Ilia Topuria, a contender for the UFC featherweight title, again returned to the topic of a possible fight with the former champion of the promotion in two divisions Conor McGregor. Earlier, Ilia already talked about wanting to fight with the Irish star at the UFC tournament in Spain. Now he claims that his fight with McGregor at the legendary Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid is a reality.
“Now it's reality. It will happen. The final details are currently being finalized, and the fight will take place in 2024. Fact. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but we are targeting Conor McGregor. It all depends on the result he shows in his next fight. Let's see if he defeats his opponent. And if later he is ready, then we will fight. If he doesn’t feel ready... what can you do? But if he wants to continue to stay in this sport, he’s going to have to fight.”
