MMA record
Sherdog via Wikipedia infoboxThe story so far
Ilia Topuria carries a 17-1 MMA record into the UFC lightweight division, and the finish column explains why: eight submissions sit alongside seven knockouts. That split points to a fighter comfortable ending bouts on the mat or on the feet, with only two wins going to the judges. Spain is his listed nationality, and he competes at lightweight for Topuria Team.
He spent from 2012 to 2025 at Climent Club, then switched to Topuria Team, a camp change that runs alongside his UFC career. An Orthodox stance shapes his entries, and his listed reach is 69 inches. The Order of Honour sits among his achievements, and he is 29 years old. That switch is the only camp change listed, and it leads into the division where he competes.
