Media Islam Makachev responds to Topuria's comments, 'If Topuria continues like this...'

[Dorkman]

Newly crowned champions trying to angle for a fight against the champion a division up is complete cringe at this point. I have zero interest in that. You aren't Conor dude. Defend your belt.

Yeah it's getting really played out.

Ilia better be careful. Hospital bills vs funeral bills.

 

[The Siege]

I think he's implying Ilia talking about beating him up in the streets is getting close to real beef and that so far it hasnt crossed the line.

I hope it doesnt cross the line, that would be lame.

Keep it all in the cage or dont trash talk at all. It's simple. Im not with professional fighters trying to hurt each other outside of competition.

Nah, he's happy to be there. Now, I can show you a pic of him being forced to take a pic, that won't be nearly as hard as one would think.

 

[Goutfather]

You have a very overactive imagination

tell that to fedor. the guy in that picture with islam had his thugs attack fedor’s daughter because of some comment he made in the media.

 

[_manhattan]

the ufc should really just kick out any of these dudes who have organized crime connections. fighters gotta worry about promoting the fight, talking trash and generating interest. they shouldn’t have to worry about getting assassinated by some salty third world warlord.

who exactly do you think owns the UFC? Or has owned it? Bless your heart.

What fight is Ilia promoting, in talking about sending someone he isnt contracted to fight the hospital, after meeting him in the street?

A fundamental axiom of life, fighter or not, is "Talk shit, get hit"

No, there's no evidence of such a thing, in fact, he spoke very harshly against the attackers when it happened -

"Those who assaulted the daughter of Russia’s world-renowned mixed martial artist and head of the national MMA Union Fedor Emelianenko should be punished not only for the attack but also for inciting ethnic hatred, the Chechen Republic’s head Ramzan Kadyrov said. "Whoever raises his hand against a girl, cannot be considered a man," Kadyrov asserted. "It is hard to believe that his only aim was to rob and beat someone up. It is very likely that he also wanted to whip up turmoil in society. The girl was attacked because they knew whose daughter she was. " Chechen leader stressed that the punishment must "be harsh and be made public."" - https://tass.com/society/906482

And from subsequent reports in Russian media, this whole story appears to have been fabricated by the girl and her school friends. -
"— The initial data about the time and place of the attack were not confirmed: nothing happened at the bus stop where Maria indicated. Also, neither the suspect nor the girl herself were captured on surveillance cameras. When trying to clarify the place and time of the attack, the girl kept getting confused, — a source in the special services told Life." - https://life.ru/p/964621

"Play out" ?!?!?

He is responding to Topuria threatening him. Topuria initiated this.

 

[filthybliss]

if he beats holloway, why not let him get splattered, brather?

 

[BangBang]

Khabib would come down and snack Ilia's botty, that's what.

 

[RockyLockridge]

topuria is a primadonna who hasn't defended and therefore doesn't deserve to talk in islam's direction

Two of Islam's title defenses are a FW same one Illa beat, and his other is against a fighter on a 1 win streak (2-3 in his last 5)
