Ilia Topuria claimed he went to bed 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 Gaethje instead. Topuria questioned why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Islam Makhachev responded that he is tired of Topuria's fabrications, stating he agreed to the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria requested a huge fee and was denied. Makhachev insisted that Topuria refused the fight and that even Topuria's manager confirmed this. In a humorous exchange, when a fan told Makhachev to go to sleep at 4 AM, Makhachev replied that it wasn't him posting. The post also includes reactions from Jorge Masvidal and Bo Nickal backing Sean Strickland against Chimaev, and Dricus Du Plessis naming Adesanya as his most technical opponent.
