This next weekend, Ilia Topuria will be competing against Josh Emmett in the main event of his very first UFC event, which will take place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Topuria’s struggle will have a special supporter in the form of a Spanish athletic legend, and that supporter will be Topuria.
Topuria was born in Georgia to Georgian parents, but he migrated to Spain when he was a teenager, therefore he is a citizen of both countries. Topuria started his career and training in mixed martial arts in Spain. Topuria currently resides in Spain. In 2015, he made his debut in the professional world at a competition in the region.
According to reports, legendary Spanish defender Sergio Ramos and former Real Madrid captain Ferran Torres will both be present at the UFC event in Jacksonville. Ramos is scheduled to appear alongside FC Barcelona attacker Torres.

Fans were quick to make jokes about Ramos’ penchant to receive a red card during games due to his aggressive behavior on the field, which was also a source of humor for fans. A supporter wrote:
“He will find a way to get a red card” @SamueIDavid8 @dannyseguratv “He’ll find a way to get a red card” He will figure out a method to receive a red card number three.
Another supporter mentioned that:
Since Sergio Ramos enjoys causing injury to others, he ought to spend some time confined, as the saying goes. [translate through Google]

One fan made a sarcastic inquiry as to whether or not Gerard Pique, who was Sergio Ramos’ longtime teammate in the backline for the national team and who competed against FC Barcelona, would be attending.
“Are you going to have the real goat there?”

Sergio Ramos’ appearance at Ilia Topuria vs. Josh Emmett tipped to draw in Spanish fans
Sergio Ramos is an athlete who is known all over the world, and it is anticipated that the appearance of Sergio Ramos at the UFC Jacksonville event would bring in a fresh wave of fans, particularly from Spain.
Luke Thomas, a journalist, spoke on Twitter about the enormous social media following that Ramos had and how Ilia Topuria stands to benefit from it if he is successful against Josh Emmett. Topuria’s opponent in that match is Josh Emmett.
For those in the United States who are curious about how popular Sergio Ramos is, he has 59 million followers on Instagram. To put that into perspective, NFL standout Patrick Mahomes has fewer than ten percent of that total on the same site. In any case, a victory for Topuria at this point would indicate the company is on the cusp of realizing its full potential in Spain.
