Yeah bro this shit happens everytime. First they believe that then they say Islam only fights smaller fighters. It's a lose lose for Makhachev@@DailyTrucking101
Submit vs Submit,ilia will lose to islam. Ilia only chance is from standing,a combo crack setup,only to dizzy out islam,is the only chance for ilia to submit islam.No way from grappling on the canvass.
When Charles Oliveira beat all the big contenders, Chandler, Poirier, Gaethje, the media all thought he could beat Khabib, but we all saw how easy Islam beat him, they also pushed Falk and it never worked. Topuria is good but not as good as Islam
I dunno man, Volk gave some problems to Islam back in the day and ilia proved he is like a better version of Volk everywhere. Maybe its more like islam is good but not as good as Topuria.
Islam isnt’t Khabib. Khabib’s more bullish with takedowns which IMO, is more suffocating. Ilia wouldn’t be able to relax. Against Islam, who likes to strike more and gets tagged, it might turn out different. Islam’s fight against Dustin showed how human he is.
Khabib never even bled in the octagon, lost only a couple of rounds in his whole career, Islam had two hard fights Volk and Poirier, they're not the same, Islam is a top notch talent and can beta topuria but let's be honest people knew Khabib was going for the takedown but couldn't defend.
Ilia like Islam does best work against the cage before knocking people out. Problem is Islam is waaaay to skilled, if ilia closed distance, Islam will clinch him, if he’s boxing range, Islam has crazy defence and counter attacks, if he grabs him against the cage, Islam will reverse and ilia is gonna eat a lot of knees, if ilia tries to move in fast and close the distance he’s gonna get caught either in way in or Islam will collar tie and ilia will eat a lot of knees again… Islam isn’t Max or Volk… he’s p4p no 1
@ he isn’t explosive in terms of speed. He is a crazy powerful puncher but he isn’t Conor fast even tho he’s a better fighter, bcuz if u put him and Conor for example Conor will always land first in terms of speed and accuracy.
Max was faster illia takes time to load up power shots. If you look at the fight max landed so many hits illia kept eating them that’s why some people were saying max was up 2 rounds.
Islam hasn’t really had a proper title defense in his own weight class yet, and fighting Ilia isn’t the right move. But Ilia made Volk look easy, while Islam seriously struggled against Volk.
It's a good thing for Islam that he already fought a 145 moving up twice, gives him a legit excuse to avoid Topuria..Which he should probably do..Getting inside on Islam won't be easy though, that's for sure, but Topuria could do it..He should get some more cage time though..
Islam probably fight clinch, take Topria down maul him and make him tired. Then power is gone. Islam has very good defence and he will mix kicks, punches, take downs etc. He is really well rounded. Volk & Max tried to box with him and got caught. Islam will be mixing it up and his wrestling is elite level. Just a punchers chance. This is like Conor vs Khabib.
Makhachev is not "avoiding" Topuria. Topuria shouldn't be fighting Makahchev in the first place. That's the thing. Makhachev will be in a lose-lose situation everytime a fighter from a weight below enters the octagon with him. If he fights another featherweight, people will call him out on that, even if he wins. And if he loses, his career is over, basically. The people advocating for this fight to happen will be the firsts to s*** on Makhachev afterwards. Volk fight is the perfect example of that. Islam didn't win ANYTHING by beating Volkanovski. People don't even mention the 2 Volkanovski fights in Makahchev's resume. That superfight was only there to get rid of Islam as a champion and make Volk vs Oliveira in Brazil. Oliveira pulling out at UFC 294 and Gaethje getting KO'ed by Holloway f**** up the LW division. Sam with Gamrot losing to Dan Hooker... If Makhachev beats Tsarukyan, he has to fight the winner of Oliveira vs Chandler 2 (if Oliveira wants it...), OR move up and fight Shavkat for the double-champ opportunity. Chasing the Topuria fight is complete nonsense at the moment. If Makhachev accepts it, then he's f***** stupid.
@@MasterBettyProBettingTips Topuria down? Good luck with that, his TDD is insane, almost perfect %, ilia get tired? Again, good luck with that, only ppl who dont know how ilia fight can say that, he have better cardio than max, the "infinite fuel tank" "the best chin". Everyone can fight ilia until they cant.
