Yuza Kereselidze, grandfather of UFC champion Ilia Topuria and his brother Sandro, shared intimate stories from their childhood in Georgia. He recalled how Ilia, even at five years old, would insist on cycling 20-30 kilometers without rest and showed exceptional determination in everything he attempted. Sandro displayed selflessness by sneaking over a neighbor's fence to get lemonade not for himself, but for other children who couldn't climb over. The grandfather emphasized Ilia's deep love for Georgia from a very young age, recounting how the child would steal car keys and beg visitors to take him back to his homeland. After Ilia won the UFC title, Kereselidze hosted a celebration at his house in Rustavi, inviting everyone who passed by to toast his grandson's achievement.
