Media Ilia Topuria says he would turn down Conor Mcgregor fight because he's an addict

[AldoStillGoat]

Ilia Topuria says he would turn down a fight against Conor McGregor if it was offered to him: "I'm telling you that if they offered me a fight with [McGregor], I'd say no because there are bigger fights than him...He's not the McGregor that moved the masses. He's a McGregor who represents alcohol and drugs more than sport."

""I'm telling you that if they offered me a fight with [McGregor], I'd say no because there are bigger fights than him"

what should I call this thread?

"Ilia Topuria says he would turn down Conor Mcgregor fight because he's an addict"

Perfect.

 

[VinceArch]

He's not wrong on what he is these days. But Topuria would still take that easy pay day.

 

[Domitian]

He's just taking a shot at Conor. This is like reverse psychology to get the fight and different from everybody who begs Conor to fight them.

 

[Dr Fong]

It may be a blatant lie, but it's actually refreshing to hear someone claim not to want to fight Conor rather than every random nobody getting on their knees and pathetically begging for a fight that will never happen.

 

[World eater]

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

There literally isn't a fighter on earth that would turn down a Mcgregor fight / payday...

 

[markg171]

Seems about right that Ilia would be as dumb as his fans

 

[nonoob]

The town of Spain disagrees.

Offer Lilia a 8-figure payday and watch him change his tune.

Saying that there are BIGGER fights may be inaccurate (or even wishful thinking), but saying he wouldn't fight Conor is the best thing he can say.
All these good fighters WANTING to fight Conor so badly is what gives Conor power. He loves it and craves that attention and adulation.
Ignoring Conor is the best possible way to make him go away.
So flowers to Ilia! Well done.

Ok....I am glad that people are catching on to this, hearing everyone call out a Meth-head Conor every main card gets exhausting.

Yeh, but if they offered Topuria 8 figures then it'd be because there wasn't a bigger fight out there.

 

[blaseblase]

No he wouldn't. He literally called for a fight with Conor after winning the title. He's an idiot who can't keep his story straight. The guy desperately needs someone to coach him on what to say in interviews and what to post on social media.

 

[vlz]

he is faking it more than colby

 

[Uber_Noober]

It’s his discount reverse psychology, even as inebrieated as Conor is, he’d still turn him down and pick his own opponent if he ever decided to actually fight again.

 

[UFC666]

Jesus, he is worst than Chandler. Conor, Conor, Conor... can't forget that name.

 

[El Fernas]

Has anyone tried this way and worked? Topuria knows he wouldnt get the fight anyway.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Can't bear to fight his idol

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Conor has PTSD from the Khabib beatdown.. Topuria would probably put him in a permanent depression.
