Ilia Topuria addresses back and forth with Belal Muhammed
Eight months after capturing the UFC featherweight crown, Ilia Topuria has managed to find himself linked to champions in three of the surrounding weight classes — not to mention the most successful crossover star in the history of the sport.
“I’m like, Listen, kid, I’m not even talking about you. I didn’t mention your name anywhere. Why are you talking about me? And now, ‘I’m gonna slap you around.’ Who did you slap? What makes you think that you’re gonna slap me around, or I’m gonna let you slap me? I’m gonna kill you right when I’m gonna see you. I’m gonna slap you. Shut up, man.”
Holloway-Gaethje left jaws agape after Holloway pointed and called for the two to throw hands in the center of the cage with 10 seconds to go, with born entertainer Gaethje obliging before winding up unconscious before the horn.The champ, however, will only cop to being “impressed” with the finish and what it might mean for him.“I was impressed, and at the same time, I was very happy because, after that knockout, my thought process was, I have a new challenger.