Im an islam fan. Islam will accept the fight. Topuria will lose his legacy just like Volk did when he faces islam. Topuria will regret it. He has alot to risk, so if he thinks it's a win win he should re-evaluate himself.
He doesn’t have anything to risk. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose because he’s moving UP a weight class to fight the guy who may turn out to be the goat of the sport.
@@tvhead7074 Still, Volk lost his invinciblity aura by losing to Islam. The image is burned in the back of people's minds. If Ilia gets subbed or KO'd he will lose his win streak and that will be a highlight reel. Pychologically this plays a big role in fans perception of the fighter.
@@derschutz4737 Only casuals think Volk gained aura after the first fight. Islam was setup by the UFC to be dehydrated and he still beat Volk 4-1. The fans that knew about the short rehydration window, Volks loss in the first fight was actually way worse than it looked.
If UFC wants another euphoria comes to an end (after Charles' and Volks') then put that guy against Makachev. We Makachev fans wouldn't mind it. Maybe people think Makachev was shitting his pants watching Topuria ko-ing a pure striker.? Lmao 😂😂
As an islam fan i do mind it. Too many people hate on Islam for fighting volk twice when he was p4p 1. Islam got 0 credit. If illia goes on a run moves up to 55 beats a top contender then fights islam im okag with it as long as hes moving to lw not just immediate title shot and going kback to 45. Islam will move up after another 2 defense's as long as Bellal isnt champ anymore. Then usman can come to ufc and show hes as good or better than islam.
totally agree with Josh. build yourself up. conquer your division. cultivate your value. make people beg for you to move up. then reaaally get paid for it.
Topuria gets hit. He takes damage. But his offense has not been matched to this date. I don’t think the taller MMA fighters will beat him. At 145 anyways.
Yup, yup. "Charles jiu-jitsu will dominate him" "charles p4p king will KO him with a kick" "he doesnt have charles jiu jitsu skills (which he doesnt and almost squeezed him to death)" blah blah blah. "Ilia will punch him to sleep". There were go again, people underestimating Islam power like always.
Also let’s be real here if Topuria goes up to either 155 or 170 and loses, he’s still a champ at 145 so there’s a huge upside for him going up and up because he isn’t putting his belt on the line and if he does win, he may eclipse McGregor popularity if that’s even possible
What happened to volk who btw was over 35 when he started to lose has nothing to do with what might happen to Ilya because every fighter is different in terms of confidence and recovery has to be better at 27 than it is at 35 if Topuria goes up and loses
I'd like to see Juan Manuel Marquez counter punching and dropping Ilia😂. It's not apples to apples but Ilia is already talking about doing professional boxing.
They give you this fight when they are both over the hill like they always do. Look at all the big names that fought anderson but only after he was over the hill
Tbh it’s not that crazy that Topuria is talking about skipping 155 and moving to challenge at 170 as Bellal has to be an easier fight than Islam with all due respect… after all, Bellal has zero knock downs in his career and yes he finds ways to win but the level of danger he brings is minimal or at least much less than Islam. There’s a reason that the majority of Bellal’s wins are by decision.
Firstly, Evloev dodged a fight vs Ilia. When talking about it, it’s worth a mention. Ilia said that he wants to submit Makhachev and they talked shi before this fight. In my opinion, if Islam has not evolved after first volkanovski fight, its easy for Ilia. And thirdly, when it comes to the welterweight, Belal is a small champ, shorter than Max and prefers to stay in a pocket range, where Ilia can take his head off. Ilia cuts around 20-25 pounds for the featherweight. With this being said, Ilia is naturally a welterweight when not fighting, so he won’t have to cut. Considering all these, its a massive chance that he becomes a real Triple C. Lets go
What if, Topuria is calling out Islam to keep the conversation about him going and bring more attention to him, but he’s not going 155 to fight Islam? That could be his strategy.
3 fights for illia at 145 I think make sense are Lopez, Movsar and arnold Allen I think he probably beats them but Movsar is a good fight to think more about. Aljo good fighter but I think he will be finished if he fights illia sub or KO.
