Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has recently made malicious comments about the UFC Ilia Topuria champion. Fans are currently waiting for solo between CR7 and Topuria in the way men often do.
Ronaldo sparked a war
The battle on social networks between Cristiano Ronaldo and UFC Ilia Topuria champion has recently become the focus of the sports community. Everything started from a seemingly innocuous comment, but made the atmosphere between the two became tense.
During the conversation with the former heavy UFC champion Francis Ngannou in October, Ronaldo frankly commented: “Topuria talks too much” and said that the Spaniard has never defeated a really big opponent before encountering Max Holloway.
This statement makes Ilia Topuria – who is a “hard” fan of Real Madrid – cannot help but disappoint. On social networks, he countered: “I don't think a person like you cannot distinguish between confidence and arrogance.” At the same time, Topuria expressed his desire to meet Ronaldo directly to relieve misunderstandings.
The contradictory thought will escalate, but CR7 chose to solve in the style of “old general” – without words back and forth, not counterattacking harshly. Instead, he surprised the online community when he silently pressed the Follow button of Topuria's Instagram account – a small act but a big message: reconciliation.
Topuria then shared in the interview with The Ariel Helwani Show: “I think he initially misunderstood me. But when he started watching me, he might have seen another aspect. If he had the opportunity to meet directly, I believe Ronaldo will change his mind.”
Ilia Topuria – UFC boxer is rising and the formidable opponent of every fist
Born in 1997, Ilia Topuria is one of the brightest names in MMA. Once a feather champion, he now moved to a light competition and prepared a belt with Charles Oliveira at UFC 317, scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 29.
Topuria stands out by the cold style of competition, comprehensive skills and the ability to knockout as fast as lightning – making many people believe that he will be the next symbol of UFC.
As for Ronaldo, on the pitch, he has long shown intense passion for martial arts, especially Boxing and MMA. CR7 not only regularly participates in UFC events but also keeps a close relationship with many popular punches like Francis Ngannou or Mike Tyson.
The story of Ronaldo – Topuria is a typical example of how celebrities, despite disagreements, can still choose a civilized and sophisticated behavior. Who knows, in the future, fans will witness an interesting meeting between two “warriors” in two different arenas.
