I’m not even trying to be a Topuria hater here but he’s never going to be the same fighter.
This makes what happened to Dan Hooker after Dustin look like a cakewalk…
Is he even conscious in this picture? Or still out cold?
No one is talking about the mentality you have to have to get brutally knocked out cold, pick yourself up, and press on to become a champion.
One moment you are humiliated in front of the whole world, the next moment you are the champion of the world.
Never give up.
Glory and pain walk side by side.
Until death, all defeat is psychological.
🧠 Ilia Topuria’s brother Aleksandre analyzes Justin Gaethje:
“Justin Gaethje picks his shots when you stand in front of him.
He’s very fragile when he hits, but it’s a double-edged sword to choose to hit him when he’s hitting. So you’ve got to be very selective with your shots.
When he hits is when he’s very vulnerable to shots, because he doesn’t know how to hit clean… think and stay protected.”

💔 Gilbert Burns once called his mother to ask for money, but before he got the chance, she asked if he had any to send:
“I needed to pay rent, which was $7–8, and I had bronchitis. So I called my mom to see if she had money for medicine to help me out.
When I called her, I talked to her for a long time because I wasn’t going to ask for money right away. Then she asked me if I had money to send her. I said I didn’t have any at the moment, but I would send it to her pretty soon.”
Gilbert says he locked in after this call, and his first success started coming in 2009.

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.

YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL blasted Dana White over UFC fighter pay, how he treats his wife, and AI promos 😳
“F*cking scumbag. I do not like Dana White but I really like the fighters, it’s such a f*cking shame. It f*cking sucks, he f*cking sucks.”
Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas squash the beef 🤝
Georgia gives Arman the 10k, and Arman is giving it to a kid in need
The good ending

Ronda Rousey just went on a rant about the UFC’s fighter pay 😳
“The UFC is one of the worst places to go. Their champions like Valentina are selling pictures of their t*tties on OnlyFans.
They just got $7.7 billion dollars. There’s no reason they can’t pay their athletes.”
