Beavis and Butthead would have ripped this thing to shreds.
Ilia Topuria just got his own music video.
The reigning UFC featherweight champion can be seen boxing CGI creatures in a giant stadium while a mariachi band croons and two goofballs try to rap. I dunno if I’m too old or just too lame to understand what any of it means, but people in the YouTube comments seem to be enjoying it, judging by all the heart and fire emojis.
Watch the YouTube version here.
To be fair, I was super excited when boxing icon Mike Tyson got his own music video back in late 1989, courtesy of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, and I’m sure some crusty old boxing reporter was shaking his head like, “I don’t get it.”
Topuria, 27, has been enjoying the honeymoon phase of his title-winning performance over Alex Volkanovski at UFC 298 earlier this year in Anaheim and will eventually get back to work and defend his 145-pound strap. Nothing is official at this time, but Max Holloway appears to be the leading candidate after his blistering knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.
Unless “Blessed” can make this happen.
