Featherweight champion Toupuria was a special guest of honour at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday as Los Blancos took on Sevilla. The Georgian-born fighter, who now lives in Alicante, conquered the world when extending his perfect record to 15-0 with a sensational knockout win over Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298.

WHAT HAPPENED?

UFC CEO Dana White has suggested that Topuria could defend his title at the Bernabeu, and over 81,000 were on hand to welcome him to that stage ahead of a La Liga clash with Sevilla. Topuria mingled with the stars while in the Spanish capital, with ex-Real skipper Sergio Ramos among those to pose for a photo.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte519e27b3180b0df/ufc_2.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte519e27b3180b0df/ufc_2.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blte519e27b3180b0df/ufc_2.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Sergio Ramos Ilia Topuria" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blte519e27b3180b0df;width:462;height:769"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

England international Bellingham, who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-back-real-madrid-return-date-ankle-injury-20-goal-midfielder-miss-la-liga-champions-league-fixtures/blt4d105482d2f1155f" target="_blank">currently ruled out through injury</a>, also got in on the act alongside team-mates Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and Eder Militao. Real president Florentino Perez was another to meet with Topuria.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt97c2ecf863cc958f/ufc_1.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt97c2ecf863cc958f/ufc_1.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt97c2ecf863cc958f/ufc_1.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Jude Bellingham Ilia Topuria" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt97c2ecf863cc958f;width:467;height:773"></picture>

DID YOU KNOW?

Real did not put on a dazzling performance for their special guest against Sevilla, but did show that they have plenty of fighting spirit themselves as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-sevilla-luka-modric/blt29b7d91145987bda" target="_blank">ground out a 1-0 win courtesy of Luka Modric’s late goal</a> – with that success pulling them eight points clear of Clasico rivals Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
