Quick read
Illia Topuria and Islam Makhachev have offered contradictory versions of events regarding their proposed White House fight. Topuria claims he went to sleep knowing the Makhachev fight was scheduled but woke up to a call saying Islam was injured and he would face Gaethje instead. Makhachev countered that he agreed to the fight but was then told Topuria demanded an enormous fee and was denied, leading to the fight falling through. Makhachev added "today this is not him" when a fan commented at 4 AM, suggesting someone else was managing his account. Topuria's manager has been mentioned as confirming certain details about the situation.
