When Ilia Topuria explained why he would beat prime Conor McGregor

Ilia Topuria currently holds the UFC lightweight title, and prior to this, he was the champion of the featherweight division. With an unbeaten record, Topuria is considered one of the top names in MMA.

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor was the first fighter to achieve the status of UFC double champion by simultaneously holding both the featherweight and lightweight belts.

A few months ago, during a press conference in Spain, 'El Matador' previewed a potential matchup against a prime McGregor, saying:

"Without a doubt [I’d beat McGregor]. The sport evolves every year. It’s constantly evolving. It’s like comparing a football star from the '80s or '90s to today’s game. Would they shine? Maybe, but I think there are better players now" [H/t: ChampRDS on X]
