Ilia Topuria, the undefeated UFC featherweight champion, has made his first statement regarding his divorce.
Idman.Biz reports that the Georgian-born Spanish fighter considers the separation in his personal life a great disappointment.
Topuria stated that no one wanted to break up their family, especially when a little girl is growing up at home.
Due to family problems, the 29-year-old athlete took a break from his career for a while and was unable to defend his title.
As a result, Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett faced off for the interim belt, and the American fighter won.
It is noted that the fight between Gaethje and Topuria is expected to take place at a tournament to be held at the White House in the USA.
