Ilia Topuria Fires Shot at Conor McGregor: “I’m in Madrid March 7th – Come and Try to Do Something”
The war of words between Ilia Topuria and Conor McGregor has taken another explosive turn.
In a recent live appearance, Topuria directly addressed the former two division champion with a bold and unapologetic message. “I’m in Madrid March 7th. Come and try to do something,” he said, issuing what many fans see as a clear public challenge.
The statement instantly caught fire across social media, adding fuel to an already simmering rivalry between the reigning featherweight king and one of MMA’s biggest global superstars.

Topuria Turns Up the Heat on McGregor
Topuria has never shied away from calling out McGregor. Ever since capturing UFC gold, the Spanish Georgian star has made it clear that he wants the biggest names and the biggest fights. A showdown with McGregor would not only be financially massive but would also cement Topuria’s place as one of the sport’s premier attractions.
McGregor, who has been teasing a return to action, has yet to commit to a specific opponent or date. However, his name continues to hover around multiple potential blockbuster matchups.
By publicly stating his location and date in Madrid, Topuria appears to be daring McGregor to respond, whether verbally or physically. It is the kind of bravado that mirrors McGregor’s own rise to superstardom years ago.
While there is no official fight announcement between the two, the tension is undeniable. If the UFC senses enough momentum and fan demand, this rivalry could quickly evolve from social media jabs to a headline pay per view event.
For now, all eyes are on McGregor’s response. One thing is certain. Topuria is not backing down.
