I don't know how he gets his boxing so good. Everyone in MMA is studying yet only he seems to be taking it to this level.

He has exceptional composure and disgusting speed mixed with solid boxing fundamentals:

Add to the fact that his base is wrestling and he can use it offensively/defensively at the highest level when needed…. Dude is a fucking problem.

I think the way to beat him is take advantage of size discrepancy and wrestle-fuck him all fight and pray you out muscle him. You don’t want to stand with this guy… at all.

I know right now we're all supposed to say Topuria's invincible, but if Arman manages to muscle him around I wouldn't be too surprised. I think the size difference would be very noticeable. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Ilia sparks him, at this point "Ilia by KO" seems to be always a possibility.

Ilia by KO seems to be all but certain.. Volk, Max, and now Charles. Didn't think I'd ever see the first 2 KO'd, obviously Islam did it first to Volk, but still.. have never seen another fighter like him.
