Former interim UFC featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez spoke harshly to the current holder of the full belt Ilia Topuria.
“I would like to beat up Elijah. I don’t just want to get a fight with him, I want to destroy him. This makes a big difference. I want to clarify everything right away. Wherever I meet him, he will be beaten. Fuck him. I do not like him.
This dude just said all sorts of crap about me. I joked with him on social media, and he started talking all this nonsense. Now I just want to warn him, that's all. I usually don’t treat anyone this way and try to always be respectful, but I really don’t like this guy. So I just want to fix his face,” Rodriguez was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
Let us remember that last weekend Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in the second round and became the new UFC champion in the featherweight division.
