Conor McGregor’s Recent Twitter Activity
Conor McGregor, the renowned Irish mixed martial artist, has been quite active on Twitter lately. In one of his recent ‘Twitter nights,’ he took aim at Ilia Topuria, a Spanish mixed martial artist. McGregor’s tweet, which has since been deleted, sparked a lot of attention.
McGregor’s Comments on Ilia Topuria
The context behind McGregor’s tweet is related to the difficulties in organizing a UFC event in Spain. Lukasz Orzel, Ilia Topuria’s agent, mentioned in a Polish media outlet that finding available dates in suitable venues is proving to be a challenge. Additionally, the UFC’s preference for smaller venues over stadiums is also a contributing factor.
McGregor’s Response to Ilia Topuria’s Agent
In response to a Twitter post about the situation, McGregor tweeted, “I wouldn’t fill it either (Ilia Topuria, a stadium, ed.). No chance.” This message was later deleted, but not before it gained significant attention.

The Uncertain Future of UFC in Spain
The Santiago Bernabéu, a prominent stadium in Spain, seems less likely to host a UFC event due to the current organizational challenges. Dana White, the UFC president, may opt for a smaller venue like the WiZink Center in Madrid instead.
The Ongoing Rivalry Between McGregor and Topuria
The rivalry between McGregor and Topuria continues to grow, but a potential fight between the two seems unlikely. Topuria has expressed his disinterest in fighting McGregor, citing his disagreement with McGregor’s values. Furthermore, McGregor’s return to the UFC octagon appears uncertain, leaving the fate of this rivalry unresolved.
