Topuria talks about McGregor: “I won’t sleep well with myself if I do what he does”

HAce a few days, in the middle of the ‘stream’ offered by one of his patrons, Conor McGregor (22-6-0) started the half-roster offense and deconstructed. Among those who were attacked were Ilya Topuria (15-0-0), featherweight Kampen. Now, Georgian Spanish has spoken about the ‘ notorious ‘in a podcast recently published by the’ naked project ‘ and, as expected, the accent is far from the same.

“What visualization does McGregor give you now? It’s in the past. De ya Bas. What do da exist with today? With the things he’s done before, right? But for a long time he did nothing. That is, in sports, at present, looking at it, he is a nobody. I don’t think it’s even ranked.”, The conversation begins about the Irishman, who on June 29 returns to the Octagon to fight at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler.

And Ade: “it’s an icon, and to tell the truth, it gave him a boost… Grateful as a fan of mixed martial arts and a person who practices it. I thank him for everything he has done, really, for the push he has given him. For better or for worse, he has made the sport known. Now he is an’ influencer ‘ who puts drinks in his bar, and he is happy and content. And really, if it’s okay… God bless him.”

Comparisons with McGregor

However, If there is one thing that Topuria runs away from, it is comparisons with McGregor. He didn’t talk to El, he admits… And it is not believed that he had much to do with him either. This does not mean, of course, that he is a media personality at stratospheric levels. And Topuria knows that.

He’s a weirdo. Connor is crazy, he’s so crazy. Sometimes I look at him and I’m like, ‘ God Mo, but this turkey is so crazy. He’s crazy, he’s a character.

“It’s a phenomenon. Connor is crazy, he’s so crazy. Sometimes I look at him and I’m like, ‘ God Mo, but this turkey is so crazy. He’s so crazy, he’s a character. I laugh a lot when I see him”.

But at the same time, Analyzed from the human side: “He is a phenomenon on a sporting level for me, but on a personal level it’s as if on a values level I don’t see myself allied with him at all. For me he has things that I don’t see very well in the way he approaches a conversation, for example, with his competitors. Q, he sells a lot, he does the whole show. But not X… I couldn’t sleep well with myself doing all that, you know? It won’t feel authentic to me. In the end Da I have to base myself on who I really am.”
