Ilia Topuria’s friends who admire his way of fighting: Contador, Sergio Ramos, Pablo Motos, Ferrán Torres or Omar Montes

Surely around eleven at night, like hundreds of Spaniards, in front of the television will be some of the famous friends from Topuria, who has an entourage of stars equal to few.

Among Ilia Topuria’s friends are Omar Montes, Sergio Ramos or Alberto Contadorgreat at what they do as a fighter and who will be waiting for their possible feat this weekend.

His intimate bond with Omar Montes

Possibly Omar Montes is the one who has the most relationship with Topuria of all, and together they have starred in even a bar fight in which the singer got into a fight with someone who had messed with the Hispanic-Georgian.

It is common to see how both of them comment on social networks or even upload photos together as great friends.

«He is going to show what he has inside and what he is made of. I have no doubt that he will be champion,” said Montes in statements to ‘Eurosport’ about the expected fight in which he believes that his friend’s mentality will be key.

The admiration of Alberto Contador

“He has the mentality that I had.” With these words Alberto Contador defined the quality that he most admires about the Alicante-based fighter.

And that a winner of seven grand tours -including two Tours- say that about you gives an idea of ​​the kind of beast we have with Topuria.

Both the wrestler and the former cyclist have complimented each other in public over the years and maintain a beautiful friendship.

The inspiration of Pablo Motos

Topuria stopped by the set of ‘El Hormiguero’ and the good vibes he has with the show’s host, Pablo Motos, were clearly evident.

So much so that the fighter even tried to teach him how to do a ‘mataleón’, an extreme technique used in mixed martial arts.

Motos is a great boxing fan and often uploads videos on his networks practicing it – we don’t rule out seeing him on the evening of the year – and he has a great personality in the genius of the UFC to draw inspiration from.

His ‘brother’ Ferran Torres

«Today I dedicate training to you, friend. Admiration and respect,” Ilia wrote. «You are top, brother. Very soon, world champion »responded Ferran Torres, footballer for Barça and the Spanish team.

In fact, in the post Topuria appeared with Ferran’s number 11 on his back on the national team’s jersey.

And ‘El Matador’, as the fighter is known, changed Torres’ mentality as he himself has said on numerous occasions.

Managing the sporting elite is not easy and yet Ilia, who has gone from working as a hammock swinger in Alicante to reigning in mixed martial arts, has always known how to maintain a winning mentality while keeping his feet on the ground. A great example for his ‘brother’ Ferran, who is common to see at the foot of the octagon enjoying his fights, like Sergio Ramos.

This Sunday all of them will be either in front of the TV or in their own Etihad Arena Abu Dhabi where the Spanish-Argentine, who loves Spain and demonstrates it every time he has it, will seek to make history.
