It will be a huge upset and a big joke if Maddalena beats or knocks out Islam 
I can predict that Topuria will quickly lose interest to him. That is why Topuria should start building a background story against lightweight contenders. He has already conflict against Peddy, but the rest of the division does not hate him yet
Btw, remember when people were hyping Mask vs Zuckerberg fight? Topuria and Tsarukyan are both rich or from rich families We might get mini version of rich vs rich fight
Jack Della Maddalena knocking out or just beating Islam is the worst possible scenario for Islam. I mean, he will be left without a belt and then imagine the bullying from Ilia Topuria when Islam starts begging for lightweight title. I can predict that Topuria will quickly lose interest to him. That is why Topuria should start building a background story against lightweight contenders. He has already conflict against Peddy, but the rest of the division does not hate him yet Btw, remember when people were hyping Mask vs Zuckerberg fight?

We might get mini version of rich vs rich fight Well, I do not dislike Makhachev. He really took a very risky step in his career but so did Topuria to be honest. Anyways, I would love to see Topuria VS Makhachev, either in Lightweight or Welterweight (but more likely in lightweight because welterweight sounds too brutal and unfair for someone as short as Topuria and as tall as Makhachev).
