Ilia Topuria resumes training in Georgia ahead of UFC return

UFC fighter Ilia Topuria has shared updates from his training sessions in Georgia, signaling his preparation for a return to the octagon. The Spanish-Georgian athlete posted videos and photos on social media showcasing his work in striking, gym conditioning, and grappling alongside professional boxer Lasha Guruli.

While Topuria’s next opponent remains unconfirmed, speculation surrounds potential matchups. Following recent comments from lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, who suggested Arman Tsarukyan deserves a title opportunity, Paddy Pimblett has emerged as a highly anticipated alternative due to a long-standing rivalry between him and Topuria.
