Ilia Topuria Aims for UFC Lightweight Return in 6‑8 Weeks
Ilia Topuria suffered an orbital fracture and a nasal septum break in his UFC fight against Justin Gaethje. Neither injury required surgery, and medical staff estimate a six‑to‑eight‑week recovery period.
His strength and conditioning coach Jesús Gallo reported that the healing process is progressing smoothly and that Topuria will soon resume training. A swift return would allow the Georgian star to target his next lightweight contest in the coming months.
