UFC Champ Ilia Topuria, Younger Brother Take Polygraph Test Challenge



If a polygraph test is to be believed, Ilia Topuria might not be feeling as invincible as he claims to be.

Topuria recently entered a polygraph test challenge with his brother, recently signed UFC featherweight Aleksandre Topuria. The first question the featherweight champ asked Aleksandre was if he thinks he can win a potential matchup between the two.

“The question is quite deep. If you had to be my opponent one day, I would have no doubt that I would beat you,” Aleksandre answered on Ilia’s YouTube channel.

And the polygraph went green, signaling a correct answer. Aleksandre then asked Ilia if he has ever felt invincible enough to think that he can beat any UFC fighter.

“Have you ever felt so invincible that you thought you could beat any UFC fighter?” Aleksandre said.

“El Matador” answered in the affirmative, setting off red lights on the polygraph, signaling a lie. However, the Georgian-Spanish champ continued to insist that he has always felt invincible regardless of what the polygraph says.

“You have to check the polygraph again. No, but I don’t think so,” Ilia said. “I have always felt invincible. This [polygraph] can say whatever it wants to say.”



Younger than Ilia by a year, 27-year-old Aleksandre signed with the UFC last month and is yet to make his debut. Keeping up with the expectations of Topuria surname, “El Conquistador” has finished all five of his career wins in the very first round.

Meanwhile, elder brother Ilia has finished 13 of his 15 career wins so far, which includes seven UFC outings. “El Matador” most recently knocked out Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 this past February to be crowned the featherweight champ. Topuria is now scheduled to defend his strap against former champ and current BMF champ Max Holloway in the main event at UFC 308 on Oct. 26 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
