🎙️ “There’s no lie. We said no to both, and the UFC went dark. When they came back and agreed to the numbers, Islam’s hand was hurt and he couldn’t take the fight.”
Ilia Topuria’s manager has called out Islam Makhachev and his team for allegedly lying about Topuria “pulling out.” He says there’s no truth to those claims, explaining that both offers were declined before the UFC went quiet. When negotiations resumed and the numbers were agreed upon, Islam’s hand was injured and he was unable to take the fight.
“There’s no truth to the claims. We turned down both offers, and then the UFC went quiet. When they came back and agreed to the numbers, Islam’s hand was injured and he couldn’t take the fight.
So whoever is running Islam’s account needs to stop. Once the White House event is over, we’ll continue pursuing the fight along with the money that comes with it.”
