Topuria shared his dream scenario for his next fight, expressing his wish to have Lionel Messi among the audience.

"I would like to fight the number one contender, who is Charles Oliveira. We have Messi, Ronaldo can f*** himself," said Topuria.

What a harsh remark!

The feud between the two athletes began when Ronaldo questioned Topuria’s abilities in a video, doubting his chances against Max Holloway and implying that the Georgian-Spanish fighter talks too much without proving himself against top opponents.

Topuria was deeply disappointed by Ronaldo’s comments and has since been vocal about his disdain for the football star. Adding fuel to the fire, Topuria defeated Holloway in their highly anticipated fight, maintaining his undefeated record and solidifying his place among the best in the UFC.
