Two division champion Ilia Topuria sets UFC milestone untouched by even the likes of Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, and other MMA greats

Ilia Topuria has accomplished an incredible feat by becoming a two-division champion with a spotless record, something that has not been done previously by prominent mixed martial arts legends such as Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, and many others. Topuria's strong determination caught the attention of the entire combat sports community, who praised him for his recent performance.

Topuria made his octagon return to face former champion Charles OIiveira for the vacant lightweight strap in the main event of UFC 317 on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. He gave away his featherweight belt earlier this year and moved up to pursue his dream of becoming a double champion, which he achieved by defeating Oliveira in devastating fashion.

Topuria extended his undefeated run to 17 fights on Saturday. He also became the 10th UFC fighter to win titles in two divisions. Notably, the 28-year-old pulled it off by remaining unbeaten in his professional career. Jones, McGregor, Amanda Nunes, Alex Pereira, and many others are among the other nine double champions in promotion history. However, none of them were undefeated when they won their second belt.

'El Matador', confident on the strong power in his hands, did what he envisioned. He quickly dispatched of Oliveira at the 2:27 mark of the opening round with a vicious right-left combination that left 'do Bronx' flat on the ground.

Topuria's power drew applause from UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen, who expressed his admiration in ESPN MMA's post-fight show. Sonnen likened him to boxing legend Mike Tyson, saying:

''I've seen jabs and crosses. I've seen hooks, it just turns out there is a power that is almost unspeakable, I got to go back to Iron Mike Tyson quite frankly.''
