Ilia Topuria's recent statement , in which he admitted he would relinquish his featherweight title (up to 65,7 kg) to move up to lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) before retiring at age 30, has generated a reaction from one of the Georgian-Spanish fighter's biggest rivals, Conor McGregor , who surprisingly seemed to agree with the champion's plan.
In a post on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter), Conor McGregor drew a parallel between Ilia Topuria 's career plan and his own, stating that he had 'reset' the sport at only 27 years old.

“Here’s the truth that will hurt all the nobodies who dream of being something. Fighting was too easy for me. At 27 I had already done it all,” he wrote.
If at 27 years old Conor McGregor was on top of the world, today, at 36, the situation is very different. With only one victory in his last four fights and without having been in action since July 2021, the Irishman has been planning a return to the octagon for years, but still has no fight scheduled.
At the same time, the 'Notorious' has been dealing with serious problems in his personal life. Recently, the former UFC champion was convicted of rape in a civil case in Ireland, his home country.
