Madrid, February 23, 2024 – The President of the Supreme Sports Council (CSD), José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, received this Friday at the headquarters of the organization the UFC featherweight world champion Ilia Topuria.
“I am full of gratitude for this recognition from the Supreme Sports Council and for the fact that its President José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes receives me personally,” said Ilia Topuria, the first Spaniard to win this mixed martial arts championship.
Topuria won the belt a few days ago after defeating UFC legend, Australian Alexander Volkanovski, by knockout in the second round.
“I always strive, regardless of my sporting achievements and goals, to be a motivation for new generations of athletes. “I want them to recognize in me the value of persistence,” he noted.
Ilya Topuria took advantage of her visit to the CSD to explore the facilities of the Madrid High Performance Center, where more than fifty athletes from different disciplines joined in the recognition given to her today by the Supreme Sports Council.
“The best conditions are at your disposal, so take advantage of them. Believe in yourself,” he commented to the numerous athletes who wanted to accompany him. Many of them are martial arts practitioners of various specialties who train every day in the CAR in Madrid.
