Ilia Topuria supported his favorite team after the disastrous El Clasico.
Real Madrid suffered a heavy defeat from Barcelona with a score of 0:4 in the match of the 11th round of the Spanish La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Along with this fight, the organization’s featherweight champion Ilia Topuria (16-0) fought his fight as part of the UFC 308 show in Abu Dhabi, who before the fight complained that he would not be able to watch El Clasico. The fighter, who is a known Los Blancos fan, even vowed to knock out La Liga President Javier Tebas during the match.
Topuria won an early victory in his fight with American Max Holloway (26-8), and at a press conference after the fight he was told the result of El Clasico. The UFC champion still supported his favorite team after such a failure.
“Really lost? 0:4? Impossible! But no problem, in any case – Come on Madrid!” – said Topuria.
🤣 That’s how Topuria found out about Real Madrid’s defeat in the clásico.
