🇬🇪 Ilia Topuria back in 2022 talking about the losses in his career and personal life. lose
"We all lose in life, everyone does. In relationships with family members, you can't always win, right? Losing is a normal, natural part of life. There's nothing bad about that. For me, it's much worse to see people who fail without trying. If you try something and lose, there's nothing wrong with that. We all have that feeling like, "What if I make a mistake?" "What if I lose?"
Why should I worry about losing before it even happens? That's why I always try to think positively. If something bad is meant to happen, it will happen - always. But even in that, I'll find something positive, and no one will ever see Ilia Topuria down, because I work hard and I'm always honest with myself. I know that I will never lose, it won't be because I didn't work hard - or because I held something back."
