The biggest game of the La Liga season so far takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. Real Madrid face Barcelona in El Clasico, and it promises to be a spectacular occasion. However, a celebrity supporter of Los Blancos will not be able to see.
Ilia Topuria is a top fighter in the UFC, and on Saturday night, he faces Max Holloway in the UFC featherweight world title fight. The match is due to start around 21:00 CET, which is the same time as El Clasico.
Topuria is not happy about this, and even “threatened” the president of the League, Javier Tebas, when speaking to the media on Wednesday, MD.
“Let's see if I made a mistake – instead of knocking out Holloway, I'm going to knock out the person responsible for putting that match at the same time and on the same day as my fight. Let's go for Javier Tebas, he's next.”
Topuria may not be able to look, but he will please his beloved Real Madrid from Abu Dhabi, where his fight takes place.
