The fight between Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria is already heating up outside the octagon. In a recent interview, Gaethje went after Topuria’s personality and called him a “narcissist”.
“He’s a narcissist and believes everything he says. He sits there smelling his own farts and thinks he’s God. He’s human just like me”, Justin exclaimed.
The American was responding this way to months of statements from Topuria, who has predicted a knockout victory and even said that Gaethje “will fall like a tree” when he feels his punches.
Far from being intimidated, Gaethje maintained that Topuria has been wrong several times with his predictions and that he is prepared to take the fight to all five rounds if necessary.
