For two months now, there is no one who does not know the name of Ilia Topuria. The Hispanic-Georgian fighter has gone from being the great promise of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) to becoming champion of the featherweight category two months ago. At only 26 years old, the mixed martial arts fighter has become one of the great promises of fighting.
Initiated at a very young age in the world of martial arts, his followers know that thanks to his skill, ability and talent he remains undefeated in his category. Now, what they did not count on was his role as an actor, and not just any project, but that he has dared to play a role in the song that the singers Saiko and Omar Montes dedicated precisely to him.
The song in question is I dreamed it, and it is a song that has gone viral just after the Hispanic-Georgian champion confirmed that the previous champion of the category, the American Max Holloway, will be his next rival in the octagon.
Granada-born Saiko, one of the best-known names in Spanish urban music today, joins his friend Omar Montes for the song dedicated to Ilia Topuria; but what no one expected was that the martial arts fighter himself would be the protagonist of the music video that accompanies the song.
Only 24 hours and more than half a million views for a song that begins by sampling the well-known Mariachi Song by Antonio Banderas and Los Lobos with the voice of Omar Montes and a mariachi band; for Saiko to tell why she has Ilia Topuria as an inspiration.
"I dreamed about it, whether I wanted to or not, since I was a child in the quarry/When the teachers laughed at me for not having a future at school/When the only thing that mattered was that the pirate Spoti was/It fills me to see their looks of fury, I trust myself like Ilia Topuria," she sings.
At only 21 years old, Saiko has the world in his hands, and like Topuria, he feels like a winner thanks to hard work and self-confidence. "I feel like El Matador, I take care of mine, my family," sings Omar Montes, who adds: "I always keep my word, I don't carry envy/Pride of where I come from, I can never forget it."
His followers have no doubt that the song is headed to success: "Tremendous." "This album is going to be number one in Spain." "Authentic music, you are an inspiration," says another. "I'm very happy that the two of you are breaking it, with work and perseverance you can get to where you have arrived. The admirable thing is that you are street-wise and humble guys."
