The Ilia Topuria fever has reached a new stage. The Spaniard has been on cloud nine ever since he became the UFC Featherweight Champion. In the last few weeks, the Spanish PM granted him citizenship, and he got mobbed by fans everywhere he went. Spain has gone into a Topuria fever with the champion receiving a lot of support. However, it went to the next level when an enthusiastic couple named their child after the champion.

The pair then got the opportunity to meet Ilia Topuria and showed him their son’s birth certificate. Although Topuria was grateful for the gesture, MMA fans did not hold back.

Gilbert Burns reveals the reason why he ‘knew’ Ilia Topuria would knock out Alexander Volkanovski

Ilia Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in the second round with a nasty right hook. The knockout did not come as a surprise to Gilbert Burns.

In an interview with Luke Thomas, the Brazilian revealed that he had seen the Spaniard do similar things to his teammates:

“This guy came here to the gym, he did half of his camp against Josh Emmett here and he knocked out three of my teammates, out, not down, with the big gloves.”

Gilbert Burns saw Ilia Topuria knock out three of his teammates with big gloves. He also saw the Spaniard take down a high-level wrestler from Dagestan.

All these factors combined made Burns think that the Spaniard would one day become champion. ‘Durinho’ claims Topuria can ‘do it all’.
