  • Sports Topuria knocks out Volkanovski in the second round and becomes the first Spanish UFC champion

The Government spokesperson,

Pilar Alegría,

announced at the press conference after the Council of Ministers that the Executive has granted Spanish nationality to the UFC world champion

Ilia Topuria.

A few days ago, Pedro Sánchez himself promised the mixed martial arts featherweight champion that his wish of having a

Spanish ID

would soon come true when he received him at the Moncloa after winning the world title after defeating the Australian Alexander Volkanovski.

The Hispanic-Georgian fighter lived in Spain but did not yet have a Spanish ID and the president promised on his Twitter account: "Your love for Spain will be reflected in your Spanish ID."
