      one thing I dont understand is why are georgians proud of illia ?
      He literally left the country because that country could not give him what he needed.
      Every thing he earned is because of spain and because spain provided for him and his family.
      He is not your boy anymore,
      I understand the sentiment but once the country fails to acknowledge people like that or fighters like that, he wont be yours anymore.

      @@ankitpradhan4183 they migrated because of economic issues, but Sportwise he and his brother thought that it was all over for them, they wanted to become Olympic champions, but than they accidentally found Clemente club and parents asked them to give this sport a try, I mean mma. Yes Spain took them in, but if you think about it, Ilia made mma and UFC popular in Spain, cuz until last 2 years, they had no idea this sport even existed.
