Topuria's manager disputes Makhachev's account of failed title fight negotiations

Ilia Topuria's manager responded to recent claims from Islam Makhachev's social media account, calling the statements about their failed fight negotiations "nonsense." The manager stated that after the White House event, they will continue pursuing a bout between Topuria and Makhachev, along with the associated financial compensation. The comments suggest ongoing tension and conflicting narratives between the two camps regarding why the highly anticipated cross-divisional championship fight did not materialize. The manager's statement implies that whoever is managing Makhachev's account is not presenting the full story.
