At 27 years old, Topuria recently secured a victory against American fighter Max Holloway during UFC 308.
Interestingly, the Al-Nassr forward had previously expressed support for Holloway to win that bout.
Ronaldo, who is now 39, was also heard saying that Topuria talks too much while commenting on the Georgian-Spanish fighter’s bout against Alexander Volkov.
He said: “[Topuria] talks too much. I believe he [won] against Volk because Volk wasn’t ready due to that kick.
“He hasn’t faced the top fighters.”
In response, Topuria didn’t hold back with his reaction to the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star.
He asserted that Ronaldo can “go f*** himself” and expressed his intention to invite Lionel Messi to his next match instead.
During an interview on El Partidazo Cope, he stated: “I came across a clip of him saying that I just talk a lot.
“Cristiano always has something to comment on.
