Ilia Topuria\u2019s sparring footage stories are making the Justin Gaethje fight look ugly already. The UFC lightweight title will be unified when Topuria takes on Gaethje in the main event of the historic UFC White House card. The event, which tallies with President Donald Trump\u2019s 80th birthday, hosts some of the biggest names in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With only weeks to the title fight, Topuria is ramping up preparation, and he\u2019s apparently leaving quite a mark during his training camp. This footage has sparked widespread attention across the MMA world, with sparring partners and fans increasingly anticipating an ugly fight.<\/p>\n
What Ilia Topuria\u2019s sparring partners think about his UFC White House fight<\/p>\n
Some of Topuria\u2019s sparring partners recently spoke about the pressure from his fist during training. The video, which Topuria shared via his social media handles, has a partner predicting the outcome of Topuria\u2019s UFC clash against Gaethje.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, this isn\u2019t the first time his sparring partners have publicly spoken about his tough preparation. Last month, his partner publicly asked Topuria to slow down during a training session. New footage similarly has a couple of his sparring partners describing his toughness again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had the opportunity to feel the power of his fist. My liver is fucked up after the session. All the time I felt the pressure from Ilia, I think he finishes [Gaethje] in the first round.\u201d<\/p>\n
