UFC star Ilia Topuria could bring the organisation to Spain if he secures himself a top five ranking by beating Josh Emmett.
Topuria, 26, looks to keep his unbeaten record intact when he takes on former interim title challenger Emmett in the main event of UFC Jacksonville this Saturday. 'El Matador' is currently on a four-fight winning streak with all of those wins coming by stoppage, the latest being a second-round submission against Bryce Mitchell last December.
Since signing with the UFC in 2020, it's been a goal of Topuria's to bring the UFC to Spain as the promotion is yet to host an event in the country. Topuria revealed that UFC boss Dana White has promised him they will hold an event in Spain if he can break into the top five at featherweight.
