Reality shock? Businessman shoots Topuria after comparisons with McGregor — Jiu-Jitsu Federation, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation

Jiu-Jitsu Federation: The frequent comparison between Ilia Topuria and Conor McGregor is back on the agenda behind the scenes of the UFC, but this time accompanied by a direct advice. Ali Abdelaziz, manager of Justin Gaethje — the athlete responsible for ending the invincibility of the Georgian living in Spain at the UFC White House in June — used his social networks to analyze the posture of the former featherweight (66 kg) and lightweight (70 kg) champion and warn about the search for a own identity in sport.

In a post on his profile on the ‘X’ network (formerly Twitter), the controversial agent said that trying to emulate the Irishman's trajectory may not be the best way. In addition, he took the opportunity to advise Topuria in search of his own identity.

“And he keeps quoting his name, comparing himself to Conor. First of all, you're not Conor. You'll never be Conor. In fact, you might even be a better person than he is, because i think Conor did a lot of things that I don't respect. Just be who you are. Don't try to be someone else. You saw what happened at the White House. Don't go that way. Focus on being yourself, because that's the only version of you that people will respect, ”he wrote.

The businessman's statement touches on a sensitive point of the moment experienced by ‘El Matador’. After reaching the top of Ultimate with an aggressive style and confident statements, the athlete began to deal with questions about the excess of allusions to the biggest star in the organization's history.

Recalling the outcome of the fight against Gaethje on the history card held on the White House lawn, Abdelaziz suggests that Topuria should focus on rebuilding his own trajectory within the octagon without seeking references in the public persona of ‘Notorious’. Since the defeat, Ilia has been out of focus and, to date, it is not known which will be your next step in the organization.
