Salahdine Parnasse targets former UFC champion Ilia Topuria

Salahdine Parnasse has wasted no time getting the attention of the big-name talent in his division since arriving in the UFC.

The Frenchman entered the octagon with a lot of hype around his name. Considered one of the best fighters in the world not fighting under the UFC banner at the time, his debut came with much expectation. The 28-year-old lived up to the hype. It took Parnasse half a round to finish the tough, well-traveled Dan Hooker. Showing a lack of fear and comfort under the bright lights, Parnasse dismantled Hooker. It was a performance dreams are made of, but the lightweight isn't satisfied just yet.
