Understand Paulo Borrachinha's indirect message to Ilia Topuria.
Ilia Topuria He recounted in an interview where he met his then-wife, now ex-wife. In the video, the fighter comments that Miami was where it all began. "Actually, I met my wife in Miami... She lived there at the time," Topuria told the interviewer.
Incredulous, the interviewer reiterated his surprise that Miami was where Ilia had met his wife at that moment. “Wow! Who says you can’t meet your wife in Miami? You’ve given me hope now. Everyone says you can’t find a wife in Miami,” he stated.
Topuria disagreed and reinforced that it's possible to "find your wife anywhere in the world." Taking advantage of the comment, the interviewer joked: "Did you hear that? Put that on 'Only in Dade' on Instagram: 'You can meet your wife in Miami'," he said.
Next, Topuria asked the interviewer, "Why are you saying that?" He promptly replied, "Everyone says that... that you can't find someone in Miami. That Miami is just fun, party, party, party."
Even so, Ilia maintained her opposing stance and explained that this view depends on the environment one frequents. “When you only go to parties and surround yourself with people who live solely for that, you end up thinking that Miami is only about that. But those people don't represent the city. There are people who just want a normal life,” Topuria concluded.
