Ilia Topuria, quoted by MMA Mania
I do not have an exact date when everything will be fixed. I hope that as soon as possible, as soon as it’s solved, I’ll be ready to go back in the Octagon. I prioritize at this time the welfare of my family, of my children. So as soon as everything is solved I will be back to the Octagon and will give it all, the show that everyone deserves.
Topuria last fought in June 2025 at UFC 317, defeating Charles Oliveira by knockout in the first round. His professional record stands at 17 wins and no losses.
