Quick read
Islam Makhachev has expressed frustration with what he calls "made-up stories" from Ilia Topuria's team regarding their canceled fight. The lightweight champion stated he received a call and accepted the fight scheduled for the White House event. According to Makhachev, the next day he was told that Topuria requested an unrealistic sum of money. The UFC rejected this request and Topuria withdrew from the bout. Makhachev claims even Topuria's manager confirmed this version of events. He called on Topuria to stop talking, stating that in every new interview the Georgian-Spanish fighter tells a different story about what happened.
