The world of MMA is no stranger to heated rivalries, but the latest war of words between Ilia Topuria and Conor McGregor has fans buzzing. These two fighters have been at each other’s throats for months. Their beef started simmering when Topuria clinched the UFC championship, and it’s been boiling over ever since. And now, it has reached its peak.
McGregor, never one to mince words, recently lit the fuse during a Duelbits livestream. The Irishman, in his typical brash style, went off on Topuria. He boasted about how he’d “slap that little nose off him” and “cave his head in.” But Topuria wasn’t about to take that lying down.
“F**k you, Conor. All day every day… He’s not at my level. Otherwise, I’d gladly put these two knuckles in his brain. See if I could fix it and put his nose back in its place… When we cross paths, you won’t want to even look me in the eyes because you’re going to sh*t yourself. F***ing McChicken,” said Topuria via Instagram Live.
The Georgian-Spanish made a prediction for their potential face-to-face encounter. He claimed McGregor would be too scared even to make eye contact. His confidence is over the moon, and he sees Conor McGregor as a lesser fighter.
What’s interesting is how Ilia Topuria’s view of McGregor has changed over time. He used to look up to the Irishman, seeing him as an inspiration. But now, not so much. ‘El Matador’ has lost respect for McGregor, claiming he now represented “alcohol and drugs” more than sport.

Ilia Topuria declared McGregor unworthy of a bout in a recent interview with Ibai. Topuria didn’t stop there. He went on to claim that McGregor now did not represent the sport as he had succumbed to a life of partying.
“McGregor would be an option if I could fight him…but right now, I’m telling you that if they offered me a fight with him, I’d say no because there are bigger fights than him.”
Ilia Topuria’s not just sitting pretty on his newly acquired throne. He is already eyeing “bigger fights” than McGregor. But for now, the champ is focused on his next challenge. He is set to face the extremely tough challenger Max Holloway at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi. And after he is done with that, he may consider McGregor as an option.
