After an impressive dominance with few errors, he defeated Emmett and is now prepared to pursue greatness.
Emmett was sure of the outcome, but it didn’t happen. With its triumph, Illia Topuria made a strong statement.

Topuria picked up the tempo in the fourth round following a series of defensive techniques and long-range attacks. Emmett was sent to the ground by a tremendous strike he landed that included an uppercut and a hook. A knockout was almost the outcome of this.
Only the bell’s ringing gave Emmett momentary relief once Illia Topuria took control. Emmett used all the power he had left in his hands for one last onslaught, knowing that only a miracle could rescue him.
Topuria, though, kept his composure while deftly dodging and retaliating.
He then quickly moved to the ground, seizing a firm hold on Emmett, exerting pressure, and starting groundwork, even if he didn’t fully lock in the submission when the chance presented itself.
Topuria wasn’t looking for a knockdown, but it was still sending a message. Emmett was only saved from more torture by the bell.
Topuria won with unanimity scores of 50-44, 50-42, and 49-45.
Following that, Topuria discussed his potential and urged Volkanovski to fight.
“I want Volkanovski to defend his belt and come face to face with me.” “His reign has ended, and mine is just beginning.”
