MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz has responded to Ilia Topuria’s recent comments. Topuria has taken a break from fighting due to personal reasons and is expected to join the fight octagon after the first quarter of 2026.
In his absence, Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett will be on the horns UFC324 with the interim 155-pound championship up for grabs. However, because Topuria’s reason for not competing is not due to injury or illness, there have been discussions about stripping him of the lightweight title.
Topuria recently appeared in an interview with Eldoberdan MMA. During the sitdown he shot Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Arman Tsarukyan.
Topuria claimed that Makhachev does not want to fight him, and the Russian has never faced an opponent like the Georgian-Spaniard. Topuria added that he will put the P4P king to sleep, but could also submit him in front of ‘The Eagle’ and then step on Nurmagomedov’s head.
“I consider the ground to be my strong point, but lately I’ve accepted that it’s not what the crowd wants to see, although with Islam it might be something the crowd wants to see. Dominate him standing, give him three or four punches where I need to hit him, and then put him in front of Khabib and if he wants to pass, I’m happy to step on his head too.”

About the Tsaraland ‘El Mator’ asked:
“He had a chance to fight for the title and he backed out. Maybe he had to change his underwear after he made that decision… They sat at a table and you know what they said? ‘F*ck Arman’. So, Arman, go fuck yourself from here.”

Ilia Topuria’s recent comments were not taken lightly by Ali Abdelaziz. The MMA manager responded by posting on
“I’m a little confused. Everyone is giving this man space and respect to solve his family problems. And that should be the case. But then he came out and talked about Khabib, Islam and Arman for no reason. And he doesn’t even fight. I’m not sure people should give him another chance.”
