Quick read
Ilia Topuria claims he went to sleep knowing his fight with Islam Makhachev would be announced at the White House event, but hours before the announcement he was told Makhachev was injured and he would face Justin Gaethje instead. Topuria stated he doesn't understand why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. In response, Makhachev says he agreed to the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria requested a huge purse and was denied. Makhachev accused Topuria of refusing the fight and lying about it. A fan commented on the late-night post, to which Makhachev replied it wasn't his manager Ali Abdelaziz posting this time, suggesting he was personally responding.
