Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier believes Ilia Topuria is a new breed of UFC superstar, but thinks he has one big threat ahead.

UFC Hall of Famer Cormier was in the commentary booth with Joe Rogan and Jon Anik as "El Matador" made history, and he struggles to see anyone who can touch him at 155 pounds outside of former champ Islam Makhachev, who is going for his own two-division title moment when he challenges Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight strap.

Ilia Topuria isn't just knocking out legends in the Octagon, he's giving the sport's best champions trouble in the training room. 'El Matador' is is reaching unmatched levels of success in the promotion after flatlining Charles Oliveira at UFC 317.

Ilia Topuria is considered one of the hardest punchers in the UFC right now, and his former training partner certainly agrees.

Ilia Topuria continued his ascension up the pound-for-pound ladder with a major statement via a vicious first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira to win the vacant lightweight championship at UFC 317
