“Khabib Humiliated You” – Ilia Topuria Fires Shots At Conor McGregor After His Support For Max Holloway; Fans React
Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria
Featherweight champion Ilia Topuria isn’t pulling any punches outside the octagon. The undefeated Georgian-Spanish fighter has his sights set on Max Holloway at UFC 308. But it seems he has some choice words for Conor McGregor, too. The drama kicked off when McGregor shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout. He praised Holloway’s growth since their 2013 fight. Seems harmless enough, right? Well, Topuria didn’t see it that way.
“El Matador” accused McGregor of being a “fake fighter”. He didn’t stop there as he brought up McGregor’s losses to Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz and even that stinging loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Topuria even mentioned the Irishman’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
“100% Max has improved after fighting you. He must have realized that if he wanted to make a living from this, he couldn’t be so bad as to lose to someone like you. Nowadays, he beats you easily. Dustin knocked you out in the rematches, Nate beat you two times, Khabib humiliated you, and Floyd gave you a master class in boxing at 50 years old. Take a seat kid. you’re a fake fighter,” wrote Topuria via X.
Ilia Topuria’s confidence is sky-high heading into UFC 308. He is boldly predicting a knockout win over Holloway. That is no small feat, considering Holloway’s legendary chin. If Topuria pulls it off, he’ll be the first to KO the Hawaiian.
The MMA world will be watching closely. And who knows? Maybe this war of words will set up a future showdown. The whole situation adds an extra layer of intrigue to UFC 308. For now, the question remains: Will Ilia Topuria back up his big talk? Or will Holloway prove McGregor right about dominating ‘El Matador’?
Fight Fans Reacted To Ilia Topuria’s Harrowing Response To Conor McGregor
The MMA world never sleeps and Topuria just woke everyone else up with his latest rant. He and McGregor have been going on with each other for some time now. The undefeated featherweight sensation’s latest Twitter tirade took the verbal warfare against the Irishman to a whole new level of spicy. ‘El Matador’s’ response to “The Notorious’ left fans’ jaws on the floor. The Georgian-Spanish fighter didn’t just disagree; he went for the jugular.
Social media exploded with reactions from fight fans. Some cheered Ilia Topuria’s boldness while others cringed at the disrespect shown to a legend like the Irishman. Several others believed that he was trying very hard to be like McGregor. Here are some of the reactions from fight fans:
In the end, it’s all part of the game. The trash talk, the drama, the hype, it is what makes MMA so captivating. Ilia Topuria’s outburst might have been shocking, but it’s got everyone talking and with his fight coming up soon, that is a very good thing.
