Topuria publicly thanked ... himself

UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria published a post on social networks with words of gratitude to his address.

"Today I want to thank this man for giving me everything I have, for supporting me in every circumstance, for never losing faith in God, for believing in me, and for giving me the life I'm enjoying right now. Today I want to thank myself for all the times I have respected, loved and forgiven myself. Long live the Matador who lives inside of me! I will always be proud of him and with a smile on my face to remember everything I have achieved," Topuria wrote in Instagram.

Recall that Topuria has not stepped into the octagon since February, when he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski and won the championship belt.
