Ilia Topuria Clarifies Jan. 7 Court Appearance as Custody Matter, Not Abuse Case

Spanish court materials say the session addresses temporary custody rather than guilt.

Overview

  • Topuria is scheduled to appear Jan. 7 at the Móstoles Violence Against Women court for interim measures on parental authority and his daughter’s travel.
  • The hearing will not examine criminal responsibility for alleged abuse, according to documents cited in recent reports.
  • His estranged wife, Giorgina Uzcategui, has filed complaints alleging domestic and gender-based violence and later reported escalating online threats with evidence submitted to authorities, including medical notes citing anxiety treatment.
  • Topuria denies the accusations, says he initiated divorce proceedings, and alleges attempted extortion, stating he has preserved messages, audios, testimonies, and videos for the court.
  • Court records reviewing online harassment describe a widely shared doctored photo and reference Joe Rogan only to trace its dissemination, while Topuria remains on hiatus as the UFC moves forward with an interim lightweight title fight on Jan. 24.