Ilia's game mostly count on his hard punch, but to do so....he left little gap to counter, that is his up and side head. And to counter his aggressiveness is to maintain distance and utilized more kick....jai herbert shows that, but too bad he got that punch
Islam will never accept that fight , he already fought the 145 champion twice before and he stated many times that he’s going to move up. Fun fight but will never happen. Atleast from my pov.
Only reason why Islam may have an edge is becaouse he is bigger, and thats it. Ilia is better fighter. If he could stay on the feet, Ilia would ko Islam.
And better wrestler and grappler and soutpaw :D People laughing when he says 3 belts but he has better shot aganst Belal, Islam is better than Belal, they're almost same size. Belal won't be around though even if Ilia passes Islam
YALL BUYING ILIAS HYPE WAY TO MUCH.. ILIAS NEWST BANDWAGONER OF CASUAL FANS ARE MORE ANNOYING THAN THE CHARLES OLIVEIRIA BANDWAGONERS WE HAD IN 2023 😂😂
Topuria is a good fighter with knock out power. I like his confident. But don’t forget Islam can knock Topuria out too. Pay big pay cheque to Islam & make this super fight happen UFC. Islam will tarnish Topuria record, in sya Allah☝🏼
The way Islam beats Topuria is the same way he beat volk in the second fight - head kick KO. We all Jai Herbert almost finishing Ilya with a head kick and just didn’t have enough submission threat or ground and pound once he dropped him but Topuria has always been susceptible to getting head kick KO
Islam can not only submit illia but also knock him out easy. People don’t understand, if you are not fighting dagistani /chechan/kazak rest all are wack.
@ Yea everyone says that, Iliiya got belt because of Islam, Islam broke Volks and Volks was never the same after and then Illia won. Illia won’t even fight Islam , the only reason Illia is bad mouthing so that he can Avoid Movsar who is in his division as Illia knows ufc won’t make cross divisional fight yet.
"there's no way he knocks out Max Holloway" ilia Knocked out Max Holloway at his absolute Prime. "there's no way he submits Makhachev"... trust me, he will submit him. if he says he will. he will.
Movsar is 18.0 and he's the one whom only deserve that fight volk come up From 2 loses have title shit and someone 18.0 I can't have a title shot that dana white can't understand is he scared that all ufc champion become Russian those guys are different breeds they deserve it all the respect
The problem with Islam vs Topuria even if Islam wins everyone is going to say well he’s a bigger guy he’s a P4P #1 he’s supposed to win so it’s a lose - lose proposition for Makhaschev
The thing is, they are two best fighters standing next to each other and people want to see that fight. We don’t wanna see Ilia with two belts. We will see him beating Islam. It won’t be the same if he beats another LW. Only people against that fight are Islam fans fearing Ilia’s power. There is no other reason to not make that fight next.
Islam will never accept, plus has nothing to win... At best he could win the bmf title if illia put it on line, otherwise islam will move up... TRUST ME ON THA
Everyone wants Illia get a chance to fight Islam. Islam doesn't get anything from it. everyone will say he won against another featherweight. If he losses than he lost against a featherweight. Even Dana discredits Islam everywhere he goes.
ilia and tsaruykan are the same height, and would definitely be the same size should ilia move up to lightweight. arman did super well against islam especially in physicality. not saying ilia can beat islam for sure but it wouldn’t necessarily be because islam is “way too big” for him
@@eddybolanos-o3nARMANS FIRST FIGHT WITH ISLAM.IS HIGHLY OVERRATED... WHAT DID ARMAN DO TO TROUBLE ISLAM? ISLAM 30-27'D HIM.. ARMAN LEGIT DID NOTHING IN THEIR FIRST BOUT 😂
Islam could not summit Volk, and I Do not see Islam outboxing Ilia. This is the fight to make, to see who has more tools, and if both grappling are neutralized, it goes to strike.
Islam should have lost to Volk in the first fight. The 2nd fight he got a nice kick that took Volk out. Ilia showcased how good he was against Volk when they went toe to toe. Ilia is a huge problem for Islam. This is not a guaranteed win for Islam. I think Ilia could beat him.
