Ilia Topuria Summoned to Court Amid Domestic Violence Allegations and Custody Battle
UFC fighter Ilia Topuria has been summoned to appear in the Court of Violence Against Women in Spain on January 7, according to recent reports. The hearing will focus on determining the custody arrangement for his daughter with ex-wife Giorgina Uzcategui, who currently resides with her mother. Giorgina has requested the court’s approval to leave the country with their child.
As reported by EL MUNDO, Giorgina has accused Ilia Topuria of domestic violence, family abuse, and injuries. Topuria has denied all allegations, stating that he has evidence to prove his innocence, including 24/7 footage from a documentary being filmed about him over the past two and a half years. The Georgian-Spaniard is currently taking a break from fighting and is expected to return to the octagon after the first quarter of 2026.
Background on the Split and Allegations
Ilia Topuria and Giorgina Uzcategui decided to split in August 2025, with negotiations over the breakup initially focusing on financial demands made by Giorgina. However, things took a turn when Giorgina filed an abuse complaint after discovering that Topuria had filed a separation filing. According to Y Ahora Sonsoles, Giorgina demanded a large amount from Topuria, which he agreed to meet. The situation has since escalated, with both parties involved in a custody battle over their daughter.
It’s worth noting that Ilia Topuria and Giorgina Uzcategui have a prenuptial agreement in place, as reported by ACD MMA. Giorgina currently resides in the family home with their daughter, as she has no other residence in Spain and most of her family lives in the USA or Venezuela. Topuria has visitation rights to his other child, Hugo, from a previous relationship, who currently resides with him.
Court Hearing and Next Steps
The upcoming court hearing on January 7 will aim to resolve the custody situation and determine the best course of action for the child. Ilia Topuria’s representatives and Giorgina Uzcategui’s legal team will present their cases, and the court will make a decision based on the evidence presented. The hearing is not intended to determine the validity of the domestic violence allegations but rather to focus on the child’s well-being and custody arrangement.
As the situation unfolds, fans and supporters of Ilia Topuria will be keeping a close eye on the developments. The UFC community has been following the story, with many expressing concern for the well-being of all parties involved, particularly the children. The outcome of the court hearing will likely have a significant impact on the lives of Ilia Topuria, Giorgina Uzcategui, and their children.
