UFC Fighter Chikadze Suggests Topurias Next Matchup in Lightweight Division

Georgian UFC fighter **Giga Chikadze** expressed his views on his compatriot **Ilia Topuria** moving to the lightweight division (up to 70 kg).

«I’d love to see a match between Islam Makhachev and Topuria. That would be the biggest fight right now. However, if that doesn’t happen, a fight between Charles Oliveira and Ilia would be absolutely amazing.

The International Fight Week is one of the biggest events of the year, and a bout between Oliveira and Topuria could potentially headline the tournament,» Chikadze stated at the press conference.

Previously, former UFC title contender and now an analyst, Chael Sonnen, shared his thoughts on Makhachev’s next opponent.

Makhachev is currently attempting to choke out Topuria’s former sparring partner.