Islam is bigger, he got 3 inches on him. He's a natural lightweight. He's the most elite wrestler in the Ufc with khamzat. I don't care how elite of a boxer you are, Islam is a serious problem fro any lightweight and definitely for a featherwieight
Why we alwayes give à chanse to fatherwight champions to moveup to 155 p and became double champ esily we saw it with connor it works undersatns big super star he is .also volkanski devends coupl times his title and no one clear conterder in 155 division but now ilia Just has 8 win in ufc .great work by finish 2 goats in 145 in same yerar but fact he has Just 1 title défense ever he béat volk fo reamtch sitll not desrveit because islam if win over arman he Will 4 title défense and try to change shafkat if he Will champion so ilia stiil has work to do there is couplé good guys déco lopes mosver volk and after that think to move up its works for connor even if you get chanse islam is not the same level of edi alvrez mush better so cry about it and hepe our muslim champ be first muslim double champ inchallah
Islam ran out of gas with striker Dustin. Max is 5’11” and Ilia slept him slowly. Islam gasses out after getting hit repeatedly we saw that with Dustin and just as he might get the win Islam submitted him. Can’t overlook that Ilia also has excellent ground game. Alex should have been winner of first fight and gave Islam a great fight.
the fact is that ufc will protect illia from islam. no way ufc will risk their money making machine from spain to fight & lose to Islam. Maybe in 2 years time or maybe illia vs usman during that time
I watched an interview he did with a mma RUclipsr from Spain, illia said his ground game is better then his striking/boxing but he doesn’t like using it because he wants to make the fights fun and exciting for the fans, who knows if that’s true but I have a feeling it is because he only started striking regularly when he got to the UFC. Scary thought 😬
@ i don’t think he skips wrestling days in training bro, he took down max really easily then let him up just to screw with his mind. I’m confident in saying that because he promised a ko no way he was wasting time keeping him on his back
@ training wrestling is something and actually using it dominantly in a fight is completely different. Justin is an ncaa d1 wrestler btw topuria isnt .
@@malvarez8484bro are you really believing that? he wanted to hold max the whole round to really give him a reason to worry in the next round, he didnt "let him stand up" wtf are you on
Ilia is also a wrestler grappler first just show cases his striking more now lets stop acting like hes not well rounded af probably the most well rounded in the ufc hes good everywhere
SO WHAT? HE KO'D VOLK AND MAX AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT MEANS HE CAN BEAT ANYONE? HE PREDICTED 2 OUTCOMES RIGHT WHICH MEANS HE WIL ALWAYS PREDICT CORRECTLY? STFU WITH UR BANDWAGONING.. ILIA WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE BEAT ALEX AND MAX.. AGAINST ISLAM HE SIMPLY CANT DO IT..
Why these two complete clowns in my recommendations? After enormous bias against ankalaev and other caucasian fighters how one actually can listen to these two. Blocking this bs
these guys don’t know shit about mma, Ilia will destroy islam, 1st or 2nd round knockout, very easy fight. Also he beats the shit out of evloev as well
If illia fight islam early retirement baby..islam is other level..illia has a power good boxing skills.but islam complete fihter..yes anything can happen in the fight. if that reason bring in islam fight .islam lot of options how to beat illia..
He made a mistake 8 years ago and got clipped. Come on bro? You think he didn't learn anything? You think he didn't get better? Islam would maul little Ilia
@@Erumyr that's what they said when he knocked out Jai Herbert, they also said that before he knocked out Max..And Max is in the same weight class as Islam.. You're cooked
Sure. Ilia will knock out a fighter who is not only from a higher weight class, but a guy who submitted the best submission artist, ko’d the p4p champ, and won against one of the best all rounders. The delusion is unreal.

Yeah bro this shit happens everytime. First they believe that then they say Islam only fights smaller fighters. It's a lose lose for Makhachev@@DailyTrucking101
Bro Makhachev is like a Middleweight fighting in Lightweight. He's too big for Ilia.

If you look at the fight max landed so many hits illia kept eating them that’s why some people were saying max was up 2 rounds.

