"Of my entire list of dreams, fulfilling this one has exceeded all my expectations. Children push you to bring out the best version of yourself, they make you strong, brave, committed, patient, capable... they add meaning and depth to life and only through them is it possible to unlock the purest and most beautiful love. unconditional that it exists. We have everything to teach them but at the same time they are great teachers."
Uzcategui continued:
"You are everything I always dreamed of but a thousand times improved. I love you a lot. Thank you my life for sharing your light with me and for choosing me as your mother🩷 With love, respect and admiration, Mother."

Ilia Topuria and Conor McGregor shoot down reports of fight talks
Ilia Topuria has hinted at moving up in weight, suggesting that he could look to face a lightweight contender before challenging for a second title. While he mentioned Charles Oliveira as a potential opponent, rumors began to surface that the featherweight champion could be the fighter to welcome Conor McGregor back to the octagon.
Both fighters took to X on Tuesday to shut those rumors down. 'The Notorious' was the first to respond, posting:
"The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon."
Topuria let out a post of his own just a few hours later, stating:
"The rumors of bout with mchicken are false. I don't fight nor am I interested in fighting with a rapist."
