Ilia Topuria is currently the reigning and defining champion of the Featherweight division in the UFC after finishing Alexander Volkanovski in the second round. Recently, former Featherweight king Conor McGregor was all set to return to the Octagon but bowed out of the fight due to an injury. Ilia Topuria did not hold back when he gave his take on the matter.
Topuria has taken the UFC by storm. He boasts an unbeaten record in the cage and will soon make his first defense of the UFC Featherweight title in the octagon.
Ilia Topuria Lashes Out on Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor reportedly broke his foot and had to postpone his fight against Michael Chandler. The MMA community was let down when the UFC announced that the Mac was out injured. Ilia Topuria, still waiting on the sidelines for his first title defense, gave his take on the matter and did not mince his words. Topuria wrote under Conor’s post,
You are mentally broken. That is your biggest lesson. You doubt yourself, your abilities, your preparation, that’s why you don’t show up. You are a bi*ch.
Topuria claimed that Conor is mentally broken and doubting himself, his ability, and his preparation, which is why he’s unable to show up to scrap in the cage. He even used an expletive to describe Conor’s behavior. This was a rather interesting take, as no one would have ever imagined a confident man like Conor would doubt himself or his capability in the octagon.
McGregor and Topuria are two of the best Featherweights ever, and their altercation on the internet might lead the duo to a possible clash in the future. It’ll be interesting to see what Conor says about Ilia’s statement about him.
