Ilia Topuria backed by Spanish singer Omar Montes in bar fight
Earlier this week, security camera footage from a bar in Spain, showed undefeated UFC featherweight fighter Ilia Topuria getting into a fight while standing near an arcade game.
While the clip is short and without sound, initial reports stated that Spanish singer and former welterweight boxing champion Omar Montes was the man that Topuria had been feuding with.
According to a report from Sportsmanor.com, titled “Truth Behind Viral Video of UFC Fighter Ilia Topuria Getting Into a Bar Fight Along With Spanish Singer Omar Montes,” it appears that Montes was coming to the aid of Topuria after another man started the brawl with the UFC fighter.
