Ilia Topuria was born on January 21, 1997, in Halle, Westfalen, Germany, and is a former UFC featherweight champion, with expertise in both striking and ground game. Topuria started his journey in martial arts by beginning to train in Greco-Roman wrestling at seven and later followed it up with mixed martial arts when he moved to Spain at age 15. Topuria turned professional in 2015 and quickly racked up a slew of submission wins that showcased his skills on the mat. Following the perfect regional record, he made a name for himself in organizations such as Brave CF and Cage Warriors.

Topuria’s UFC debut came in 2020 when he took a short-notice fight against Youssef Zalal and defeated him by unanimous decision, announcing his arrival in the promotion. Since then, Topuria has solidified himself as a top contender at featherweight with notable wins against Ryan Hall, Jai Herbert, Bryce Mitchell, and Josh Emmett. His win over Emmett in 2023 positioned him to get a title shot against the former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 on October 26, 2024. Topuria won the bout via a second-round KO and made his first title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 308 on October 26, 2024.
