UFC fighter Ilia Topuria has achieved national icon status in Spain in recent years and has made no attempt to hide his love for Real Madrid. After recently losing his battle with Max Holloway, one of the first questions for him during his press conference was about El Clásico.
However, prior to that fight, Cristiano Ronaldo had his thoughts on the fight, noting that 'Topuria speaks too much and doesn't fight the best. If Max wins, I will respect that.' Topuria wasted no time in responding, saying on social media, “I didn't expect that someone like you wouldn't be able to differentiate between confidence and arrogance. But ultimately, we all reflect our own reality on others. I wish you the best for the rest of your career and may God bless your family.”
Topuria was in the studio Monday night for an interview with Cadena Cope, and naturally their audience back and forth was one of the topics of conversation.
“It's Cristiano who always talks. He tells you that he accuses you of doing something he always does.
It was also put to Topuria that he will soon fight in Miami, where Ronaldo's greatest sporting nemesis resides.
“I love it! But the one I'm going to invite personally, because he lives there, is Messi. So f*** Cristiano as long as Messi exists!”
The half-Georgian fighter has had a strong relationship with Real Madrid, appearing in the VIP boxes at the Santiago Bernabeu in the past and even presenting his World Cup title to fans on the pitch. But the signing of one of the club's greatest legends could divide the Madridistas somewhat.
