Tempers flare between Topuria and McGregor. After UFC 308, the ‘Notorious’ left a message that the Georgian did not appreciate.
In the featured fight of UFC 308 this Saturday in Abu Dhabi, Ilia Topuria made history by inflicting a big knockout on Max Holloway. Thus, ‘El Matador’ is the first to end the American in this way… Because as a reminder, ‘Blessed’ had never been released knockdown until then.
Through this victory, Topuria therefore validates its first title defense in the under 66 kg category, and at the same time, maintains its invincibility. Now, the Georgian has a career record of 16-0 and is aiming for the under-70kg belt held by Islam Makhachev. But before that, ‘El Matador’ set to face legend Alexander Volkanovski in a revenge.
On the sidelines of UFC 308, a certain Conor McGregor couldn’t help but tackle the champion featherweight. As usual, the ‘Notorious’ let loose on social networks. “ Good little fighter, too small for anything really serious in my opinion. He was getting eaten »wrote the Irishman on X. In summary, McGregor believes that Holloway dominated the fight against the Georgian before the knockout in the 3rd round.
A message which obviously has no more to Ilia Topuria… Who responded to him in an interview for ESPN : « Don’t cross my path. Never. ‘Cause I’m gonna ride you up everywhere I see you » blurted the Georgian champion.
At least the message is clear.