The way Islam beats Topuria is the same way he beat volk in the second fight - head kick KO. We all Jai Herbert almost finishing Ilya with a head kick and just didn’t have enough submission threat or ground and pound once he dropped him but Topuria has always been susceptible to getting head kick KO
Islam can not only submit illia but also knock him out easy. People don’t understand, if you are not fighting dagistani /chechan/kazak rest all are wack.
wtf man ? Do you have any idea about geography ? Georgia and degistan are literally same regions
You people really are clueless
he can try knocking ilia, but he will go to the shadow realm sooner.
@ Yea everyone says that, Iliiya got belt because of Islam, Islam broke Volks and Volks was never the same after and then Illia won. Illia won’t even fight Islam , the only reason Illia is bad mouthing so that he can Avoid Movsar who is in his division as Illia knows ufc won’t make cross divisional fight yet.
"there's no way he knocks out Max Holloway" ilia Knocked out Max Holloway at his absolute Prime.
"there's no way he submits Makhachev"... trust me, he will submit him. if he says he will. he will.
Uffff difficult Job. We trust Ilia ❤ but I think that fight can wait some time, not right now.
I mean i doubt on that one
It doesn't work like that
Unlike Max, Islam is way more careful and calculated
Tough short guy 2.0 but Islam wins
Movsar is 18.0 and he's the one whom only deserve that fight volk come up From 2 loses have title shit and someone 18.0 I can't have a title shot that dana white can't understand is he scared that all ufc champion become Russian those guys are different breeds they deserve it all the respect
I like toporia he back up every words he said but no chance against Islam is gonna be a great fight but Islam gonna win
The problem with Islam vs Topuria even if Islam wins everyone is going to say well he’s a bigger guy he’s a P4P #1 he’s supposed to win so it’s a lose - lose proposition for Makhaschev
Makhachev is 5'10 not 6ft
Josh is not the brightest his opinions r so bad for someone that has all his experience it's crazy he doesn't do any research it seems like
Charles Oliveira had eye issue got it but illia touparia can do wot he wants to do 😮😊
The thing is, they are two best fighters standing next to each other and people want to see that fight. We don’t wanna see Ilia with two belts. We will see him beating Islam. It won’t be the same if he beats another LW. Only people against that fight are Islam fans fearing Ilia’s power. There is no other reason to not make that fight next.
Islam will never accept, plus has nothing to win... At best he could win the bmf title if illia put it on line, otherwise islam will move up... TRUST ME ON THA
for you to say that after he beat a prime volk p4p is just ignorance
Islam sleeps in the KO power of Tuporia.
Islam dog walks him absolutely dog walks illia will not be close
Yea man! Islams manhandles this Illia guy! Wrestling of Islam is unstoppable!
Topuria slaps islam back to his little dagestan manhol😂
@@peaceathomepeaceabroad6669in your dream
Yeah just how he DOG WALKED Volk in their first fight lol
@ he raped Volkanowski
How did he dominate max ?
Come on be serious. Islam is faster, bigger, has good power and much better grappling. I give Ilia a 10% chance.
Everyone wants Illia get a chance to fight Islam. Islam doesn't get anything from it. everyone will say he won against another featherweight. If he losses than he lost against a featherweight. Even Dana discredits Islam everywhere he goes.
The truth is you guysust want somebody to take the belt back, well topuria vs paddy pimlett is the one you want to see
I dont think ilia can beat Islam, hes way too big for him.
ilia and tsaruykan are the same height, and would definitely be the same size should ilia move up to lightweight. arman did super well against islam especially in physicality. not saying ilia can beat islam for sure but it wouldn’t necessarily be because islam is “way too big” for him
Ilia an Volk are same height and frame size, that wasn't a factor at all in Volk vs Islam 1.
@@bachonamgaladze9561YEAH CUZ ISLAM WAS DEHYDRATED AS F...DID U NOT NOTICE HOW FLAT HE LOOKED...
@@eddybolanos-o3nARMANS FIRST FIGHT WITH ISLAM.IS HIGHLY OVERRATED... WHAT DID ARMAN DO TO TROUBLE ISLAM? ISLAM 30-27'D HIM.. ARMAN LEGIT DID NOTHING IN THEIR FIRST BOUT 😂
Usyk is much smaller than Fury and he beat him. So in terms of size he could but he wont in terms of quality on the ground.
