Ilia Topuria: «It will be the fastest KO in UFC history if he exchanges with me. “I’ll take his head off.”

The UFC champion, Ilia Topuria, exposed himself publicly to the media for the last time, during the press conference open to the public at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The Spanish fighter, asked by ABC, pointed out that Max Holloway “is not going to accept exchanging blows” with him during the main event of UFC 308, scheduled for this Saturday night.

«He is not going to accept it because he is not the real BMF. The real BMF would have accepted the challenge. This belt was created for Jorge Masvidal, he would have stayed to exchange. If he wants to stay, they are going to see the fastest KO in the UFC because I am going to rip his head off,” Topuria snapped during his speech.

Of course, the Spaniard has once again recognized the credit for what Holloway has done during his career, where he became featherweight champion five years ago. «You can’t take away all the credits for everything he did. He has written his name in the history of the division. “I am the champion of the world and I have all the respect for him,” he stressed again.

Regarding the legacy he could leave after this fight, Topuria pointed out that “beating Holloway would be adding something huge to my legacy and I am very grateful to share the octagon with him.” “Let’s go Spain, let’s go Georgia,” concluded the monarch of the pen.
