The UFC lightweight championship has experienced a real earthquake in the last few hours. Ilya Topuria’s announcement that she will not fight until at least next spring, due to family issues, has rocked the future of the division.. We do not know exactly how or to what extent this will affect the Spanish-Georgian champion’s relationship with the company managed by Dana White, but the Matador’s decision is firm.
Although the networks were filled with all kinds of comments indicating that the hero had fled from Arman Tsarukyan, voices also appeared that did not hesitate to support the hero’s decision. This is the case of Max Holloway who wanted to show his sympathy for Topuria. “I’m sorry to hear that, as I know firsthand the struggle you face when trying to protect your children. I hope everything goes wellHawaii said.
It is worth noting that Max Holloway was Topuria’s featherweight competitor and that their confrontation was a painful defeat for the American. No one had knocked him out in his entire career until he met “The Wrestler.”. Far from resentment, Holloway, who had been doing this for many years, wanted to support Topuria.
Max Holloway too He suffered personal problems related to his separation from his wife in 2017. At the time, the Hawaiian was trying to consolidate his position within the featherweight division and unify the division’s belt. In that time Holloway had to fight Jose Aldo twice and then had to abandon two fights due to health issues.
Whatever the case, Ilya Topuria wanted to thank the American for this gesture and posted a message on social networks describing his former rival as a “brother.” “Thanks for the support, brother. I wish you and your family all the best.”were the words “Gladiator”.
