The Lightweight Division of the UFC, for many the most competitive and prestigious of the world of mixed martial arts, is in full war of contestants. On the one hand, Charles Oliveira, the former shield of light weight, recently said, in an exclusive interview in ABC, which should be the next challenger. «Islam Makhachev wants to fight at the International Figh Week (June 28) and me too. I’m ready. Let’s do it, ”said the Brazilian. For its part, Ilia Topuria has left the title of the vacant feather weight to obtain a direct opportunity for this belt.
Thus, Oliveira, who showed great respect for the Hispanic-Georgian during the talk, explained that, at the moment, it was not “a great fight” for the Brazilian, since he is looking to become, again, in UFC lightweight champion. In addition, he argued that, when entering the division again, Topuria “could not jump the line”and that should make a previous fight before deserving the opportunity to compete for the world title.
This morning, during an institutional visit to Toledo, Topuria has responded to Oliveira’s words in ABC, in another question thrown by this medium. «I would take a walk in Toledo with Charles Oliveira to give him some culture and give him some teaching, surely, because it is seen that he has not read the sheet of a newspaper this kid. Another question, please, this occasion is not worth talking about it, ”said Topuria.
Excited for recognition
On the other hand, the Hispanic-Georgian has been very excited with the street granted by the Toledo City Council, coinciding with the appointment of the European Sports City. «I was on the way and they were telling me the story of Toledo. So that you know how identified I feel with this city. Something that has surprised me a lot is your defense strategy: The Tajo River would be my left hand, my high defense, its walls, my right hand because it covers the attacks on the body, and your labyrinths my two hands up, an unwavering defense. And if we add to this how special and dear that you make me feel, because we think what are the ways of making sense of someone, taking a walk in the European sport city, is in the top, ”said Topuria.
«I can promise where I will take it with great honor. I am very excited to think that today is the day I receive a walk, I almost come tears in my eyes. Because I also dreamed this. It is an honor, tell you that today when I return home, I return with the conclusion that Toledo is not only great for its history and its monuments, but for the soul of its people, it is great for you, ”explained the legend (his new nickname), which will premiere the Paseo Ilia Topuria this afternoon in the Manchega capital.
