Giorgina Uzcategui Badell: What did Ilia Topuria's girlfriend say after 'El Matador's victory on June 24?

Giorgina Uzcategui Badell was present in Jacksonville, Florida to attend her boyfriend Ilia Topuria's fight against Josh Emmett in June 2023.

After Topuria's spectacular victory, Badell uploaded a picture of herself with the 27-year-old, hailing him as a 'champion' both inside and outside of the sport.

"My baby is the world champion. Every moment of sacrifice was worth it.... you are the child of God and I always accompany you to achieve this victory. In my eyes you have always been the champion of the world inside and outside the octagon but today once again, you show it to everyone!" wrote Giorgina Uzcategui Badell.

Topuria locked horns against Emmett in a five-round main event. 'El Matador' rose to the occasion and outclassed his opponent for the majority of the fight. The contest went the 25-minute distance and Topuria got his hand raised via a dominant unanimous decision. The three judges scored the fight 50-44, 50-42, and 49-45 in favor of the 27-year-old.

The bout was awarded the 'Fight of the Night' honors and both athletes took home an additional cheque of $50,000 each. The statement victory cleared every hurdle from Topuria's path of getting a title shot.

He is set to challenge reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298. The event will take place on Feb. 17, 2024, and 'El Matador' has promised to dominate Volkanovski inside the octagon. He plans to challenge Conor McGregor if he becomes the champion on Feb. 17.
