Topuria met with Messi

Elijah Topuria, the reigning UFC featherweight champion, attended the recent bout between Inter Miami and Colorado and took a joint photo with legendary Argentine striker Lionel Messi.

"With one of the greatest legends in the history of sports. He is a great example for me and a role model for everyone," Topuria signed the photo with the star Argentine.

It is worth noting that Topuria is a fan of Real Madrid, and Messi for many years was the leader of attacks and the main star of the eternal rival "cream" Catalan "Barcelona".

Recall, Elijah Topuria won the UFC championship belt in February of this year, winning by knockout in the second round against the then reigning champion Alex Volkanovski.
