"In recent months, I have been subjected to severe and unacceptable pressure, including threats to disseminate false allegations of domestic abuse unless financial demands were met. These allegations are entirely unfounded. The truth is not a matter of opinion - it is a matter of evidence,"
"All relevant evidence has been carefully preserved and documented, including audio recordings, written communications, witness statements, and video material. This evidence has been submitted to the appropriate judicial authorities in order to pursue legal action for attempted extortion, falsification of evidence, misappropriation of funds and personal property, and multiple threats."
"My initial decision to remain silent was made solely to protect my children, who are the most important part of my life. However, I have come to understand that silence, under these circumstances, does not protect the truth - it allows false narratives to take hold."
Ilia Topuria announced a leave from the UFC to focus on his personal life while facing false allegations of domestic abuse. He reports threats demanding money in exchange for not disseminating false accusations and describes the allegations as entirely unfounded. All audio recordings, written communications, witness statements, and video material have been preserved and submitted to judicial authorities to pursue legal action for attempted extortion, falsification of evidence, misappropriation of funds and personal property, and multiple threats. His initial silence aimed to protect his two children, but he now speaks out to prevent false narratives. He has split from his wife and previously recorded eight consecutive featherweight wins including knockouts of Volkanovski and Holloway before moving to 155 pounds.
