The case involving Ilia Topuria and his ex-partner has received updates. The current UFC lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), who had announced a hiatus from his career to focus on the legal battle with Giorgina, had the complaints of mistreatment and abuse withdrawn by his ex-wife, and both reached an agreement.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper 'MARCA', the divorce is proceeding amicably, without the need for further hearings, with both parties reaching a financial agreement. The agreement was reached outside of court, ending the legal dispute. Under the agreement, Uzcategui will retain custody of the child, while both parties have established a visitation schedule.

Undefeated after 17 professional fights, Ilia Topuria hasn't fought since June of last year, when he knocked out Charles Oliveira in the first round of UFC 317 to win the lightweight title.
With his personal situation seemingly resolved, the champion is likely to return to the organization's radar for his next title defense, now with his focus once again on the octagon.
Last Thursday (5), the Georgian-Spanish player posted a suggestive message on social media indicating his return in the coming months.
