Quick read
Ilia Topuria claimed he was initially told he would fight Islam Makhachev at the White House event but received a call hours before the announcement saying Makhachev was injured and he would face Justin Gaethje instead. Topuria expressed confusion about why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Makhachev responded by stating that he agreed to the White House fight when offered, but was told the next day that Topuria demanded a huge fee and was rejected. Makhachev accused Topuria and his team of lying, noting that even Topuria's manager confirmed the fee issue. In an unusual detail, when a fan commented that it was 4 AM, Makhachev replied that it wasn't him posting, suggesting someone else manages his account.
