El Matador’ Ilia Topuria, the UFC featherweight world champion, carved his toughness by day by day road fights in his hometown, in line with a guide by his mom.
Ilia Topuria and Road Combating
The Spanish-Georgian Ilia Topuria captured the UFC featherweight crown with a extremely spectacular knockout towards the top-ranked pound-for-pound athlete Alexander ‘The Nice’ Volkanovski. He then defended this throne by means of knockout towards the all-time nice ‘Blessed’ Max Holloway.
‘El Cazador’ Aleksandre Topuria is the brother of Ilia and is an MMA fighter as effectively. Their mom Inga lately wrote a guide about them and tells a narrative about their days of road combating. She stated:
“I discussed fights and this was about road fights. It was not uncommon, it was a day by day routine. Every time they have been within the streets, they have been combating. To think about – Three boys would seem. They regarded like they’d simply watched “Scarface” film and didn’t know what to do.
“They might come and inform you that they needed your hat or your belt. There have been 3 ways – giving up, working away and combating. There was a fourth one – discovering a mutual good friend, however this fourth one was a bit tough, so Ilia and Sandro at all times prefered to struggle and surprisingly, on the finish of the day, they at all times had a hat and a belt.
“It was not in regards to the issues, it was about to safe/defend their place within the streets. It’s the place they realized that the way in which to their largest (Championship) belts began with protecting their very own, abnormal belts within the streets of Rustavi.”
I am studying the guide “Mom & Ilia” which is devoted to the story of Ilia Topuria’s mom, Inga, who’s from Abkhazia, a area of Georgia occupied by Russia.
