The confrontation between Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria seemingly is aware of no finish.
Even earlier than ‘El Matador’ captured the UFC’s featherweight title with a second-round knockout of Alexander Volkanovski in February, he was flinging verbal jabs on the Irish megastar. Lately, Topuria did it once more, threatening to facilitate a gathering between the 2 whereas McGregor is on the town to partake in Naked Knuckle Combating Championship‘s debut in Spain.
“McChicken. On the twelfth, he’ll be at an occasion in Spain whereas I’m on the frontlines, not as a spectator,” Topuria stated on Instagram Reside. “I’ll be headlining an occasion. He’s been lacking out on large time. So cope with it, McGregor. F*ck you!”

Whereas McGregor and Topuria didn’t confront each other within the Southwestern European nation, ‘Mystic Mac’ had loads of issues to say concerning the UFC’s reigning 145-pound titleholder throughout an unhinged interview with Jamal Niaz.
“F*ck him, f*ck him. This isn’t his house nation,” McGregor stated. “That is my house nation, child! Marvilla, Spain, the place is he at? This isn’t his house nation, he is aware of the place his house nation is, and it’s not España… So good luck Max Holloway. F*ck him up!” (h/t BJPenn.com)
On October 26, Topuria will return to the Octagon at UFC 308 as he places his featherweight strap on the road for the very first time in opposition to former titleholder and reigning BMF champion Max Holloway. ‘Blessed’ earned his spot, and the bragging rights belt, through an epic buzzer-beating knockout in opposition to Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in April.
Topuria enters the bout with an ideal 15-0 document with an 86% end fee, together with 5 knockouts and eight wins by means of submission.
For Holloway, will probably be his thirtieth stroll to the Octagon.
