Cristiano Ronaldo told to ‘go f*** himself’ by UFC champion who invites fierce rival Lionel Messi to his next fight
Topuria will not fight in his current class again
CRISTIANO RONALDO has been told to “go f*** himself” by UFC Champion Ilia Topuria.
The two sporting stars have become embroiled in a war of words after Ronaldo’s prediction of one of his fights.
Topuria, 27, came out victorious against American fighter Max Holloway at UFC 308.
However, the Al-Nassr star had backed Holloway to win the bout.
Ronaldo, 39, was also caught on camera saying that Topuria talks to much when discussing the Georgian-Spanish star’s fight with Alexander Volkov.
He said: “[Topuria] speaks too much. I think when he [beat] Volk, Volk wasn’t ready because of that kick.
“He didn’t fight with the top guys.”
Topuria has now hit back at the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star.
He has insisted that Ronaldo can “go f*** himself” and claimed that he will invite Lionel Messi to watch his next fight instead.
He told : “I saw a clip where he said that I’m all talk.
“Cristiano, he always got something to say.

“I’m going to personally invite Messi because he lives there.
“I would like to fight the number one contender, who is Charles Oliveira.
“We have Messi, Ronaldo can f*ck himself.”
Meanwhile, the featherweight champion has revealed that he will be moving up the weight categories moving forward.
He said: “Yes, for sure, I’m moving to lightweight.
“Now It’s time to enjoy what I do, we’re leaving the weight cut.
“I learned about eating once a day from Sergio Ramos; sometimes we train together. He’s been doing it hard.
“I am training well, after Christmas I will do some specific training.
“Miami was mentioned but I don’t know, I still have a couple of conversations pending.
‘I am clear about how I want to do it: I would like to move up to the next category and against Charles Oliveira.
“Because Islam Makhachev, who is the champion, is fighting in January and will not be able to be there in April.”
Topuria is unbeaten in the UFC since he made his debut in October 2020.
