Ilia Topuria has wasted no time in taking a shot at Islam Makhachev after the UFC lightweight champion confirmed his decision to vacate the title in pursuit of welterweight glory

The UFC is heading for a confusing place regarding International Fight Week. The annual marquee event generally features a huge main event, and many believed that a matchup between current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria would be that matchup.

A UFC legend does not see why Islam Makhachev would come back down to lightweight to fight Ilia Topuria, if he becomes champ at 170.
