UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, the Spanish fighter of Georgian descent, said that the date and opponent for his next title defense have not been decided.
Ilia Topuria, quoted by Bloody Elbow
Well, I have no idea at all (when I will defend my title). The truth is, we are in (negotiations). We are in the middle of negotiating everything, adjusting the schedule for the remaining part of the year or next year, so I can’t give you a specific answer. Tsarukyan, Gaethje, or Pimblett? At this time, none of them.
Topuria last fought Charles Oliveira in June at UFC 317, knocking him out in the first round to claim the UFC lightweight title. He is undefeated with a record of 17 wins and 0 losses.
