Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
Ilia Topuria says he no longer needs to fight for money after his last fight:
"For the first time in my life, I'm going to step into the octagon where my life doesn't depend on what happens in there.
Thank God for giving me the stability where neither I nor my children will ever lack anything... So now you're going to see a different Ilia.
You're going to see El Matador, not at 100% but at 200%, someone who truly enjoys the art. If I was dangerous before, now I'm extremely dangerous." 👀
