Ilia Topuria has knocked down a new barrier. This Wednesday, he became the first Spaniard to go through the largest podcast in the world at the audience level, The Joe Rogan Experience, of the comic, ‘influencer’ and commentator of the UFC. A very necessary movement, as Topuria has already conquered the Spanish market and part of the European, but its goal must now go through a place in the US market and in Latin America, where it is still looked reliable by not a few sport fans of which it has managed to be world champion. In his efforts to continue growing, the legend visited Joe Rogan’s studies, where he left several pearls that we collected below. These are the best phrases in Topuria.
– About Conor McGregor: «We had conversations regarding Conor McGregor, just a little. But I can’t say more, you know that UFC are specific and they tell you not to say anything to anyone. If they offer me the fight with Conor McGregor now, why not? If McGregor wants to win me, he would have to die and be born again to do it ».
– Regarding Islam Makhachev: «I don’t care if Makhachev decides that he doesn’t want to fight with me. I will sit until I have to fight with me …. I am here. You can’t keep avoiding me. The UFC promised me a fight for the title, I will not make a fight that is not for it ».
– The short -term lightweight future: «I would put Justin Gaethje against Paddy Pimblett, I would fight Islam Makhachev and once I won my belt I would face Paddy Pimblett because I think Gaethje wins easy. Paddy wins Justin easily. He doesn’t know how to do Grappling and Paddy yes. Then, Paddy and I fight for the world title ».
– Fight on light weight: «I feel so solid in that weight category … I’m going to touch someone and I will turn off the lights … you want to fight, let’s fight, no problem. I have a gas tank for 5 days, not for 5 rounds ».
– About Yair Rodríguez, Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski: «I don’t like Yair Rodríguez’s fighting style. Holloway and Volkanovski are the most intelligent types I have faced. They had a great talent for combat. They knew how to fight.
– Your MMA training: «I do not train only MMA. I try to combine everything … I take boxing classes, wrestling. I try to learn each discipline separately ».
– About the possible confrontation between Belal Muhammad and Islam Makhachev in the wélter weight: «I think Belal and Islam will fight. How many boys who trained before fighting? Belal and Islam should fight!
– About not sparring: «I no longer need to sparring outside the Training Camp. I have sent many fighters to the hospital. To many ».
– Volkanovski, champion again: «I am very happy for his Saturday fight. He really deserved to be champion again.
– The Bernabéu, again to the forefront: «What is best for me is to fight Paddy Pimblett. The UFC could make this fight at Santiago Bernabéu with 80,000 fans ».
