Quick read
Islam Makhachev expressed frustration over what he called "made-up stories" from Ilia Topuria's camp regarding a potential fight at the White House event. Makhachev stated that he accepted the fight immediately after being called, but the UFC rejected Topuria's financial demands the next day, leading to Topuria withdrawing. He emphasized that even Topuria's manager confirmed this version of events. Makhachev criticized Topuria for constantly changing his story in interviews and directly told him to stop talking, insisting that Topuria knows he pulled out of the fight. The lightweight champion appears eager to set the record straight about the failed matchup.
