“I didn’t expect someone like you to not know how to distinguish between confidence and arrogance. But, in the end, we all reflect our own reality in others. I wish you the best for the rest of your career and I wish you the best for the rest of your career. God bless your family. , Topuria responded publicly, republishing the video in which Cristiano spoke about him.

In 2024, he managed to make history after knocking out two of the biggest legends in the UFC featherweight division: Alexander Volkanovski, ending his reign of over 1,500 days, and Max Holloway, former champion who had never lost by knockout in his career. Cristiano Ronaldo’s opinion of the Hispano-Georgian will surely change after the last fight.
