Key Points:
- Ilia Topuria’s manager, Malki Kawa, responded strongly to Ali Abdelaziz’s claim that PFL star Usman Nurmagomedov would easily defeat UFC lightweight fighters, including Topuria.
- Kawa criticized Abdelaziz for his bold predictions during a podcast with clients Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, asserting that Topuria remains the top fighter despite his recent loss to Justin Gaethje.
- Kawa emphasized that Topuria had a bad night against Gaethje but would decisively beat Abdelaziz’s roster, promising a dominant comeback from Topuria once he recovers from his injuries.
- The recent fight saw Gaethje defeat Topuria at UFC White House in June, with Gaethje potentially approaching the end of his career while Topuria is currently healing.
- Kawa dismissed Abdelaziz’s comments as hype and insisted that Topuria will demonstrate his elite status against any opponent upon his return.
