Topuria and Makhachev exchange accusations over UFC White House fight cancellation

Ilia Topuria claimed he was told just hours before the White House event announcement that his fight with Islam Makhachev was scheduled, but was later informed Makhachev suffered an injury and would be replaced by Justin Gaethje. Topuria expressed confusion about why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Islam Makhachev responded by saying he's 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 Topuria refused the fight and accused him of lying. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the two champions and conflicting accounts of what happened behind the scenes.
