Elite resume. Beat Alex Volkanovski when they were #1 and #2 P4P.br Why he's #1:br br Dominated Jack Della Maddalena for 25 minutes at 170br Beat Volk (then P4P #1)br If everyone was the same weight, Makhachev is suplexing everyonebr Him and Khamzat would dominate with wrestlinggrapplingbr That good.br br #2: ILIA TOPURIAbr In almost ANY other era, Topuria's resume would have him at #1.br The Topuria Case:br br Dominance in TWO weight classesbr Elite level victoriesbr Spectacular finishesbr Undefeatedbr br Why he's #2: He has to be because Makhachev's resume + two-division status is just slightly better.
