Topuria is the embodiment of Mike Tyson

Ilia Topuria is redefining dominance in the octagon.

Topuria is more than just a good fighter. He is a phenomenon. Every time he steps into the ring, “El Matador” doesn’t just compete – he destroys. With each thunderous punch, the Spanish-Georgian fighter rewrites the definition of dominance in the world of MMA.

17 fights, 17 wins, no one standing. And the three names he knocked down most recently - Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira - were not amateurs. They were three living legends of the UFC. Now, all of them were lying in Topuria's path.

Volkanovski and Holloway fell in their featherweight title fights. Oliveira, once the “lightweight king,” lasted less than three minutes in the “main event” in Las Vegas on the morning of June 29. The result: Topuria won the lightweight belt and joined the legendary group of fighters who have won championships in two different weight classes – a list that can be counted on one hand in UFC history.

But what was so astonishing was not just that he won, but how he did it: clean, cool, decisive—like a new-generation Mike Tyson. Because like Tyson in his prime, Topuria didn’t fight to win on points. He went into the ring to destroy his opponent. He didn’t need a third round. Topuria’s hands were like two bombs that could explode at any moment.

But unlike other fighters who rely on strength, Topuria also fights with his mind. He is intelligent, calm and disciplined. It is this combination - killer instinct and rigorous training - that creates the perfect fighting machine.

Ilia Topuria is more than just a good fighter. He is a phenomenon.

In front of 20,000 American spectators in Las Vegas, everyone was waiting for the moment when Topuria would fall. But they were the last to be silent. His arrogance and his brash statements made many people uncomfortable. But when the ring closed, no one could deny: Topuria was a true champion.

Even those who don't love MMA have to admit: we're witnessing something very special. A legend is being molded right before our eyes.

Each knockout is not just a victory, but a new chapter in the story that Topuria is writing. He may appear invincible, but after the performance, he said: “I can be beaten. That's why I work hard every day.”

That statement may not appease critics. But it reflects the true nature of a champion: not perfection, but the spirit of constant improvement.

Topuria is not just any boxer. He is the new embodiment of power, confidence and warrior spirit - the Mike Tyson of the UFC - continuing his own legend. And the world will remember the name Ilia Topuria for a long time.
