Topuria honestly. If they were the same size I would put my house on Topuria.

After ufc 307 a lot of people pushed for pereira to be higher p4p than islam, after ufc 308 nobody says that anymore because they found their new hero: topuria, the fans are biased and just want someone to dethrone islam at all costs

Its Islam and it isnt even close. Islam is an elite level wrestler AND striker. Topuria’s striking is elite. His wrestling skills dont even come close to Islam’s.

The Arman fight is gonna make a lot of people realize how bad Islam’s striking is without takedown threat.

They're both some of the best fighters in the UFC. But looking at it from a perspective of pure skill, Islam definitely has the edge. Even against his featherweight opponents, Illia has been at a skill disadvantage on the feet. That's why he has been outstruck by both Volkanovski and Holloway. His specialty is in game planning, set-ups, and most importantly, power. If this was a quantification of only boxing skill, Illia beat everyone in the UFC except Petr Yan. But it's not, and Islam is better (whether marginally or significantly) everywhere else.

Topuria is just a boxer, Islam is a versatile striker thai clinch, Taekwando, counter striking. Islam is also a proven better grappler we have yet to see Topuria submit someone great like Oliviera, Poirier, Moises, or ragdoll someone like Arman

Illia is so good it's shocking he fights like a movie or someone imagination his will to win his power but I am DONE doubting islam the diamond couldn't break him he feared not the ground threat of do Bronx and how he walked through volkanovski in the second fight

I think Ilia has better striking but Islam has better wrestling. Their bjj is comparable. I’d say even. Islam has better iq but Ilia has insane power

Islam's wrestling is so good that he can possess his opponent's striking. And it always feels like his opponent is not using his striking at full potential.

They are both top 5 most skilled fighters to ever compete in the UFC, but I believe Islam is more skilled
