Topuria: "Khabib's style is not entertaining"

One of the well-known fighters in the UFC lightweight division, Ilya Topuria, recently attracted attention again with his opinions. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This athlete of Spanish and Georgian roots expressed his views on the fighting style of former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. Topuria considered Khabib's style not very entertaining and emphasized that the interest in his fights was mainly due to his undefeated streak.
According to Topuria, it was Khabib's level of invincibility rather than his technique or style that attracted most people. Because fans were more interested in the question, "Can anyone defeat him?"
This situation is rare in sports, but Nurmagomedov's aura and undefeated status made him a particularly interesting figure. At the same time, Topuria openly admitted that he has never been a fan of Khabib's style.
In his opinion, Nurmagomedov's fights stood out mainly for the results and statistics, while entertainment was secondary. Of course, such opinions may not please everyone.
Because many of Khabib's fans consider his wrestling dominance and ability to control opponents as his main strengths. However, Topuria clearly and openly expressed his point of view.
Such statements naturally cause ongoing debates in the UFC world. After all, Khabib Nurmagomedov has secured his place in history as one of the strongest fighters in the lightweight division.
Any discussion about his undefeated career and achievements in the sport undoubtedly arouses great interest. In conclusion, Topuria's opinions once again showed that in the MMA world, not only victory but also fighting style remains an important topic.
Some prioritize the result first, while others value entertainment. Khabib stands at the crossroads of these two approaches and has always been one of the fighters who sparked debates.
