Earlier, the Brazilian expressed his opinion that the Georgian does not deserve an immediate title chance in the under-70kg category.
"Charles, you better keep quiet. You have 10 defeats in your career! 5 times you lost by knockout, 4 times by submission and 1 time by decision. You're the challenger, I'm the champion. I'm the father of an entire division. I didn't come to lightweight to ask for anything. I'm in charge here," Topuria wrote in X.
