Undefeated UFC featherweight contender Ilia Topuria has entered the Conor McGregor sweepstakes, offering to fight “Notorious” next year in Spain.
McGregor, who hasn’t competed since a loss to Dustin Poirier back in 2021, is finally gearing up for his Octagon return in 2024. In fact, the former UFC double champion teased a special announcement for New Years Day to confirm his next opponent and official return date.

Of course, Topuria is expected to fight Alexander Volkanovski for the undisputed UFC featherweight title at UFC 298 this coming February. Topuria has produced a 6-0 record since entering UFC back in 2020 and will have his chance to knock off the featherweight champion and solidify himself as the next big star for the promotion.
If Topuria is able to defeat Volkanovski next year then there may be a chance he scores a matchup with McGregor somewhere down the road.
