Quick read
Ilia Topuria claimed he went to bed 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 fight Gaethje instead. Topuria stated he doesn't understand why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Makhachev responded by saying he's tired of Topuria's fabrications, claiming he agreed to the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria requested a huge fee and was denied. Makhachev insisted that Topuria turned down the fight and accused him of lying. A fan commented on Makhachev's post at 4 a.m., telling him to go to sleep, to which Makhachev replied that it wasn't Ali posting on his behalf.
