If a polygraph test is to be believed, Ilia
Topuria might not be feeling as invincible as he claims to
be.

Topuria recently entered a polygraph test challenge with his
brother, recently signed
UFC featherweight Aleksandre
Topuria. The first question the featherweight champ asked
Aleksandre was if he thinks he can win a potential matchup between
the two.

“The question is quite deep. If you had to be my opponent one day,
I would have no doubt that I would beat you,” Aleksandre answered
on Ilia’s YouTube channel.

And the polygraph went green, signaling a correct answer.
Aleksandre then asked Ilia if he has ever felt invincible enough to
think that he can beat any UFC fighter.

“Have you ever felt so invincible that you thought you could beat
any UFC fighter?” Aleksandre said.

“El Matador” answered in the affirmative, setting off red lights on
the polygraph, signaling a lie. However, the Georgian-Spanish champ
continued to insist that he has always felt invincible regardless
of what the polygraph says.

“You have to check the polygraph again. No, but I don’t think so,”
Ilia said. “I have always felt invincible. This [polygraph] can say
whatever it wants to say.”

Younger than Ilia by a year, 27-year-old Aleksandre signed with the
UFC last month and is yet to make his debut. Keeping up with the
expectations of Topuria surname, “El Conquistador” has finished all
five of his career wins in the very first round.

Meanwhile, elder brother Ilia has finished 13 of his 15 career wins
so far, which includes seven UFC outings. “El Matador” most
recently knocked out Alexander
Volkanovski at UFC 298 this past February to be crowned the
featherweight champ. Topuria is now scheduled to defend his strap
against former champ and current BMF champ Max
Holloway in the main event at UFC 308
on Oct. 26 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
