Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion, expressed his firm belief that the current lightweight titleholder, Islam Makhachev, does not feel any apprehension towards featherweight contender Ilia Topuria.
Cormier noted the recent surge in discussion surrounding Ilia Topuria, highlighting Topuria`s vocal ambition for a title shot. Topuria has reportedly focused his training with the goal of potentially facing either Islam Makhachev or Charles Oliveira. While acknowledging Topuria as “a great guy,” Cormier stated his disagreement with the idea of Topuria challenging Islam, reiterating his conviction that Makhachev “has no fear of him.”
