Ilia Topuria Calls Out Terence Crawford for Using His Signature Walkout Song

Crawford says the walkout fit a Desperado theme, asserting he did not know the song was tied to Topuria.

Overview

  • Crawford entered to Cancion Del Mariachi from Desperado before his unanimous-decision win over Canelo Alvarez at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
  • Topuria, who has long used the track for UFC walkouts, posted that Crawford "walks out to MY song" and renewed a boxing challenge.
  • Crawford explained the selection as part of a Desperado-inspired outfit with a live performance and dismissed the overlap when told of Topuria’s association.
  • Speaking in Spain, Topuria said he wants to box and believes he can convince UFC CEO Dana White to support the plan.
  • MMA coverage cast a potential Crawford–Topuria crossover as unlikely for now given Crawford’s boxing opportunities and Topuria’s UFC title obligations.
