Ilia Topuria is elevating the temperature on his trash discuss as his extremely anticipated UFC 308 featherweight title protection in opposition to Max Holloway approaches.
Positive, Holloway has been getting his justifiable share of consideration. However Topuria doesn’t discriminate. He’s been dismissing champions throughout a number of weight lessons, from Islam Makhachev to Belal Muhammad.
In a current Instagram Reside Q&A, Topuria as soon as once more torched Muhammad, suggesting he’d lose in his not too long ago introduced most important occasion in opposition to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310.
“Shavkat [will win], Belal is a pretend champion,” Topuria mentioned. “Pretend. I feel proper now within the welterweight division the one who will come again and take the belt once more is Kamaru Usman. Simple work for Usman.”
Didn’t this dork simply purchase a pretend bmf belt to pose with.. he’s beginning to change into the Georgian model of Coby Covington

Muhammad didn’t take lengthy to fireplace again.
“Didn’t this dork simply purchase a pretend BMF belt to pose with?” he wrote on X (previously Twitter). “He’s beginning to change into the Georgian model of Colby Covington.”
That led Ilia to go scorched earth.
NO FINISHES. NO KNOCKOUTS. NO KNOCKDOWNS. NO GIRLFRIEND. NO KIDS,” Topuria tweeted. “BELAL HAS NEVER FINISHED ANY MAN OR WOMAN.”
It’s a disgrace the 2 are thus far aside in weight lessons as a result of that is turning into fairly the meat. And simply if you surprise if Topuria is simply being chaotic like Covington, he drops one of many coldest disses doable with none of Colby’s mush mouth errors.
He’ll need to be on guard, although … UFC 308 goes down in Abu Dhabi and half the fighters he’s dissed are gonna be in attendance. There’s already been not-so-subtle hints from Staff Makhachev that “El Matodor” must olé his approach by combat week to keep away from fisticuffs.
Issues are coming to a boil already. What’s going to they appear to be subsequent week on the bottom, and can they distract Topuria from the true activity at hand, which is the insanely harmful Max Holloway?
