Ilia Topuria’s next opponent and return date have not been confirmed by the UFC.

“El Matador” called for another fight with Justin Gaethje after losing the lightweight title at UFC Freedom 250. Gaethje has played down the prospect of an immediate rematch, leaving Topuria’s route back to a championship fight unclear.

A long-discussed meeting with Paddy Pimblett would bring together two of the division’s most recognisable personalities. Their rivalry stretches back several years, and Pimblett’s victory over Benoit Saint Denis has moved him closer to the top of the lightweight rankings.

Topuria could instead return against another ranked contender before attempting to regain the belt. Until the UFC makes an announcement, however, every proposed opponent remains speculative.

This page will be updated with the fight date, venue and Ilia Topuria next fight odds once his return becomes official.

Ilia Topuria lost to Justin Gaethje by fourth-round TKO at UFC Freedom 250 on 14 June 2026.

Topuria entered the contest as the undisputed lightweight champion and had strong moments during the opening half of the fight. Gaethje gradually took control, landing repeatedly as swelling developed around Topuria’s eyes.

A doctor examined Topuria between the third and fourth rounds but initially allowed the contest to continue. After another punishing five minutes, his corner decided not to send him out for the final round. The official result was recorded as a corner stoppage at 5:00 of round four.

The defeat ended Topuria’s 17-fight unbeaten start to his professional career and brought his lightweight title reign to a close. It was also the first time he had been stopped in MMA.

Ilia Topuria has a professional MMA record of 17 wins and one defeat. Seven victories have come by knockout or TKO, eight by submission and two on the judges’ scorecards. His UFC record stands at nine wins and one loss.

Born in Halle, Germany, on 21 January 1997, Topuria is 29 years old and represents both Spain and Georgia. He spent part of his childhood in Georgia before moving to Alicante, where he began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts.

Topuria stands 5ft 7in tall, has a 69-inch reach and fights from an orthodox stance. Although widely known for his boxing power, he is also a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with eight professional submission victories.

He made his professional debut in April 2015 and built an 8–0 record across Spain, Finland, Belgium and Bahrain before joining the UFC in 2020. Victories over Josh Emmett, Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira eventually carried him to championships in two different weight divisions.

Fifteen of Topuria’s 17 victories have ended before the final bell. His record includes 10 first-round finishes, although five of his most recent six contests have progressed beyond the opening round.

The table below contains every professional fight of Ilia Topuria’s MMA career:

Topuria won his first 17 professional fights, including nine consecutive UFC appearances. Gaethje remains the only opponent to defeat him in professional MMA.

Ilia Topuria currently competes in the UFC lightweight division.

The championship limit for a lightweight contest is 155lb. A one-pound allowance normally applies to non-title fights, allowing competitors to weigh up to 156lb.

Topuria spent most of his early UFC career at featherweight, where the championship limit is 145lb. He did move up to lightweight for his 2022 fight with Jai Herbert, but returned to featherweight for his following contests.

After defending the featherweight championship against Max Holloway, Topuria vacated the belt and moved to lightweight permanently. He then knocked out Charles Oliveira to win the vacant 155lb championship at UFC 317.

Whether he remains at lightweight following the loss to Gaethje will become clearer when his next fight is announced.

Ilia Topuria has won UFC championships at featherweight and lightweight.

He first captured the featherweight title by knocking out Alexander Volkanovski in the second round at UFC 298. The victory ended Volkanovski’s long reign at the top of the division.

Topuria defended the belt against Max Holloway at UFC 308, becoming the first fighter to knock Holloway out. Rather than remain at featherweight, he later vacated the championship and moved up to 155lb.

His first permanent appearance in the higher division came against Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title. Topuria won by first-round knockout, adding a second UFC championship to his career.

He did not hold both belts simultaneously because the featherweight title had already been vacated. His lightweight reign ended when Gaethje defeated him at UFC Freedom 250.

Available Ilia Topuria betting markets will depend on his opponent, the event and whether the contest is scheduled for three or five rounds.

Fight Winner

The fight-winner market involves selecting which competitor will have their hand raised.

Topuria has won 17 of his 18 professional contests, including nine UFC fights. That record offers useful background, but it cannot guarantee the outcome of his next appearance.

Method of Victory

Method-of-victory betting combines the winning fighter with the way the contest ends. Potential selections include Ilia Topuria by KO or TKO, Topuria by submission and Topuria by decision.

Topuria has produced seven knockout victories and eight submissions. The relevant matchup still matters, particularly when considering the opponent’s striking defence, grappling ability and previous defeats.

Round Betting

This market asks customers to predict the round in which the fight will end.

Ten of Topuria’s professional wins have come in the opening round. His UFC title victories over Volkanovski and Holloway took place in rounds two and three, while his contest with Gaethje reached the end of round four.

Past results can help describe a fighter’s career, but they do not reveal when a future bout will finish.

Total Rounds

Total-round markets ask whether the fight will last longer or shorter than a displayed line.

A standard UFC contest lasts three rounds, while main events and championship fights are normally scheduled for five. The available total may therefore change depending on Topuria’s position on the card.

Fight to Go the Distance

This is a yes-or-no market on whether the contest reaches the final judges’ scorecards.

Only two of Topuria’s 18 professional fights have gone the full distance. He defeated Youssef Zalal across three rounds and Josh Emmett across five.

Same Game Multi

Where available, a Same Game Multi allows compatible selections from the same fight to be combined. These could include the winner, method of victory and total-round markets.

Each selection adds another condition to the bet. The entire combination must be correct for the wager to win.
