🎙️ “I’m tired of hearing made-up stories from Topuria and his team.”
Islam Makhachev responds to Ilia Topuria on X following Topuria’s media appearance in Spain earlier today, where he claimed he went to bed the night before the fight was announced thinking it was going to be against Islam at the White House.
“I’m tired of hearing made-up stories from Topuria and his team.
I got the call and accepted the fight at the White House. The next day, I was told he asked for an unrealistic purse. The UFC declined, and he pulled out. That’s it, nothing more to it.
Even his manager confirmed it.
Ilia, stop talking. Every interview you give tells a different story. You pulled out, and you know it.” 👀
