Quick read
Ilia Topuria claimed he went to sleep knowing he would fight Islam Makhachev at the White House event, only to be told hours before the announcement that Makhachev was injured and he would face Justin Gaethje instead. Makhachev fired back, saying he accepted the White House fight but was then told Topuria requested a massive fee and was denied. The heated exchange saw Makhachev insist Topuria turned down the fight and knows it. The feud has escalated with both fighters accusing each other of lying about the circumstances. A fan jokingly told Ali Abdelaziz to go to sleep at 4 AM, to which Makhachev replied, "Today it's not him."
