Ilia Topuria is also feuding with Conor McGregor apart from preparing for Max Holloway

Currently, Topuria is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for Max Holloway. He mentioned that his confidence about winning is driven by the amount of effort he puts into his training. However, 'El Matador' is also feuding with Conor McGregor too, apart from training for his UFC 308 encounter.

A few days back, Topuria criticized Holloway for his previous defeat against McGregor. But the Irishman responded by warning 'El Matador' about Holloway having enough skills to defeat him. After this, Topuria shifted his target and khabib-humiliated-you-ilia-topuria-slams-fake-fighter-conor-mcgregor-preview-ufc-308-clash-max-holloway" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-is-sponsored="false">derided McGregor with a few facts.

"100% Max has improved after fighting you. He must have realized that if he wanted to make a living from this, he couldn't be so bad as to lose to someone like you. Nowadays, he beats you easily. Dustin knocked you out in the [rematch], Nate beat you two times, Khabib humiliated you, and Floyd gave you a master class in boxing at 50 years old. Take a seat, kid. You're a fake fighter."
