UFC matchmaker Arman has just confirmed that Ilia Topuria’s next opponent will be former Bellator champion Michael Chandler. In a brief interview with Yahoo Sports, Arman described Chandler as “easy” for the 23‑year‑old Georgian, citing his age and recent layoffs as key factors. Topuria, who has already made a name for himself in the light‑heavyweight division, is expected to step into the octagon with a seasoned veteran who has been on a long layoff. While the exact date and venue haven’t been announced, the matchup is generating buzz across Philadelphia’s MMA community, where fans are eager to see whether Topuria can turn Chandler’s experience into a decisive victory.
