UFC fighters discuss weight classes and upcoming title bouts

UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has expressed doubts regarding Ilia Topuria’s ability to compete in the 155-pound division. Following Topuria’s loss to Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250, Gaethje suggested that Topuria is undersized for the weight class and would be more successful at featherweight, potentially challenging fighters like Alexander Volkanovski.

In a separate discussion regarding the women’s bantamweight division, former fighter Diana Belbita analyzed the upcoming title clash between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes at UFC 334. Belbita noted that Nunes’ success will depend on her ability to regain her former form after a three-year hiatus, while Harrison remains a dominant force. Belbita suggested that if Harrison is fully healthy, she has a significant chance to win, stating, “I think it’s Kayla’s time now.”
