Topuria has never been shy about calling out McGregor, and the Irishman has responded in kind, mostly through jabs online. However, the idea of a McGregor fight with Topuria is still a fantasy.

They fight in different divisions, and McGregor hasn’t been active since July 2021. That being said, between Topuria’s unbeaten run and McGregor’s unmatched star power, several fans see the potential of a blockbuster clash.

When Conor McGregor congratulated Ilia Topuria on his win with a subtle dig

Conor McGregor took to social media to react to Ilia Topuria's knockout win against Charles Oliveira to win the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317 with a playful dig. He also threw in a jab at Paddy Pimblett, referencing Topuria’s past insults toward the Liverpudlian.

That tweet was deleted within hours, but not before fans screenshotted and dissected every word. The post hinted at respect for Topuria’s rise but also carried undertones of ownership. McGregor pointed out that the belts Topuria now holds once belonged to him.

He took to X and wrote:

“Congrats on winning my old titles, Ilia! He said he's gonna rest his b*lls on Paddy[’s] head too hahah, fair play. Good LW [lightweight] scrap that one is as well imo [in my opinion]. UFC is back? Or still missing something? 3 KOs back-to-back is very good. No one can deny the knockout. I like [Topuria].”
