UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, who previously held the featherweight title, has announced his intention to secure a third title, despite having promised league officials not to discuss a move to the welterweight division.

On the verge of global stardom following his first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 last Saturday, Ilia Topuria accomplished a lot more in his vacant title bout at 155 pounds than becoming the first unbeaten two-division champion in promotional history.
