Video: Ilia Topuria’s win over Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 has fans wondering—are we witnessing the greatest UFC run of all time? DC & Chael Sonnen debate Topuria’s legacy, Paddy Pimblett rumors, and Alexandre Pantoja's reign on Good Guy / Bad Guy.

Ilia Topuria just added a massive name to his résumé — knocking out former champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 to claim the vacant UFC lightweight title. But beyond the belt, fans and analysts are asking the same thing: is this the most dominant rise in modern MMA history?

In this full episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy, Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen break down Topuria’s streak and how it stacks up against all-time greats like Khabib Nurmagomedov. Could Topuria surpass the legends, or is it too soon to say?

The conversation heats up with fantasy matchups—Islam Makhachev, Conor McGregor, and even Paddy Pimblett all get thrown into the mix. Is a Pimblett title shot actually on the horizon, or just hype?

Also in the spotlight: flyweight champ Alexandre Pantoja, fresh off a dominant win over Kai Kara-France. Is surging contender Joshua Van the man to finally test Pantoja’s reign?

From title pictures to pound-for-pound debates, this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy delivers bold takes and real fight talk for die-hard UFC fans.
