Gabriel Fly and Ilia Topuria wage in war of words; agree to “settle it” inside the cage

Gabriel “Fly” Miranda might be in the last weeks of his preparation for BRAVE CF 35 but that doesn’t mean that the jiu-jitsu black belt isn’t paying attention to its social media. So much so that a simple emoji from Ilia Topuria on Instagram sparkled a war of words between the two BRAVE CF Featherweights.

Topuria replied to an Instagram post with a chicken emoji. The message was not taken lightly by Gabriel Fly, who fired immediately after. “Hey Dwarf, come to Brazil, after fighting Morcego I will solve this issue with you right here. BRAVE CF, ‘The Dwarf’ Topuria and I, make it happen”, said the Brazilian.

The Spanish replied right away agreeing with the proposal. “BRAVE CF, yes, make this happen, I want to smash this boy”, wrote Topuria. Finally, Fly doubled down and proposed the inclusion of an interim belt in the mix. “I don’t need more than one minute to deal with you. Let’s make it happen, BRAVE CF, Interim Belt, Gabriel Fly vs ‘Little Dwarf’ Topuria”, he stated.

With 14 wins and only 5 losses, Gabriel Fly is scheduled to face his fellow countryman Rafael “Morcego” Silva on March 28th, at BRAVE CF 35, in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil. Meanwhile, Ilia Topuria, who boasts a perfect pro record of 8 wins and no losses, is waiting for his next challenge inside the cage, after beating Steven Gonçalves last November.
