Ilia Topuria may be a fierce competitor in the octagon, but when it comes to his personal life, he prefers to keep things a bit more private. However, ahead of his highly anticipated title defense against Max Holloway, fans are curious about his better half—Giorgina Uzcategui. Giorgina, an influencer and entrepreneur, has been quietly supporting the UFC featherweight champion through his rise to the top.
Ilia Topuria may be a force in the octagon, but he’s also a dedicated family man. Married to Giorgina Uzcategui, the couple shares a son together.
Giorgina isn’t just known for being Topuria’s wife—she’s an entrepreneur in her own right, having founded ‘Future & Energy,’ a company focused on sustainable and eco-friendly living. With over 260,000 followers on social media, she’s built an impressive platform for herself.

Though they prefer to keep much of their personal life private, Ilia and Giorgina often share sweet moments together on social media. Giorgina is also a regular ringside supporter during his UFC fights, always there to cheer him on. It’s clear that the two are deeply supportive of each other, balancing the demands of their careers while maintaining a strong family bond.
So, it will be interesting to see if Uzcategui will be present cage side as Topuria prepares for arguably the toughest test of his UFC career so far, a title defense against a former champion and the current BMF champion Max Holloway.
Topuria, however, seems to be unfazed about the challenge in front of him and has a bold prediction for how it will end.
Topuria promises Gaethje-style brawl for Holloway
UFC 308 is almost here, and Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway are ready to settle their differences in the octagon for the featherweight title. Topuria, undefeated at 15-0, is confident he’ll not only retain his belt but also be the first to knock out former champ.
During a heated pre-fight interview, Topuria challenged Holloway to exchange strikes in the first 10 seconds of the fight, saying
“I challenge you to have that exchange in the first 10 seconds of the fight, and you will see what’s going to happen. When you face a fighter like me inside the octagon, who brings that technique and that power, you can’t do that. I’m going to take your head off if you do that.”
The Spaniard was referring to Holloway’s last-second KO of Justin Gaethje, where the Hawaiian asked Gaethje to get to the middle of the octagon and get into an all-out brawl.
Holloway, unfazed, responded with playful banter, insisting Topuria would be served a “churro” on fight night.
So yes, as one can imagine, Oct. 26 is going to be one of the most violent days in UFC history.
