Ilia Topuria's Manager Confident in Fighter's Future After Loss
Ilia Topuria's team remains confident following his recent loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 in Washington, DC. Topuria, known as 'El Matador', was forced to retire before the fifth round due to significant damage sustained during the fight.
After this defeat, Ali Abdelaziz has suggested that Usman Nurmagomedov should face Topuria next. Nurmagomedov recently gained attention after a knockout victory and is considered a top free agent in MMA.
Malki Kawa, Topuria's manager, responded strongly to Abdelaziz's comments, asserting that Topuria would defeat Gaethje and other fighters in the division. He emphasized that Topuria remains a top contender and hinted at a potential comeback, although Topuria is expected to take time off following his recent fight.
