UFC champion Ilia Topuria was gifted a new Aston Martin following his title victory over Alexander Volkanovski.

The Georgian-Spanish star knocked out Volkanovski at UFC 298 to dethrone long-reigning featherweight king.

Topuria has since shot to stardom with over 3.6million Instagram followers and a legion of new fans.

The newly-crowned champ paraded his 145lb title belt on the Bernabeu before Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Sevilla.

And he is even being gifted supercars.

Topuria was handed the keys to an Aston Martin DB12 at a dealership in the Spanish capital.

And he thanked the Aston Martin Madrid team as well as Fernando Alonso, suggesting the F1 legend could have been to thank for the present.

The car has a 4.0 TwinTurbo V8 engine, generating a top speed of 200mph and costs around £200,000 brand new.

Topuria has been likened to Irish icon Conor McGregor – and he even called for a passing of the torch bout.

He said: “Dana [White], it’s showtime, it’s time to take the UFC to Spain.

“And Conor McGregor, if you still have some b****, I will be waiting for you in Spain.”

UFC president White has sensationally opened the door to Topuria headlining at Madrid’s 80,000-seat stadium.

He said: “Yeah, we are definitely going to Spain. Who he is going to face, we don’t know yet.

“I have a lot of respect for Volkanovski; we will see how that plays out. But as long as there’s a venue, we are going to Spain. I like it.”
