Islam Makhachev calls out Topuria's team for 'made-up stories'

Islam Makhachev expressed frustration over what he calls fabricated narratives from Ilia Topuria's team regarding their potential fight at the White House event. Makhachev claims he accepted the fight the day he was called, but Topuria withdrew after requesting an unrealistic payment that the UFC rejected. He stated that even Topuria's manager confirmed this version of events. Makhachev urged Topuria to stop talking, accusing him of telling a different story in every new interview. The lightweight champion insists Topuria pulled out of the fight and knows it.
