Jorge Masvidal believes Ilia Topuria is on a different level than Justin Gaethje.
Interim lightweight champion Gaethje will challenge the champion Topuria in a title unifier in the main event at UFC White House on June 14. A former training partner of Topuria, Masvidal has always lauded the undefeated Georgian-Spaniard’s skillset and power. Masvidal believes “El Matador” will hand Gaethje a beating that he won’t be able to recover from. “Gamebred” predicts that Topuria will retire Gaethje at the White House in June.
Ilia Flatlines Him
“I think Ilia does Gaethje worse… I’ve trained with Ilia plenty,” Masvidal said on the "Death Row MMA” podcast.
