Legendary Real Madrid player shows support for Spanish fighter at UFC 308

Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas was in attendance at UFC 308 to support Spanish fighter Ilia Topuria.

Topuria, who is from Alicante, Spain, defeated Jai Herbert in the second round of their lightweight bout. Casillas, who is a former goalkeeper for Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, was seen cheering on Topuria from cageside.

This is not the first time that Casillas has shown his support for Topuria. In 2021, he tweeted a message of encouragement to the fighter ahead of his UFC debut.

Topuria is one of the most promising young fighters in the UFC. He has a record of 12-0, with 10 of his wins coming by way of submission. He is currently ranked 15th in the UFC's lightweight division.

Casillas is one of the most decorated players in Real Madrid history. He won five La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, and two Copa del Rey titles with the club. He also won the World Cup and the European Championship with the Spanish national team.
