Although some believe that Ilia Topuria is too small for Islam Makhacehv, not everyone is of the same opinion, with one MMA star who claims that the Spanish georgian has what is needed to compete with the Russian.
The mega match-up between El Matador and the UFC Lightweight King just got a step closer.
Last night Dana White confirmed that Topuria had left his title to move to 155 pounds.
With that in mind, a confrontation between two of the best pound-for-pound hunters on the planet seems inevitable.

Terrance McKinney does not think that Ilia Topuria is too small to fight
On Fight Night, the world has looked full of awe, while Ilia Topuria has made some of the best featherweights on the planet unconscious with its thunderous power.
Although it is one thing that beats 145-ponders, it is a completely different boiler with fish that it does to light weights.
Terrance McKinney, however, has heard rumors that the sublime striker would have a chance to make the apple wagon upset and beat Islam Makhachev despite the size of the size.
In an interview with Inside Fighting, he explained: 'I heard that he turned out 170 pounds, so I don't think it really matters.
“I saw a small video clip – I forgot who sent it – but I had something like:” damn it, the boy is a wild one. “
“You must be able to cancel the wrestling [of Makhachev] And actually boxing good, what Ilia has. '

Although McKinney would like to see the pair of icons exchanged in the Achthoek, not everyone is too enthusiastic about the idea.
Some believe that the now formator featherweight title holder should not go behind another championship strap.
A former UFC World Title Challenger has even gone as far if the behavior of Topuria calls 'very unusual'.
