UFC 270, which happens next year, has an exciting fight coming up. Movsar Evloev versus Ilia Topuria is finally going to happen.
Evloev has a fascinating MMA record of 15 wins and 0 losses. The fighter started his UFC career back in 2019 and has remained undefeated ever since. He is the former M-1 bantamweight champion. Evloev’s last fight was against Hakeem Dawodu at UFC 263. The Russian fighter won through a unanimous decision.
On the other hand, Ilia Topuri has a great MMA record of 11 wins and 0 losses. Like Evloev, Topuri too is undefeated. Topuri started his UFC career in 2020. His last fight was against Ryan Hall and he won through a KO. However, Topuria never got the opportunity to fight for the title. Perhaps defeating Evloev would help people see his potential and boost the likelihood of him getting the opportunity soon.
