Cristiano Ronaldo Faces Backlash from UFC Champion Ilia Topuria
Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked controversy after criticizing UFC champion Ilia Topuria for talking too much ahead of his fight against Max Holloway. Ronaldo’s comments didn’t go unnoticed, and Topuria has fired back at the Al-Nassr star.
Ronaldo’s Criticism
Ronaldo was caught on camera saying, “He speaks too much,” when asked about Topuria’s chances against Holloway ¹. This remark was made before Topuria’s impressive knockout victory over Holloway at UFC 308.
Topuria’s Response
Topuria has now responded to Ronaldo’s criticism, and it’s clear he’s not happy. The UFC champion has blasted Ronaldo, implying that the soccer star is jealous of his success in the octagon.
The Drama Unfolds
This drama began when Ronaldo shared his prediction for the Topuria-Holloway fight, saying, “I like Max, tough guy” ¹. However, Topuria proved him wrong with a stunning knockout victory.
Sergio Ramos, Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid teammate, was in attendance at UFC 308 and was seen supporting Topuria. Ramos even called Holloway “scared” ahead of the fight, adding fuel to the fire ¹.
The Aftermath
Topuria’s win over Holloway has cemented his position as one of the top fighters in the UFC. With his impressive skills and confident attitude, it’s no wonder Ronaldo’s criticism didn’t sit well with him.
What’s next for these two? Will Ronaldo continue to speak out against Topuria, or will he eat his words after the UFC champion’s impressive victory? Only time will tell.
