Topuria open to McGregor fight: 'Never close doors to such opportunities'

Ilia Topuria commented on the possibility of facing Conor McGregor, stating he never closes doors to such opportunities. The featherweight champion acknowledged that he and McGregor are not currently on the same competitive level, but noted McGregor's popularity and relevance in MMA discourse. Topuria's comments suggest openness to a high-profile matchup despite the competitive mismatch. The post included a fan poll asking whether it would be a hype fight or foolish to make. McGregor has not fought since his leg injury loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
