC 312 fight. In contrast to his brother, Aleksandre has tasted the defeat, which was still plagued by Ivo Ivanov in 2015.
The most striking was that Aleksandre was almost six years old from the sport after tasting his first defeat and since then no longer left the first round, so that all three opponents are sent by Knockout. Where fans show concern, however, is the quality of the opponent of Aleksandre.
The opponents of Aleksandre have a combined record of 12-32, with one hunter who takes care of seven of those victories. This does not predict well, because he assumes Dicknesse, who cuts his teeth on the Australian regional circuit against opponents with winning records.
