Quick read
Ilia Topuria claims he went to sleep knowing he would fight Islam Makhachev at the White House event, but hours before the announcement he was told Makhachev was injured and he would face Gaethje instead. Topuria says he doesn't know why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him, calling him strange. In response, Islam Makhachev stated he's tired of hearing fabrications from Topuria and his team, saying he agreed to the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria demanded a huge fee and was refused. Makhachev insists that Topuria refused the fight and knows it. The exchange has created controversy about who is telling the truth regarding the failed booking.
