Known for his talkative style, Ilia Topuria constantly adds phrases to his record of bold promises and provocations against rivals. During the week of the fight against Charles of the Bronx, the Spanish-Georgian makes a point of poking the Brazilian at every opportunity he can, in order to try to destabilize the former champion's confidence.
Scheduled to face each other this Saturday (28), both fighters promise a bombastic and aggressive duel when the octagon doors close in Las Vegas (USA). However, despite the tense scenario, Do Bronx avoids insisting on provocations in the style that his rival has adopted.

During an interview about the fight, Topuria was listening to the interviewer talk about the number of victories Charles had had, until he decided to interrupt the questioning and highlight the setbacks suffered by the Brazilian during his career in the UFC.
“You’re not talking about his losses. 10, 10 losses. He loses in many ways: knockout, submission, decision. One more, against me, will not be a problem for him. He will take it and come back on top,” Topuria told Main Event TV.
A veteran in the sport and a UFC fighter for over 10 years, Do Bronx has indeed had losses cited by the Spanish-Georgian. His most recent setbacks ended up being via decision and submission respectively.

On the rise, the athlete knocked out Max Holloway e Alexander Volkanovsky in sequence, until moving to lightweight. The duel against Charles takes place this Saturday (28), in the main fight of the UFC 317.
