Tatoo111. good day. (1) The source you provided stating he raised Georgian flag but this does not mean he is a Georgian as many mma fighters do raised other countries' flags during the actual weight in or ceremony weight in or hang the flags in the octagon or during post fight invterview. (Note: He was born in Germany as per source). (2) As per your edit summary, you stated he parents are Georgian, that does not make him a Georgian citizen. If If you can find independent, relaible sources such as from the major newspaper the subject is of Georgian heritage, then you can add the info in the "body text" under "Background" section and not the lead//intro section with source support the claim. (3) UFC is not considered an independent source for the subject (Topuria) has an association with UFC since he fights under UFC banner. (4) Pls do not revert again but discuss the issue here as an edit warring notification has been sent to your talk page, and if you continue to revert you will be blocked.

Note: To whom it may concern" I have removed German citizenship as Toupouri was born in Germany in 1997 and according to this article, he is not eligible to acquire German citizenship/national due to he moved to Georgia after staying in Germany only 7 years.

Muhammad Mokaev as Russian who was born in Dagestan, Russia, but he moved to England and obtain his UK citizenship and became notable after he was English national so we refer him as an English MMA fighter in Wikipedia; or Alexander Volkanovski as Macedonia / Greek because of his heritage but in Wikipedia we refer to where he was born and became notable which is Australia or Belal Muhammad always refers himself as Palestine which is his technicity or heritage but he was born and became notable in US, so we refers him in Wikipedia as American or Stipe Miocic had brought Croatian flag and wearing Croatian flag pants (before UFC-Rebook deal) to the octagon but he was born and notable in US, so we put he is an American in the lead section, and many other examples who carry other countries flags which is not their birth countries and etc.)
23:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC):It's a matter of understanding what nationality is, which is a very complex topic in itself, and
Per the above guidance, we do not add ethnicity ("Jewish-American") or country of birth ("Russian-born American"). These details can be introduced in the second sentence if they are of defining importance.
@ El Caganer, Lemabeta, Nswix, Caucasian Man, El Caganer, LeontinaVarlamonva, and Nswix:
Ilia Topuria has his Spanish citizeship two days later after Spain Prime Mistery meeting with Toupria which he promised him of his Spanish citizenship, as it was announced in the Council Of Ministers during the press conference.

My guess, as per my thoughts on my previous messages above, is that the Spanish government fast track the process and gave the citizenship of some sort of (May be Sporting) outstanding merit despite that is no treaty from Spanish government to allow dual citizenship with Georgia.
So to conclude, We can safely say, in the lead section and in the infobox section we can put Topuria both of his nationalities. Thank you everyone for the discussion, participation, working together and helping each other. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 22:14, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Change Ilia'sfight with Jai Herbert from "Lightweight debut" to "Lightweight bout," because it was a one off.
Also, please remove "return to featherweight" from his fight with Bryce Mitchell.
If you do not think it wasn't a one off, please cite your sources. Standard practice in Wikipedia is when a fighter has one fight in a different weight class, and is not making a permanent change, you write "Xweight bout," not Xweight "debut." His fight with Bryce Mitchell was not his "return to featherweight," it is his regular weight class.
Again, a citation is needed if you are aware of a permanent change to lightweight. 2607:FEA8:1F9F:BB00:40A5:D9D2:1920:E8C1 ( talk) 20:55, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Some biased Spaniard who wants to appropriate other countries achievements keeps changing Georgian to Spanish. Merab Dvalisvhili is based in the US but that does not make him American. Ilia Topuria represents Georgia and he is Georgian. He officially represents Georgia in the UFC: https://www.espn.com/mma/fighter/_/id/4350812/ilia-topuria Thus, the the fighting community knows he is Georgian.
That's what /info/en/?search=MOS:NATIONALITY says: "Similarly, neither previous nationalities nor the country of birth should be mentioned in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability" The fact that Ilia Topuria is Georgian is very relevant to his notability, as he represents Georgia in the UFC like the above source indicates, and the whole fighting community knows that he is Georgian. So in conclusion, according to MOS:NATIONALITY, he is Georgian. I cannot make this more clear. The editors need to stop these disruptive edits and blocking people who put down credible sources and correct information. This is nonsense.

Thanks for the response, I didn't know there was an open discussion about his "nationality".
I have a somewhat different request. About his "representation" as a fighter:
In the Lede, it is specified that Topuria, as a UFC fighter, exclusively represents Georgia. However, that is not entirely true, and the UFC's own official account uses both countries for him (Georgia and Spain). [1]
I think that statement either should be deleted (as unnecessary) or at least adding Spain too. Thanks for your patience. DrakeXper ( talk) 21:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

For Performance of the Night (three times) after Championships and Accomplishments, the UFC298bonus reference should be moved to the end, after the "< small >" tag because it is making that source smaller. This is just a small request. Thanks in advance.

I recommend removing the Personal Life section, as it only contains a non-notable event with limited coverage and little encyclopedic value. If we included every insignificant out-of-cage brawl or fight an MMA fighter has been into, articles for most of them would be likely be over 100 pages long. nearlyevil 665 07:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

[1] after "This victory marked the end of Volkanovski's four-year reign as the featherweight champion."
3) Under "Championships and accomplishments", update the Performance of the Night section to "Three times" instead of "Two times"
4) Update the text after "Performance of the Night" (Two times) from "Jai Herbert and Bryce Mitchell" to "

Who wrote the lead? It's shameful. Please copy this sentence: "He currently competes in the Featherweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is current UFC Featherweight Champion." and delete "As of February 18, 2024, he is the undefeated UFC Featherweight Champion." 78.180.56.51 ( talk) 06:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Ilia Topuria officially has Spanish nationality.
The infobox claims to only have the Georgian one, which is incorrect. DrakeXper ( talk) 20:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I didn't know there was an open discussion about his "nationality".
I have a somewhat different request. About his "representation" as a fighter:
In the Lede, it is specified that Topuria, as a UFC fighter, exclusively represents Georgia. However, that is not entirely true, and the UFC's own official account uses both countries for him (Georgia and Spain). [1]
I think that statement either should be deleted (as unnecessary) or at least adding Spain too. Thanks for your patience. DrakeXper ( talk) 21:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

For Performance of the Night (three times) after Championships and Accomplishments, the UFC298bonus reference should be moved to the end, after the "< small >" tag because it is making that source smaller. This is just a small request. Thanks in advance.
BTW, it is indeed crazy that Spain vs Georgia is on here. Is it a big problem to include both Georgia and Spain? Marty2Hotty ( talk) 01:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Please add following information in the background section, right after where it talks about his parents. This is pertinent information because of numerous questions that exist online and in newsmedia.
" Topuria speaks Georgian fluently, as well as a bit of Mingrelian. [2] [3] [4] "

I recommend removing the Personal Life section, as it only contains a non-notable event with limited coverage and little encyclopedic value. If we included every insignificant out-of-cage brawl or fight an MMA fighter has been into, articles for most of them would be likely be over 100 pages long. nearlyevil 665 07:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I thank both of you for your contribution to Wikipedia and I hope putting the info in Personal section would be the choice since it is the majority decision here. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 01:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
