I’m tired of hearing made-up stories from Topuria and his team.
I got the call and accepted the fight at the White House. The next day, I was told he asked for an unrealistic purse. The UFC declined, and he pulled out. That’s it nothing more to it.
Even his manager confirmed it.
Ilia, stop talking. Every interview you give tells a different story. You pulled out, and you know it.
We both know who chickened out here 😉 you can cover your cowardice with nasty tweets, but don’t worry, one day you will get what you asked for! and your fat ass manager don’t have to ask for billions to fight me, we’ll do it for free.
Once again Islam comes up with an excuse. This time it’s an injury.
I always knew I would be part of the White House event. Even when the UFC told me at one point that they wouldn’t count on me for the event, I knew it was part of the negotiation.
When they finally told me I would be on the White House card, they mentioned Islam and I didn’t hesitate for a second to accept the fight.
Even though the fight hadn’t been officially confirmed yet, the White House card was going to be announced the next day. And when I woke, I found out that Islam had gotten injured.
And then Justin Gaethje appeared.
Once again, someone else who will pay for Islam’s escape.
Both of their manager is a bitch and also ugly as hell.
Justin, see you at the White House. I’m not someone who humiliates people.
It will be quick. When you wake up, everything will already be over.
Double champ. We made it.
Alhamdulillah - Thanks God.
Want to say thanks to all my fans and supporters around the world. It wouldn’t happen without you!
Legacy continues!
Dan Hooker praises Islam Makhachev for stepping up to face Jack Della Maddalena. 💥👏
"Credit to Islam for stepping up and coming to welterweight. Definitely got my respect for being able to move up and fight JDM. It’s something that even the greatest lightweight of all time, Khabib, never managed to chase as an accomplishment."