Lab Lab Lab Lab Lab Lab
U know we have usman nurmagomedov coming ufc wait him
Islam will use his extra weight and wrestle. If he stands with ilia he is in extreme danger. He knows that.
Khamzat vs Islam next
Call me crazy but if there's anyone that can counter Khamzat's craziness it's Islam. Or any heavyweight.
Stop it with the Topuria v Islam. Let's talk Burns v Islam, Convinton v Islam.
True. Is not time for that fight.
Islam could not summit Volk, and I Do not see Islam outboxing Ilia. This is the fight to make, to see who has more tools, and if both grappling are neutralized, it goes to strike.
MOVSAR EVLOEV 18-0
Islam should have lost to Volk in the first fight. The 2nd fight he got a nice kick that took Volk out. Ilia showcased how good he was against Volk when they went toe to toe. Ilia is a huge problem for Islam. This is not a guaranteed win for Islam. I think Ilia could beat him.
Movsar Evloev is 18-0 8-0 in UFC
0 finishes.
he has some finishes
@@worshipperofallah1 okay its true, but none of them in the UFC.
Islam is bigger, he got 3 inches on him. He's a natural lightweight. He's the most elite wrestler in the Ufc with khamzat. I don't care how elite of a boxer you are, Islam is a serious problem fro any lightweight and definitely for a featherwieight
Ilia is good wrestler and black belt bjj but agree about the size difference, Islam is very big.
Why we alwayes give à chanse to fatherwight champions to moveup to 155 p and became double champ esily we saw it with connor it works undersatns big super star he is .also volkanski devends coupl times his title and no one clear conterder in 155 division but now ilia Just has 8 win in ufc .great work by finish 2 goats in 145 in same yerar but fact he has Just 1 title défense ever he béat volk fo reamtch sitll not desrveit because islam if win over arman he Will 4 title défense and try to change shafkat if he Will champion so ilia stiil has work to do there is couplé good guys déco lopes mosver volk and after that think to move up its works for connor even if you get chanse islam is not the same level of edi alvrez mush better so cry about it and hepe our muslim champ be first muslim double champ inchallah
John never got a word in this conversation… fkn motor mouth over there😂
Doesn't matter how skilled Ilia is, Makhachev is too big for him. Makhachev is literally a Middleweight fighting in Lightweight.
Welterweight not middleweight
Terrible argumnet, Mak arguably lost the first fight vs Volk. Ilia would sleep Mak
Within 2 rounds
@@seriustraco same thing I’ve been saying a volk that was scared to exchange with ilia was piecing makachev up both fights
@@seriustracowhat? Arguably lost? Argued by whom? Dumb volk fans ? lol all he did was win last 1 min of their fight
Islam ran out of gas with striker Dustin. Max is 5’11” and Ilia slept him slowly. Islam gasses out after getting hit repeatedly we saw that with Dustin and just as he might get the win Islam submitted him. Can’t overlook that Ilia also has excellent ground game. Alex should have been winner of first fight and gave Islam a great fight.
islam is the worst matchup for topuria, topuria is a close range striker
close range striker is a dinner for a high rank grappler
the fact is that ufc will protect illia from islam. no way ufc will risk their money making machine from spain to fight & lose to Islam. Maybe in 2 years time or maybe illia vs usman during that time
Ilia will sit that man on his especially with no weight cut then surprise Islam with his wrestling 🤼♀️
I watched an interview he did with a mma RUclipsr from Spain, illia said his ground game is better then his striking/boxing but he doesn’t like using it because he wants to make the fights fun and exciting for the fans, who knows if that’s true but I have a feeling it is because he only started striking regularly when he got to the UFC. Scary thought 😬
That’s actually worse because you are neglecting your wrestling and once u face someone with superior wrestling you will struggle. Ala justin gaethje
@ i don’t think he skips wrestling days in training bro, he took down max really easily then let him up just to screw with his mind. I’m confident in saying that because he promised a ko no way he was wasting time keeping him on his back
@ training wrestling is something and actually using it dominantly in a fight is completely different. Justin is an ncaa d1 wrestler btw topuria isnt .
that is a lie his friends say to give him aura, why you guys believe that, he has not proven to be a god in the ground let alone have dagestani level
@@malvarez8484bro are you really believing that? he wanted to hold max the whole round to really give him a reason to worry in the next round, he didnt "let him stand up" wtf are you on
and AGAIN...
