While Ilia Topuria continued to dominate the featherweight realm with his undefeated streak, his older brother Aleksandre Topuria is finally set to step into the Octagon. And just like the featherweight champion, ‘El Conquistador’ has promised to bring in support from both Spain and Georgia. However, the fighting community seemed to have a few doubts regarding the new UFC fighter.
And the most common thing that the world wondered about was the older brother’s love life. So is he actually married and has children? As ‘El Conquistador’ gets ready to join the ranks of the bantamweight contenders in the UFC, let’s try and get to know his family, shall we?
Who is Aleksandre Topuria’s girlfriend/wife?
Well, the top featherweight’s brother is one of those men who don’t like to disclose things about their family to the public. Topuria hasn’t really revealed anything about his romantic life. Therefore, it’s nigh on impossible to know who his wife is and whether he has children or not. However, the Georgian bantamweight contender’s social media profiles have a handful of pictures of him with a child and a lady that people claim to be his wife. But as per UFC.com, Topuria is indeed married and has a big family.
Well, Topuria’s Instagram page has exactly one photograph of him with a child. It’s a visual framed in Alicante, Spain, as the MMA fighter and the child get a tan on themselves. On the other hand, a TikTok video has gone viral on the internet where he was spotted with a woman. Needless to say, the netizens started thinking of her as Topuria’s significant other.
For reasons unknown to the public, Topuria went on a 6-year-long break from the fighting world after he lost his first fight in 2015. He fought thrice in 2021, 2022, and 2023, before taking another break for 2 years. And the reason why he stayed away from the UFC for so long? That’s a mystery that’s yet to be revealed by the Spaniard.
But what about the other members of his family? After all, Topuria does share the same blood as that of the UFC featherweight champion. Let’s take a look at the new bantamweight contender’s family.
Aleksandre Topuria’s family and early life
While the professional details of Topuria’s parents, Zara and InGa Topuria, is unknown, we can certainly say that his father had an inclination towards wrestling. And that’s how ‘El Conquistador’ began his journey in the world of mixed martial arts. Talking to the UFC, he said, “My father took me to the gym when I was 5 years old.”
And being the elder brother to ‘El Matador’, the world expects highly of the 29-year-old bantamweight contender. In a conversation with MMA Junkie, he said, “The fact that Ilia and I share this sport, it demands a lot from me. He’s my main rival, my brother is, inside the gym. So yeah, he demands for me to be a better fighter and better person every day.”
Come UFC 312, we’ll witness ‘El Conquistador’ debut in the Octagon and fight Colby Thicknesse. With this being his very first bout in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, we can expect the Georgian mixed martial artist to come forth with an action-packed game plan, with the aim to rise victorious and extend his 3-fight win streak.
Of course, it’d be his family who’d cheer the loudest for the bantamweight debutant. Do you think that support would be enough to get him a win in Australia? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
