Imagine cutting someone by doing this and then the fight is off. Tsarukyan has been in “don’t mess things up” territory and yet apparently still can’t help himself.
🫡 Ilia Topuria surprised me with this statement at UFC 317 post-fight presser:
"I am not invincible. Quite the contrary. I feel that I'm beatable, and that's why I work so hard. I put so much dedication. And that's why I do the work that I do, and I don't want to leave anything out there. And the work is so well done that I feel that there's no doubt left.
And that's why I celebrate things the night before, because I feel that the victory is built and should be celebrated at the end of camp. Because I would not live with myself if I didn't put all the hard work out there. So I feel that that's what happens. I put so much hard work, and I deserve it."
This should be on a wall.
