“I didn’t expect someone like you to be incapable of distinguishing between confidence and arrogance” — this was <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/cristiano-ronaldos-whim-dinner-with-georgina-by-private-plane-to-a-restaurant-in-madrid-soccer-curiosities/" title="Cristiano Ronaldo's whim: dinner with Georgina by private plane to a restaurant in Madrid | Soccer curiosities”>Ilia Topuria‘s reaction to the Portuguese’s criticism
Ilia Topuria, UFC featherweight champion, didn’t like hearing Cristiano Ronaldo say he “talks too much”, as he envisioned his defeat to Max Holloway… which wouldn’t happen, with the Spaniard being declared the winner by technical knockout.
Spaniard became the first fighter to beat the American by KO and retains title
«He talks too much and he wasn’t up to the task. I think when he defeated Volkanovski, Volk wasn’t prepared because of that kick [de Makhachev]and did not recover. But Topuria didn’t fight top guys. If you beat Max, I will respect you. Holloway has never been defeated by KO, so I think it will be difficult”, said Cristiano Ronaldo at the time.
I didn’t expect someone like you to be unable to distinguish between confidence and arrogance. But, at the end of the day, we all reflect our own reality onto others. I wish you the best for what remains of your career, and God bless your family. https://t.co/cGWYvCs2tr
