UFC featherweight king Ilia Topuria is just a few weeks away from the biggest fight of his career against BMF title holder Max Holloway, where his featherweight crown will be on the line. However, more than the bout, Topuria is also focusing on the lightweight division, eager to secure a massive title fight against champion Islam Makhachev. This situation puts him at odds with “Team Khabib.” Last week, Belal Muhammad joined Makhachev in issuing a warning to ‘El Matador’, saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Topuria was not pleased with Muhammad intervening between him and Makhachev, leading to a confrontation where Topuria slammed the Welterweight king. This situation escalated on X, with Muhammad not letting it go. He aimed ultimate disrespect at Topuria, writing, “Didn’t this dork just buy a fake BMF belt to pose with? He’s starting to become the Georgian version of Colby Covington.”
