ILIA TOPURIA

Ilia Topuria sits calmly, next to him nothing but a bottle of water, he speaks slowly, he is a German shepherd in that calm before the storm. Exude confidence. He seems like a man at peace but he is not, it is impossible to be at peace in his sport - MMA (mixed martial arts, where two fighters lock themselves in an octagon for twenty-five endless minutes) are the most dangerous discipline on the planet. In just a few days the most important fight of his career will take place in the hottest competition in the fighting ecosystem: Dana White's UFC. Joshua Emmett is waiting for him, he looks like a Viking straight out of God of War but what's up, he's just a man, he was born in Phoenix, he likes sushi. I would not like to be in her skin.
