MMA fighters often boast about being the best, but Ilia Topuria recently made headlines for a different reason. Despite declaring he is “invincible” and could beat anyone, Topuria lied on a polygraph test. The undefeated featherweight champion, set to face Max Holloway at UFC 308, became the center of attention as fans found the polygraph incident quite amusing.
Topuria recently participated in a polygraph test challenge alongside his brother, newly signed UFC featherweight Aleksandre Topuria. When asked if he truly believed he could defeat any opponent, ‘El Matador’ answered confidently, but the polygraph results suggested he might have been dishonest. Regardless of the results, Topuria remains firm in his belief of invincibility, stating,
“I’ve always felt invincible. This [Polygraph] can say whatever it wants to say.”
Despite the doubts surrounding him, Topuria is determined to prove himself in the octagon. Having built an impressive record and defeated Alexander Volkanovski, ‘El Matador’ is now seeking new challenges. He will get the chance to display his skills against the legendary BMF champ Max Holloway at the upcoming UFC 308. Following a heated social media feud, fans are eagerly looking forward to this highly anticipated matchup.
