Ilia Topuria claims he won't compete until Islam Makhachev agrees to fight him

Earlier this year, Ilia Topuria announced that he is vacating his featherweight championship in pursuit of lightweight gold. 'La Leyenda' is keen on fighting Islam Makhachev for the 155-pound championship.

While Makhachev's team has repeatedly claimed that the Georgian-Spaniard must beat a top-ranked lightweight to earn a title shot, Topuria isn't interested in a No.1 contender bout. During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the former featherweight champion said:

"I wouldn't fight for a number one contender fight. Yes [I would only fight for the title]. I don't care if Islam decides that he doesn't want to fight me. I don't care. I sit till you're gonna have to fight me. You say that you are the world champion, you're gonna keep dominating the division, I'm here. You can't keep avoiding me all the time.

He continued:

"I don't think they're going to put me on the sidelines. I vacated the belt because I told them I wouldn't fight at 145 [pound division] again. But, I get the promise that I will fight for the [lightweight] title in my next fight."
