UFC lightweight champion, Ilia Topuria, will be heading to the Court of Violence against Women on Jan 7. in Mostoles, Spain, following a criminal complaint filed by his estranged wife, Giorgina Uzcategui Badell.
That’s according to a report from El Mundo.
Next week’s court appearance will not address Badell’s accusations but instead deal with the custody of their daughter, who currently resides with Badell and Badell’s grandmother. The court is expected to rule in favor of “the best interests of the minor.”
In addition, UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, was named in the complaint against Topuria after the “Experience” podcaster shared a doctored image of Badell, calling her a “monster” who was “trying to steal his soul.”
”She has all the evidence in her favor,” sources told El Mundo. “She was the one who took the initiative to divorce [and] as soon as the truth is known, everything that Giorgina has happened with him will be known.”
Topuria, who has a son from a previous relationship, married Badell in 2024.
