Victory over Holloway is a bellwether: Topuria is a cool striker – ACA champion Goncharov

Russian ACA featherweight champion Magomedrasul Khasbulaev spoke about the victory of Georgian Ilia Topuria over American Bryce Mitchell at a UFC tournament in Las Vegas.

“He kills the guys in his weight class, he fights well. In terms of wrestling and movement — yes, he has a lack of experience. But in striking! How he shifts from rack to rack, how he disguises his punches – that's cool. It seems to me that in terms of striking, he is now one of the best in this weight category,” Khasbulaev said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Red Corner MMA.”

Recall that at the UFC Fight Night 219 tournament, which was held on the night of November 6-7 in Las Vegas, Georgian Ilia Topuria defeated American Bryce Mitchell by submission (rear naked choke) in the second round.

Topuria has 13 wins and no losses in MMA, including 5 wins in the UFC. Mitchell has 15 wins and three losses, including two losses in the UFC.
