@mma.pros.pick: 🇬🇪 Ilia Topuria back in 2022 talking about the losses in his career and personal life. "We all lose in life, everyone does. In relationships with family members, you can't always win, right? Losing is a normal, natural part of life. There's nothing bad about that. For me, it's much worse to see people who fail without trying. If you try something and lose, there's nothing wrong with that. We all have that feeling like, "What if I make a mistake?" "What if I lose?" Why should I worry about losing before it even happens? That's why I always try to think positively. If something bad is meant to happen, it will happen - always. But even in that, I'll find something positive, and no one will ever see Ilia Topuria down, because I work hard and I'm always honest with myself. I know that I will never lose, it won't be because I didn't work hard - or because I held something back."#UFC #mma #ufcwhitehouse #iliatopuria #justingaethje

IDGAF IM STILL WITH YOU ILIA😭💔

random :

People who have never achieved anything in life often hate on those who aim for the top. No one wins forever. If you're always winning, maybe you're not challenging yourself enough. Every great athlete has lost at some point. What made them great is that they kept going. I have even more respect for Ilia now than before. He's a warrior.

jaime :

I wish he had this type of topuria in the ufc today more knowledgeable and humble of things

🤴🏽 :

I will never turn on my king

Noah :

And people saying he's better than Conor what a joke 🤣

KidfromConstanța🏌️‍♀️ :

After becoming champion he got more confident and arrogance came with that too. Love him, he will bounce back for sure but I think he needed this. It will be apart of his story.

𝐃𝐚𝐕𝐈𝐃 🇩🇴 :

I’ll continue loving you, Ilia 😢

rays2fun :

He lost this fight when he signed those divorce papers

TheHamMan :

Ilia was an absolute warrior last night, it just wasn’t his night. He will come back better.

venturatrujillo13 :

Believe it or not, I think he actually gained more respect from UFC fighters and fans. Before this loss, people just saw him as a loud mouth who could fight, but didn’t realize how tough he actually is. Clearly, he has a mentality to grow from this loss, which is scary for anyone who fights in the future.
