Ilia Topuria is crowned as the first Spaniard to conquer the UFC world title

Ilia Topuria has fulfilled his promise and has been crowned as the first Spaniard to conquer the UFC world title. In an event held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, Topuria managed to knock out Australian Alexander Volkanovski in the second round, solidifying his undefeated record and reaching the top of the featherweight division. With just seven fights in the UFC, this Spanish-Georgian fighter has managed to establish himself as a star in mixed martial arts in record time. Despite being considered the 'villain' by many, Topuria showed his composure and determination when facing the champion, showcasing his talent and skill in the octagon. The fight was marked by moments of tension and excitement, with Topuria maintaining his composure and looking for his opportunities to unsettle Volkanovski. It was in the second round when the Spanish-Georgian fighter unleashed a series of powerful right hands that culminated in a devastating blow to his opponent's chin, securing his victory and the title. After securing his place as champion, Topuria wasted no time and challenged Conor McGregor to a showdown in Spain, in what would be a historic event on Spanish soil. Additionally, the recently defeated Volkanovski also expressed interest in joining this possible bout. The proposal has generated anticipation in the world of mixed martial arts and could mark a milestone in Topuria's career as a UFC champion.
