UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria published a post in social networks with words of gratitude in 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 now enjoy. 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.
