Ilia
Topuria’s brother, Aleksandre
Topuria, is reportedly set to return to action in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship later this year.

The 30-year-old bantamweight is in talks to face Santiago
Luna at UFC Qatar
on Nov. 21 in Doha, according to Álvaro Colmenero.

Aleksandre Topuria is in talks to face Santiago Luna at UFC
Qatar

Aleksandre (7-1) hasn’t competed since defeating Bekzat
Almakhan by unanimous decision in November last year, which
marked his second UFC win. He hasn’t been active in recent years,
primarily focusing on coaching his brother Ilia, the former
featherweight and lightweight champion.

With Ilia having recently lost the lightweight title to Justin
Gaethje at
UFC Freedom 250 and set to return only next year, Aleksandre
will look to pick up his third Octagon victory in November. His
opponent, Luna (8-1), is 2-1 in the UFC and is coming off the lone
defeat of his professional career, a submission loss to Bryce
Mitchell this past June.

The only other rumored bout for the event is a middleweight clash
between Ikram
Aliskerov and former title challenger Jared
Cannonier.
