Ilia Topuria says Islam Makhachev counting other people's money, avoiding fight

Ilia Topuria has publicly stated that Islam Makhachev is focused on counting other people's money rather than fighting. Topuria claims Makhachev has now made excuses twice to avoid facing him. The featherweight champion suggests this pattern of behavior indicates Makhachev is deliberately avoiding a potential matchup. This represents an escalation in the ongoing verbal exchange between the two champions. No specific fight date or negotiations are mentioned in Topuria's comments.
