Ilia Topuria Shares Savage Take After UFC 322

That champion was Ilia Topuria. Never one to stay quiet during a major moment, the lightweight king delivered a brutal message on social media that immediately lit up the post-fight conversation. Topuria didn’t hold back, firing shots at both fighters involved in the UFC 322 main event.

In his post, Topuria wrote:
‘Jack needs an entire camp dedicated just to wrestling. What a disappointment of a champion. You should go to Georgia to learn something. Islam, you need something you can’t train: emotion. You’re the most boring thing in this game. Every day I’m more certain I put you to sleep.’

With that, the rivalry between Topuria and Makachev just reached a new level. What began as competitive banter has evolved into full-on tension, with each side trading sharper and more pointed messages as their paths continue to converge. And while we don’t know what’s next for Topuria just yet, all eyes will be on his upcoming challenge—with fans hoping the two champions eventually meet in the near future.

With Islam’s latest victory, he now dethrones Ilia in the pound-for-pound rankings, becoming the new No. 1 fighter in the sport, which only adds more intrigue to a potential matchup between the two.
