UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria isn't impressed with Islam Makhachev's legacy-defining night. At UFC 322, Makhachev became a two-division champion and tied a long-standing UFC record by beating Jack Della Maddalena. Topuria doesn't see it that way.
Topuria only saw one boring champion and another disappointing one. Shortly after Saturday's main event concluded, Topuria condemned Makhachev's performance as dull. Where many, including UFC CEO Dana White, celebrated Makhachev's grappling dominance as a sign of his greatness, Topuria was more confident than ever about shutting off the new welterweight champion.
"Islam, you need something you can't train: emotion. You're the most boring thing in this game," Topuria wrote on Twitter. "Every day, I'm more certain I put you to sleep."
