Arman Tsarukyan describes Ilia Topuria as a different kind of fighter who evolved from wrestling to boxing, now focusing primarily on his boxing skills. Tsarukyan believes Topuria avoids wrestling and kicking, concentrating on boxing exchanges. He feels this style is manageable for him due to his strong kicking game and wrestling ability, allowing him to control the distance or clinch. Tsarukyan predicts Topuria might vacate the title after a defense if he faces tough challenges, suggesting that Topuria's team might prefer easier matchups against aging fighters with questionable chins.
