Ilia Topuria recently made headlines with a stunning victory at UFC 308, where he defended his featherweight title against Max Holloway. Following this victory, Topuria expressed his dream of hosting a UFC event at Real Madrid’s iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. He has even reached out to UFC President Dana White to discuss making this dream a reality.
Ilia Topuria’s connection to the Bernabéu is personal; he is a lifelong fan of Real Madrid and had the opportunity to experience the stadium atmosphere earlier this year when he attended a match after winning the title from Alexander Volkanovski. The recent renovations to the stadium, including a new roof, have made it even more suitable for large events. An AI-generated visualization by Casasdeapuestas.bet has depicted what such a UFC event might look like if it were held there in 2025.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, with a capacity of nearly 78,300. This would be a significant milestone for Ilia Topuria, who wants to bring glory back to the stadium through his fights. His recent knockout of Holloway has sparked excitement about the possibility of a UFC event in Spain, something that Dana White seems eager to pursue. He acknowledged that Ilia Topuria’s performance has increased interest in bringing the UFC to Spain and indicated that they are working on logistics for such an event.
Dana White explained:
“I want to go to Spain as bad as Spain wants us to come, so we’re working on it. We’ll get it done there. There’s never been a time where we said we’re going to do something and we don’t do it. We figure it out, and we’ll get it done. It’s important for me to go to Spain in ’25, so we’ll figure it out. This business is star driven, so when we have a South African (champion like Dricus Du Plessis), we want to get to Africa.
“When we have somebody from Spain, we want to get into Spain. Georgia, yes – the answer is yes. We haven’t looked into that yet or what it would take to pull off an event near there.
“We’re still trying to figure out Spain with the arena situation. But when you look at the performance that Topuria had tonight, we need to get to Spain and figure it out. If we have to (go to a stadium), we will. I’d prefer not to. All the arenas were booked up. We’re trying to figure it out. But if I have to go to a stadium (for Topuria in Spain), we will” [Ht MMA Junkie]

Former UFC light heavyweight champion ‘The Iceman’ Chuck Liddell would have loved to have a matchup against the all-time great ‘Bones’ Jon Jones in the octagon.
The US-born Chuck Liddell was a striker in the UFC who was feared for his impressive punching power. Throughout his MMA career, he was able to capture the light heavyweight world championship and defend it in four bouts. He is a UFC Hall of Fame athlete due to his influence in coaching The Ultimate Fighter season 1 putting MMA into the mainstream. Additionally, he had blockbuster matchups against Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, and Quinton ‘Rampage‘ Jackson.
All-time great Jon ‘Bones’ Jones was able to capture the light heavyweight crown in 2011 and rack up a highly impressive 11 defenses of this title. Along the way, he defeated notable athletes such as Rashad Evans, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, Daniel Cormier, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Lyoto Machida, and Glover Teixeira, among others.
‘The Iceman‘ said that one of his biggest career regrets is not getting the matchup booked against Jon Jones. There was some overlap with Jones making his UFC debut in 2008 and Liddell fought in the UFC until 2010. However, ‘The Iceman’ was aging out by this point having earned a 0-3 in the UFC post 2008.
Regardless, Chuck Liddell still wanted the showdown and believed he would have given ‘Bones’ some problems. Speaking on the JAXXON PODCAST, Liddell explained:
“That’s why I always said I would’ve been a bad matchup for [Jones] cause I’m probably one of the few guys where he would have a hard time dictating where I fought him. You know, I would’ve fought him. He would’ve had to fight me standing up, he couldn’t outwrestle me. He couldn’t take me down…He wouldn’t have been able to take me down. He would’ve had to strike with me.”

These odds suggest that bookmakers and bettors see this as a very evenly matched contest, with Blanchfield having just a slight edge. The close odds are likely due to Blanchfield’s recent success and rising star status in the division, against Namajunas’ experience and championship background. However, the narrow margin indicates that oddsmakers believe Namajunas has a very real chance of pulling off the win, making this an unpredictable fight for fans.
Rose Namajunas is a former two-time strawweight champion who has recently moved up to the flyweight division. At 32 years old, Namajunas is looking to secure her third consecutive win in the new weight class after victories over Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez.
She’s known for her striking skills, particularly her crisp boxing and kicks. Namajunas has shown impressive resilience in her career, bouncing back from setbacks to reclaim championship status in the past. Typically, she brings a quick in-and-out striking style focused on her strong punches and is usually aggressive.
“Cold Blooded” Erin Blanchfield is a rising star in the flyweight division at just 25 years old. With a record of 6-1 in the UFC and 12-2 overall, Blanchfield is looking to rebound from her first UFC loss to Manon Fiorot in March, which was coming off of a great win streak in the UFC.
She’s a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with excellent grappling skills but has also shown command in striking. Blanchfield’s youth and rapid improvement make her a challenging opponent. She’s known for her aggressive, well-rounded fighting style.
This matchup is crucial for both fighters, as the winner could potentially position themselves for a title shot against the current champion, Valentina Shevchenko. “Bullet’ Shevchenko Shevchenko has commanded the flyweight division for several years. Her only title loss in this division was to Alexa Grasso, a loss that she later avenged.
