Things are heating up between Ilia
Topuria and Justin
Gaethje ahead of their upcoming fight.

Topuria (17-0) will look to defend his lightweight title against
interim champ Gaethje (27-5) in the main event of
UFC White House: Freedom 250 on Sunday, June 14. While both
Topuria and Gaethje were initially respectful toward each other,
they have now started a serious war of words.

Topuria recently got divorced from his ex-wife, Giorgina Uzcategui
Badell. Gaethje said he understands why Topuria’s wife divorced
him, as even he wouldn’t want to be roommates with “El Matador.”
Topuria did not take kindly to Gaethje’s personal dig at him.
Topuria responded:

“Justin crossed a line. What happened between my ex-wife and me is
our business. We may no longer be together, but she is the mother
of my daughter. To everyone insulting her or speaking about things
they know nothing about: show some respect. You don’t have to
respect our relationship. But respecting someone’s mother should be
one of the most basic codes in life. Be better.”

Gaethje then reminded Topuria that it all started with the
undefeated Georgian-Spaniard promising to knock him out in front of
his father.

“Proving my point. Insufferable little bitch boy. Never said a
thing about your wife. You want to speak words to my father then
act like I crossed some line. We already fighting buddy.”

However, Topuria said that Gaethje’s father was the one who first
called him a “short guy.” Topuria promises to knock out the
“highlight” and confront his father about the comment.

“You should’ve kept your father out of this. He was the one calling
me a short guy and saying you’d smash me, all while holding a beer
in his hand. Then you started talking about my divorce and telling
the world you wouldn’t want to be my roommate. Idiot. First, we’re
fighting, not dating. Second, I’m not looking for a roommate. When
I put you to sleep and you’re lying there next to the rose, I’ll
look at your father and ask him one simple question: Who’s the
short one now? I’m gonna break you Justin.”
