Ilia Topuria visade att han tillhör det absoluta toppskiktet av fjäderviktsklassen då han dominerade Josh Emmett i huvudmatchen på UFC on ABC 5.
”El Matador” Topuria förlängde därmed sin obesegrade vinstsvit till fjorton raka, varav sex av vinsterna kommit i UFC. Helgens vinst var dock utan tvekan den största i Topurias karriär. Ilia Topuria dominerade den forne titelutmanaren Emmett under fem ronder och tog slutligen hem ett enhälligt domslut med smått galna siffrorna 50–44, 50–42, 49–45.
Ilia Topuria levde upp till de stora förväntningar som satts på honom inför hans första huvudmatch, som gick av stapeln i Jacksonville, Florida i USA. Efter fjäderviktsmatchen kom båda fighters att hyllas för sina insatser, även om det fanns en hel del som tyckte att matchen hade kunnat stoppas tidigare då Topurias dominans satte sina tydliga spår i Emmetts ansikte.

Topuria drops Emmett in the second and Emmett’s face is starting to look like a mess. A measured Topuria in control through two rounds.

This young man has it. Boxing master class so far. Faints on point. Great work
— Paul Felder (@felderpaul) June 24, 2023
The difference in this fight is Emmett is just throwing hard to throw hard and touporia is calculating when he throws and seeing where he is throwing

However… Josh is one clean connection from destroying this man’s hype. Great main event

What a main event fight #UFCJacksonville
— Aleksandar Rakic (@rakic_ufc) June 24, 2023
Dr should probably stop this fight after third round over Emmett's eye, but this is MMA where fighter health is of little consequence, so it will go on…
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) June 24, 2023
Dude how is Emmett still standing? His face is a mess ?
— Funky ?????? (@Benaskren) June 24, 2023
There's no way both guys shouldn't go home with all their money. This main event is insane. They are putting on a show on ABC.
All main eventers should get all their money up front.
We still have 10 mins left! Whew! Today has been nuts.#UFCJacksonville
