Ilia Topuria is doing his best to follow the Conor McGregor blueprint.
Earlier this month, the UFC’s reigning lightweight champion called out Terence Crawford ahead of the Nebraskan’s showdown with Canelo Alvarez.
“I won’t talk about what would happen between me and Crawford in an octagon,” Topuria wrote on X. “I’ll talk about what would happen in a ring. I put him to sleep in the first contact!!”
I won’t talk about what would happen between me and Crawford in an octagon I’ll talk about what would happen in a ring.
