Topuria, 27, won against American fighter Max Holloway at UFC 308.
However, the Al-Nassr star backed Holloway to win the bout.
Ronaldo, 39, was also caught on camera saying that Topuria talks too much when discussing the Georgian-Spanish star’s fight with Alexander Volkov.
He said: “[Topuria] Talks too much. I think when he [beat] Volk, Volk wasn’t ready because of that kick.
“He didn’t fight the top guys.”
Topuria has now hit back at the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star.
He has insisted that Ronaldo can “fuck himself” and claimed he would instead invite Lionel Messi to watch his next fight.
he told El Partidazo Cope: “I saw a clip where they said I was all talk.
“Cristiano, he always has something to say.

“I’m going to personally invite Messi because he lives there.
“I would like to fight the number one contender, which is Charles Oliveira.
“We have Messi, Ronaldo can deceive himself.”
Meanwhile, the featherweight champion has revealed he will be moving up weight classes moving forward.
He said: “Yeah, definitely, I’m moving up to lightweight.
“Now it’s time to enjoy what I do, we’re quitting weight loss.
“I learned from Sergio Ramos about eating once a day; sometimes we train together. He’s doing it hard.
“I have been training well, after Christmas I will do some special training.
“Miami was mentioned but I don’t know, I still have some negotiations pending.
‘I’m clear about how I want to do it: I would like to go to the next category and against Charles Oliveira.
“Because Islam Makhachev, who is the champion, is fighting in January and won’t be able to get there in April.”
Topuria is undefeated in the UFC since his debut in October 2020.
