The rivalry between Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev intensifies as Topuria transitions to lightweight, seeking an immediate title fight. Makhachev, currently planning to fight Jack Della Maddalena, has expressed reluctance to battle Topuria until he gains experience in the division. Topuria has aggressively challenged Makhachev, alleging cowardice for moving weight classes instead of proving himself. The context reveals ongoing tension as Makhachev defends his successful title reign while Topuria strives to prove his mettle against other competitors like Charles Oliveira for the vacant title.
