Spanish Court Summons Ilia Topuria for Jan. 7 Hearing on Daughter’s Custody

Overview

• Ilia Topuria has been cited to appear on January 7 at the Juzgado de Violencia sobre la Mujer No. 1 in Móstoles near Madrid.
• Judicial documents indicate the hearing concerns protective measures over parental authority, guardianship or administration of assets for the couple’s one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, rather than testimony about the alleged injuries.
• Both sides dispute whether the mother may take the child abroad, with Topuria opposing the request and his camp saying he has not seen his daughter for months, while the other side says a supervised visit was offered and declined.
• Giorgina Uzcátegui filed a gender-violence complaint in November that remains under judicial review as divorce and custody issues proceed in parallel.
• Topuria publicly denies the abuse allegations, accuses his ex-partner of extortion and falsifying evidence, says he has provided materials to the court, and has paused defending his UFC title.
