Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion in two weight classes and now a commentator, shared his thoughts on the financial background of Ilia Topuria, the current lightweight champion. Cormier pointed out that Topuria comes from an affluent family and was already wealthy before his career in the UFC.
Drawing a parallel, he also described Arman Tsarukyan as wealthy. Cormier expressed his surprise at the prospect of two fighters, whom he believes achieved their wealth independently rather than through fighting, potentially competing for the UFC championship belt. He commented that it seems quite unusual for the fate of the title to be decided in such a matchup.
