UFC featherweight fighter Ilya Topuria again criticized Movsar Evloev for withdrawing from their fight at UFC 270.
“He first started all this dirt on Twitter when he said that I was not a matador, but a red rag with which he would wipe the octagon,” Topuria said on The MMA Hour show. – In the end, he withdrew due to covid three weeks before the fight. He didn’t even ask the UFC to give him a chance to retake the test in 5-10 days in case it turned out to be negative.
For example, before my debut in the UFC, I got into exactly the same situation. In 10 days I passed a positive test, but I asked to be left on the card, to be given a chance for a second test. And after 5 days the test was negative. And I went to fight. When so many people are waiting for a duel, you have no right to merge.
I’m upset, but what can you do. When you’re not dealing with a real man, this is to be expected. Will this fight be interesting for me after UFC 270? I do not know. I was very intrigued by this fight because he had an undefeated record. But now he’s lost that record without even going into the cage.”
Topuria will face Charles Jordin on January 22 at UFC 270 in Anaheim.
