One more time, Ilia Topuria is once again on everyone’s lips for his professional successes. The Georgian Hispanic fighter revalidated his title as champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC, the most famous mixed martial arts championship in the world) last Saturday after knocking out his rival, Max Holloway. ‘El Matador’, as he is known, continues to make history with his successes and the best proof of this is that he has not known defeat since he debuted in 2015.
For all these reasons, these days the life of this young man of Georgian parents, born in 1997 in Germany and who grew up in Alicante It is of great curiosity to many. From who his partner is to what he has pocketed after having, once again, won the title after Saturday’s fight in Abu Dhabi, they fill the headlines.
One of the most striking aspects of his profile is how he talks about faith, which he does not hide and which, according to himself, is to blame for his successes in the ring. Topuria is a devotee who pray daily and whenever he can, he publicly thanks “that God has given me this path. A few months ago, after winning the UFC championship for the first time, he was talking about it in a podcast that still interests many today.
«He never stops blessing me…»
This is the Nude Project channel, in which Alex and Bruno chat with current celebrities. In that interview, and after having seen how he prepares confrontations by praying, they asked him about the religion and just now, after having repeated the achievement of the title, the account @UniCatolicos_es has recovered the words in a post that exceeds 45,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Accept everything that God sends you, because it will always be out of love and for good.

«He puts everyone in their place. “As you see, everything I do never stops blessing me…” he begins, half jokingly, to talk about God. When asked by the interviewers, Ilia confirms that «always“He has been “religious, a believer… a super believer” and, likewise, he confirms that “always”, both when he was a child and now as an adult, he prays every night.
To corroborate his faith, Topuria confesses, and shows, that he has a prayer as the wallpaper on his mobile phone. Being clear and blunt, the fighter also made it clear that God is “always” present in his training and preparation ritual before a fight. «He is super present. It is the one that gives me peace really in my heart,” he says.
Thus, in his philosophy of life is the fact of “accepting that there is a God above who sees everything I do and that I accept at any moment everything he is going to send me.” «If God destroys your plans it is because your plans could destroy you», he believes, who ends his reflection by saying that «I always try to put everything in my hands. Afterwards, I leave everything in the hands of God and if he wants me to have the achievement or reach the goal set, then he is welcome. I made an effort and if it wasn’t for me, then it wasn’t for me.
