Quick read
Ilia Topuria claimed he was told hours before the White House card announcement that he would fight Islam Makhachev, but was later informed Makhachev suffered an injury and he would face Gaethje instead. Topuria expressed confusion about why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Makhachev responded by saying he's tired of hearing fabrications from Topuria and his team, stating he accepted the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria requested a huge fee and was denied. Makhachev insisted Topuria refused the fight and accused him of lying, noting that even Topuria's manager confirmed this version of events. The exchange has sparked debate among fans about who is telling the truth.
