Ilia Topuria’s troubles outside the cage continue to spiral as one of his former opponents chooses to respond with hostility in reaction to the Spaniard's ongoing legal battle.
Bryce Mitchell, who lost to Topuria in 2022, delivered a harsh public message following the lightweight champion’s claim that he is being extorted through false allegations of domestic abuse. Mitchell reacted to the issue through personal values and upbringing.
He accused Topuria of behavior he considers unforgivable and dangerous. Mitchell took to Instagram to react to his former opponent's situation and said:
“Remember when I fought Ilia? He won, and then afterwards, he got a pair of overalls and was making fun of me, because I run a farm and I run around in overalls, and he thought that was hilarious. Well, I got something for you. This is called the ‘Wife Beater Special.’ That’s right. I got my wife-beater on for Ilia Topuria. That b*tch puts his hands on a woman. You know, I grew up without a dad, never seen my dad, never will see my dad. And you know what? I’d rather not see my dad than have my dad there beating on my mom. Let me tell you something that’ll get you ki*led around these parts, son. That sh*t ain’t no joke. There ain’t nothing funny about it."Get the latest updates on One Championship Rankings at Sportskeeda and more
He added:
"I just had to let you know you’re a straight-up b*tch for that. And your brother’s a b*tch too. I’ll fight him. I’ll beat his ass. You got lucky. I was sick, or I would have beat your a*s, and, look, you don’t deserve to get to see your kid, son, because you put your hands on their mother. You’re a coward. That sh*t is sickening.”Check out Bryce Mitchell's comments below:
Bryce Mitchell urges Ilia Topuria to turn to faith amid controversy
Bryce Mitchell shifted his criticism of Ilia Topuria toward religion in the aforementioned rant. He asked Topuria to change his lifestyle and return to faith. Reacting to Topuria's situation on Instagram, he said:
“Ilia, you need to repent, return to Jesus Christ, and if you repent, you won’t rot in hell, bro. But you better really mean it, and you better really repent and probably stop drinking, too. You probably got a drinking problem, man. But return to Jesus Christ, you will be forgiven. And if not, you’re going to rot in hell, bro, because that’s where women beaters go. Wives ain’t like belts, okay?... You’re out, running around, working on your third wife now. Hell, you think they’re championship belts, and you’re trying to get three or four. You’re an idiot, dude. You need to take notes from a guy like me.”Topuria, meanwhile, has maintained his innocence and stepped away from competition. The UFC has scheduled an interim lightweight title fight in January, pitting Justin Gaethje against Paddy Pimblett.
