Ilia Topuria`s coach, Jesus Gallo, expressed confidence that his charge is capable of claiming two more championship belts in the UFC, in addition to his current featherweight title.
Gallo labeled this aspiration “absurdly realistic,” asserting his belief that it is improbable anyone other than Ilia possesses the capability to achieve such a feat.
Discussing the approach to preparation for potential moves up in weight class, the coach elaborated that they intend to increase the fighter`s body mass with great caution. The goal is to avoid any negative impact on Ilia`s existing skills. Gallo highlighted Ilia`s exceptional genetics, his high degree of professionalism regarding his physical condition and daily routines, and the strategic use of various modern devices that aid his preparation and recovery.
As a reminder, on June 28th, at the UFC 317 event, Topuria is scheduled to compete for the vacant lightweight title against Charles Oliveira.
