UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria has made bold comments about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Topuria, who is a Real Madrid fan, recently responded to Ronaldo’s earlier remarks and declared Messi as the greatest player of all time.
Ronaldo had previously said that Topuria “talks too much” and hasn’t faced the best fighters in his division. These comments came before Topuria’s big win over Max Holloway, which solidified his place among the top fighters in the UFC.
Topuria responded by saying that he would invite Messi to his next fight, adding, “Screw Cristiano while Messi exists.” His comment has caused a stir on social media, especially as Topuria has become friends with Messi since the Argentine star joined Inter Miami.
Although Topuria initially kept things polite on social media, his recent comments suggest that the rivalry is far from over. His bold remarks show he’s willing to challenge those who oppose him, including the famous former Real Madrid player, Ronaldo.
