Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate to throw a few barbs at fighter Ilia Topuria, insinuating that the Spaniard “talks a lot” without having yet faced “the best”. Referring to Topuria’s recent victory over Max Holloway, Ronaldo even suggested that the performance was unimpressive, fueling a heated discussion between the two athletes on social media.
Topuria responds sharply to Ronaldo
Topuria, an unconditional fan of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, did not let this criticism go unnoticed and responded bluntly: “I didn’t expect someone like you to be unable to tell the difference between self-confidence and arrogance. But, ultimately, we all reflect our own reality onto others”. He added an ironic touch by wishing Ronaldo all the best for the end of his career. A frank response which shows that even in the face of his idol, Topuria does not let himself be fooled.
