UFC featherweight champ Ilia Topuria knocked out two of the UFC 's three greatest fighters in one calendar year .

Topuria is MMA Junkie’s 2024 Male Fighter of the Year.

The 27-year-old knocked out then-featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski and former champion Max Holloway in back-to-back fights.

Alex Pereira defended the UFC light heavyweight championship in a span of six months from April to October .

He did this under less-than-ideal circumstances as he repeatedly saved the promotion by accepting these title fights on short notice.

If not for the quality of Topuria ’s two victories, Pereira would’ve been the clear choice for Male Fighter of the Year.
