Topuria was last seen in a first-round KO win over Charles Oliveira in their lightweight title match-up at UFC 317. Since then, the two division champions have been elevated to the No.1 pound-for-pound fighter in the promotion.

While it is yet unclear who he'd be facing for his first lightweight title defense, the 28-year-old's long-time rival, Paddy Pimblett, recently teased a potential fight between the pair.

During a recent interview on the Bebita YouTube channel, when the Scouser was asked how long he figures it'd take him to become a UFC champion, Pimblett said:

"Hopefully, [my] next fight, lad. [Any news?] No, just waiting on little Ilia [Topuria] to sign the contract. Sign the contract, big boy."

Furthermore, Dana White has named 'El Matador as a potential frontliner to headline the first big UFC Paramount card next year.
