Arman Tsarukyan thinks Ilia Topuria would be a stellar addition to the UFC lightweight division.
Ahead of Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) challenging Islam Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) for the 155-pound title in the UFC 311 headliner on Jan. 18 in Inglewood, Calif. (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+), reigning featherweight champ Topuria has teased a change in division.
Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) changing weight classes seems like it could be an inevitability in his career, but the questions persist about whether it will happen in the short term or the long term.
