Illia Topuria's manager has once again addressed the situation regarding a potential fight with Islam Makhachev. He dismissed what he called misleading statements from whoever manages Makhachev's social media account, calling them "nonsense." The manager stated that after the White House event tournament, they will continue pursuing the fight with Makhachev and the financial terms associated with it. The statement suggests ongoing negotiations or disputes about the matchup, though specific details about what was misrepresented are limited. Fan reactions indicated suspicion that both sides may not be fully transparent about the situation.
