"Reporters crowded outside the Court of Violence Against Women in Mostoles on Wednesday as UFC champion Ilia Topuria arrived for a highly watched hearing linked to allegations made by his former partner. Footage shows Topuria surrounded by journalists as he briefly speaks before entering the courthouse, appearing calm and dismissing any wrongdoing. "There's nothing to it. I'm happy because I'm going to see my daughter again. So I'm not stressed at all, and I'm calm," the fighter said when asked about the accusations. Topuria's former partner, Giorgina Uzcategui Badell, also arrived at the courthouse separately, escorted by security, as media continued to monitor developments throughout the proceedings. The UFC lightweight champion is involved in divorce and custody proceedings with Uzcategui, who has accused him of domestic and gender violence, allegations he strongly denies. Later, he denied claims circulating online that he was facing criminal charges, explaining that the hearing concerned a family custody issue involving his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter."
