🚨🤕 Ilia Topuria’s close friend Pablo Motos, gave an update on Topuria’s physical and mental state after his loss to Justin Gaethje.
“This morning I was with Ilia. He has fractures in his orbital bones, in his nose. This morning they were treating his wounds and he still couldn’t open his eyes properly.
Then we were talking about something we’re going to do this summer, making jokes, and then he said a phrase I loved. He looks at me with his eyes closed and says, ‘Champions, when we fall, we fall hard.’
They’re already looking toward the future. He was telling me, ‘I’d love to do the rematch in Spain with Gaethje.’”

🚨 Immediately after the loss to Ciryl Gane, Alex Pereira asked the UFC for an immediate rematch
“I explained to them about the illegal shots… I said the right thing is an immediate rematch.
They asked for some time to get an answer. I’m gonna wait a bit but very soon we will have an answer.”
🚨 Ilia Topuria just released a statement following the loss to Justin Gaethje last night
"Justin, congratulations. You said you’d leave your mark on my face… and you did.
You took the sight from my right eye in the first round, and by the end of the second, from my left too.
No excuses.
I had one of the best camps of my life. I came in sharp, prepared, and ready. Last night was your night.
That’s the nature of this game. Glory and pain walk side by side.
I’ll heal. I’ll rest. And I’ll return stronger, wiser, and far more dangerous.
And trust me… this story between us is far from over.
We will have our rematch."
