An MMA icon has had enough of Ilia Topuria campaign that takes on Islam Makhachev.
Since the elimination of Max Holloway, the Spanish georgian has desperately tried to have the Russian in a fight.
Topuria has even tried to wind Makhachev by claiming that Dagestanis cannot win hard fights.
Although 'El Matador' would be crazy about the competition, a former challenger of the world title would not do that.

Chael Sonnen does not want Ilia Topuria to fight Islam Makhachev
Although considered one of the best trash all time, Chael Sonnen is a bit tired of Ilia Topuria who ruthlessly chases Islam Makhachev.
In his opinion, the match-up makes little sense for the ruling lightweight king.
In a video elaborated into his YouTube channel, 'The American Gangster' explained: 'Why does Ilia Topuria shout the Islam Makhachev for the eighth time in nine days? There is something very unusual about Ilia Topuria that use these possibilities to stay on Islam.
“I can't start to believe that something is very special for Islam's fight that he has to fight against a 145-pounder. That would be a super fight, [but] It would not be special for Islam.
“He has already fought as a 145-ponder as a world champion, which was the ruling number one pound-for-pound.
“Charles Oliveira hates that fighting. Charles is not of the mentality of 'let's fight Islam'. Even if you go, go to a rematch. So there is just nothing wrong at 155. The same can be said for 145.

Ilia Topuria's next challenge is decided because two top candidates are booked to clash in April
Although Sonnen is not entirely certain about who could defend Topuria his title against the following, a recently announced match-up could change everything.
There is no doubt that the champion will watch the game, who places a thunderous puncher against a slick striker in a collision in a collision that seems intended to excite.
With the division without depth, the winner of the competition could very well get the next recording to Topuria.
