Main target of the newly crowned UFC featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg) Ilia Topuria, Conor McGregor did not leave the Georgian-Spanish without answers and used his good humor to counter the challenge received in the UFC 298, last Saturday (17).
Soon after brutally knocking out the then champion Alexander Volkanovsky and win the featherweight belt in the main fight of the event, Topuria used the microphone, still above the octagon, to challenge the Irishman to a fight in Spain, if the Irishman.

"Conor McGregor, if you still have b***s, I’ll be waiting for you in Spain”, said the new champion.
The challenge, reinforced during the post-event press conference, was responded to by 'Notório' through a humorous comment on social media.
“I have big b***s. I have four children,” she replied..
Conor McGregor has been away from the Ultimate Octagon since July 2021, when he suffered a serious leg fracture in the defeat to Dustin poirier, UFC 264. Having recovered from his injury, the Irishman still has no date or even a defined opponent for his return to the organization.
Ilia Topuria, in turn, has a very similar start to his career as the Irishman in the UFC. Just like the former champion, the Georgian-Spanish won the organization's belt in his seventh fight, knocking out a dominant champion.
