The rivalry between Conor McGregor And Ilia Topuria reached a higher level. The Irishman attacked the Spaniard this Saturday with statements which, in addition to being a lie, constitute a provocation and an attack against Topuria. McGregor, who is currently in Spain, even said that “Ilia Topuria is not Spanish, he is Georgian” and that he “is more Spanish” than Topuria.
According to his theory, he is “more Spanish” than Topuria because thanks to Spanish athletes he had “a fantastic summer”. This refers to this he won a lot of moneysince we know that McGregor is passionate about sports betting. “I bet Spain would win the European Football Championship and we won, so let’s go to Spain,” said the Irish fighter, a two-time UFC champion.
Furthermore, McGregor also assured that he had opted “for Carlos Alcaraz win tennis and he won too, so I won two big bets thanks to the Spanish athletes. Alcaraz won at Wimbledon on the same day Spain won the European Championship.

To continue in his lineage, the Irishman added that he supports other Spanish athletes such as “Fernando Alonso in F1, Alcaraz in tennis, Sergio Ramos in football and the whole Spanish team which made us a lot of money this summer.
McGregor’s controversial attack on Topuria
The sentence left by Conor McGregor about Ilia Topuria was particularly relevant. “It’s not Spanish, it’s Georgian”said the Irish fighting media during the BRAND Sports Weekend 2024. This is how we will continue the media confrontation that the two experienced. It should be remembered that McGregor refused to fight Topuria. “You are mentally broken. This is your biggest lesson. You doubt yourself, your abilities, your preparation, that’s why you don’t show up. you are a bitch“, Topuria even said about McGregor.
It is therefore obvious that McGregor’s controversial sentence aims to provoke the Spanish fighter, who has Spanish nationality and is therefore Spanish. Topuria was born in Germany, then he had to move to his parents’ native Georgia, but after just a year they moved to Spain, where the UFC featherweight champion grew up.
