"He really is Conor 2.0" - Fans react to Ilia Topuria celebrating UFC 308 win over Max Holloway in nightclub

Ilia Topuria's UFC 308 triumph was followed by a stop at a nightclub, where the Spanish superstar celebrated his latest featherweight title defense. At the aforementioned event, he defeated Max Holloway in round three, becoming the first fighter in history to knock him out.

Afterward, he could be seen dancing behind a DJ booth in a nightclub. Moreover, 'El Matador' sang along to songs as he and his entourage celebrated his recent success. A clip of the moment has been circulating on social media, with a particular clip on X/Twitter drawing significant fan attention.

Check out Ilia Topuria's post-fight celebration:

One fan took the opportunity to compare Topuria to former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor.

"He really is Conor 2.0 just don't give him Coke yet"

Meanwhile, another fan joked that Topuria didn't celebrate as hard as McGregor often does.

"Nowhere near McGregor's level in this department yet"

Others, however, urged him to remain focused and not derail things by taking his celebrations too far.

"Please stay focused champ"

Some, though, opined that Topuria more than earned the right to celebrate, given his recent exploits in the octagon.

"We deserve this celebration"

Fan reactions to Ilia Topuria's partying

Following his back-to-back knockouts of Alexander Volkanovski and another featherweight great in Holloway, Topuria has enthroned himself as the division's most devastating striker. Now, he appears set to face Volkanovski in a rematch, that is, if 'The Great' doesn't take on Diego Lopes for interim gold first.

Topuria isn't keen on a quick turnaround, and Volkanovski is eager to fight at UFC 312, which will be held in Sydney, Australia.

Ilia Topuria drinks wine as a weight-cutting tactic

Fighters resort to countless measures to cut as much weight as possible, and Ilia Topuria is no different. The Spaniard takes it a step further, drinking wine to dehydrate himself and lose extra water weight. This enables him to hit the featherweight limit with relative ease.

"It's something that always worked for me every time that I cut weight."

Check out Ilia Topuria's wine-drinking method:

Curiously, he isn't the only fighter to drink wine for assistance. Paulo Costa once drank wine to help him fall asleep before a middleweight title fight with Israel Adesanya. Unfortunately, 'Borrachinha' blamed his subsequent TKO loss to Adesanya on the wine he drank.
