Land tops In the glory of UFC After knocking out Charles Oliveira and proclaimed double undefeated champion, something that no one had achieved to date. Ilia had again in suspense Spacethere were those who got up early and others who did not lie down, but in both cases the objective was common: see the Topuria fight. The killer He is already one of the most influential athletes within our borders.
Has revolutionized the world of MMA In general, but the Spanish in particular. A sport that now has a audience similar to that of a match of Real Madrid in Champions When a few years ago I was in diapers. Fever fever among Spanish fans for the arrival of the UFC To Spain as a more representative example.
«If I had pushed it, we would surely have had an UFC in Spain, but at four or five in the morning, and I think no one would have enjoyed the event in its highest quality. The children would not endure awake, ”Topuria said from Las Vegas. The landing is waiting. There are intangibles that complicate it as a television contract, the prime time and especially the enclosure.
The latter has been the axis of the debate since the possibility of an event within the national soil emerged. Ilia has always liked the idea of being in Bernabéu, but Dana Whitepresident of the UFC, he has never finished convincing that option. The company's mandamás is more friends of the sand to offer the best possible experience to the viewer who pays the entrance.
«In the end if you put an octagon within the Bernabéuthe fighters look like ants from above. You have to sit with him, that his arguments of why he does not like and such … already the best good, he decides elsewhere at the end. But I will push for the Bernabéu, ”Topuria said after winning Holloway. He folded his bet after knocking Charles Oliveira. «I would love to be in the Bernabéu. It will happen in 2026, ”he said.
And Dana White, who was reluctant to the stadiums, now opens a possibility. «The goal is to go to Spain, we have been trying to go for some time. Bernabéu or Arena? We will see what is available and we will fix it»He said a day ago. The Bernabéu option wins adherents, also because the sand in Madrid, the Sports Palace and Madrid Arena, may have something small for an UFC event.