Ilia can not win Volk... KO
Ilia can not K.O Max... KO
Ilia can not Sum Islam... guessssss
Everybody said he wasn’t gonna KO max or Volk so stop doubting the man
Ilia is also a wrestler grappler first just show cases his striking more now lets stop acting like hes not well rounded af probably the most well rounded in the ufc hes good everywhere
Ilia will make Islam look ez af!
U always doubt him guys and yet he always proves doubters wrong. wtf should he do to prove these doubts wrong?!
Islam is the original fighter that proves the doubters wrong😂 not ilia😂
SO WHAT? HE KO'D VOLK AND MAX AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT MEANS HE CAN BEAT ANYONE? HE PREDICTED 2 OUTCOMES RIGHT WHICH MEANS HE WIL ALWAYS PREDICT CORRECTLY? STFU WITH UR BANDWAGONING.. ILIA WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE BEAT ALEX AND MAX.. AGAINST ISLAM HE SIMPLY CANT DO IT..
@@Whatsgood-n3ono way Islam can beat Oliveira. No way. 😬
Man, John should do this show with someone else. Josh is the worst.
Why these two complete clowns in my recommendations? After enormous bias against ankalaev and other caucasian fighters how one actually can listen to these two. Blocking this bs
Volk is going to shut his lights out this time mark my words
😂😂😂😂 okay fanboy relax
@ not a fan boy but my gut feeling i know he is good
🤣🤣🤣 so casual!!
Evloev? 😁 most easiest fight for ilia!!
Toporia is nothing in front of Islam 😒
Ilia wins v chinlam
Islam only fights once a year cause he scared to lose the belt...Topuria would submit him..
Hi, I'm also aspiring to be a casual. One day I will be one. In the meantime, I've learned to stfu and not say dumb shit like you just did.
@@youssefkhaled9666 we all know he lost that first fight with volk. Islam khabib all them mfer fag on the low you probably are too...
these guys don’t know shit about mma, Ilia will destroy islam, 1st or 2nd round knockout, very easy fight. Also he beats the shit out of evloev as well
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If illia fight islam early retirement baby..islam is other level..illia has a power good boxing skills.but islam complete fihter..yes anything can happen in the fight. if that reason bring in islam fight .islam lot of options how to beat illia..
we've seen Islam get knocked out already..Not doubting Islams abilities, but Ilia will sleep Islam.
Ilia will do S*it. Once Ilia gets taken down, rest is history. Also, Islam is bigger.
He made a mistake 8 years ago and got clipped. Come on bro? You think he didn't learn anything? You think he didn't get better? Islam would maul little Ilia
@@coffeetalk924 Brrhhh
illia is to small. People are cooked
@@Erumyr that's what they said when he knocked out Jai Herbert, they also said that before he knocked out Max..And Max is in the same weight class as Islam.. You're cooked
Ilia will surprised yall clowns just wait and watch.
YEAH AND WHEN ISLAM WHOOPS EM UR GONNA JUMP ONTO SOMONE ELSES BANDWAGON 😂😂
@TheChamp91100 keep dreaming🤡
@@TheChamp91100 dreamon🤡
Sure. Ilia will knock out a fighter who is not only from a higher weight class, but a guy who submitted the best submission artist, ko’d the p4p champ, and won against one of the best all rounders. The delusion is unreal.
@@TheChamp91100 🤣 nice joke
Evloev is a Poor version of BRYCE MITCHEL, EVLOEV WILL be finished fast.
Illia will beat Islam .
stop hating khamzat
Ahhh ilia is not super fast? Wtf this people are watching Have you seen his shots? He is scary fast and scary accurate.
Josh is unbearable to listen to 🥱🤯
