In 2009 I was 22 and went to the UK to learn English almost from scratch. After 3 months of intensive English classes I got to nearly nothing cause the school was packed with Latinos and I'm half Colombian. I ended up practicing full-time Spanish and learnt Portuguese with Brazilian girls lol. It is only around week 5 I decided to train and went to London Shoot Fighters, then I finally started to learn proper English. I can so rely on his story. Now after 8 years, I came back to motherland -Switzerland- and we have 2, 15 and 17 years old boys who just arrived from Georgia at the gym last year. I'm always with them and help them to learn French, it is my turn to help :) .
Ilia vs Charles is such a sick striking fight, and both guys are tremendous young talents. I think we’ll see a rematch regardless of the outcome at some point. FOTN or Knockout of the night in this one.
@@Shiggystardust merab just doesnt surrender,its hard to beat man like him,did you see his fight vs ricky simon?merab also has best cardio in bantamweight.
@@შოთიკოდუმბაძე-დ6ც bro they are some big claims. Nah I didn’t see the rocky fight and I know mma math doesn’t add up. But Ricky losing to Uriah says a lot. I think he can look that good against someone like rikcy. But looking that good against the top 5 hard to know. I saw his fight against someone a fight or two ago and he was struggling. I don’t think he’s ever fought 5 rounds. That would be a good test.
@@ascherfriedman6642 Ryan is a great character and a very talented fighter, but Topuria pouncing on him during his wacky rolls was an amazing finishing sequence! It was a memorable bout. I like both guys
@@neilmacdonald6637 I've only watched Ryan in the UFC, but he always comes off as smug and arrogant. I'm sure I'd be far more neutral towards him if he wasn't such a one-trick pony
Hi, also, just in case, some significant details about the ethnic origin of Georgians, about Georgian cultures, Georgian culture (as a historian by profession). Yes, Georgia is also located in the Caucasus, but the Caucasus itself is also, in terms of ethnic origin, cultures, culture and the like, and so on, represents absolutely different peoples, therefore, in appearance, absolutely different peoples (here we do not mean ethnic mixed cases). The Georgians, as descendants of the Kolkhians/Colchians and Iberians, are one of the most ancient European peoples. Thing is that (as from historian by education) Georgians in Caucasus, Etruscans in Italy, Corsicans in Corsica, Picts in Britain, Spanish Iberians in Spain and other Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples have same ethno, ethnic origin and represent Iberian race, Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples of Europe and this is why all these listed peoples ( together with originality of each of these ethno, ethnic peoples) have similarities, identical in different forms of culture, in folk music, dance, in ancient architectural style and so on. Also Georgians cultures of different historical times are European ( together with their own culture/ cultures, influences with different European cultures, beginning from ancient times, influences with ancient Greek civilizations, cultures, with Roman cultures, later with Byzantine/East Roman culture, with Catholic Europe and other European cultures during all historical periods in history of Georgians, Georgia, subsequently, among other European cultures, having the closest relationship also with Russian culture ) and of course, all these things proven historically/scientifically by World's, European ( including Georgian) historians/scientists (there are some of them: Scottish historian/ scientist D.Mcleodyem, German historian/ scientist Greinspolk and others), which means also proven geneallogicaly in different periods of time, including by the director of the Zurich Genealogical center, R Scholz, and this is why Georgians ( Georgia's) European/Western way is absolutely naturally and historically right way to returning to their European roots, which means their true Georgians roots in this South- Eastern, Caucasus region of Europe, where Georgia itself is located and this is how vast majority of Georgians consider themselves and their country. Sincerely, Alex
In addition, I note that Georgians, like Corsicans, Picts, Etruscans, Spanish Iberians and other peoples belong to the Iberian race, the Iberian peoples of Europe and have a kinship ethno relationship to Celts through those peoples who have both Iberian and Celtic ethno origin, these last, such peoples live in a certain part of Spain, Britain, Scotland and so on., and there is also a historical opinion that a certain part of the Celts was also mixed with the West Georgian ethnic peoples in their time. From all that has been said, Georgians also have an ethno-cultural attitude towards the Celts in a certain way, which also manifests itself in certain Georgian folk songs, melodies, in dances, for example, the dance "Khorumi" and so on, also proven by archaeological / cultural data. There are also 3 Iberia, Spanish Iberia, Georgian Iberia and Irish Iberia, etc. It is through these mentioned factors that Georgians also have an ethnically related relationship with the Celts.
As for faith, religion, about 97/98% of Georgians are Christians, among whom the Orthodox Christians are dominant, there are also Georgians Catholics (The positive role, the share of Georgian Catholics in the history of Georgians, Georgia, in the culture, in different directions of Georgians, Georgia is also huge. Before there were much more Georgian Catholics ), Protestants and other Christians. Also, like other peoples, countries of Europe and world, the ancestors of the Georgians and in those days they had the closest cultural, social and other relations with the Greeks, with the Roman Empire, with other Iberians, and so on. Of course, pre-Christian times among the ancestors of the Georgians (Kolkhians/Colchids and Iberians), both in the eastern part - in Iberia, and in the western part-in Kolkhida/Egris, there was a pre-Christian religion, Paganism, similar to pre-Christian ancient Greek, Roman Paganism, which the consequences have mixed, with synthesized into Christianity, into Christian culture, how it all was and happened among other peoples, among other European peoples, countries. One example of this is the same " Giorgoba" in November in Georgia, the synthesis of pre-Christian patron deities of different parts of Georgia in the patron "St. George", as well as Christmas and other Christian dates, holidays in European peoples, nations, including among Georgians and so on. One of the most popular confessions-religions in pre-Christian times was the religion of Mithra. Of the cult places of the pre-Christian ancestors of the Georgians, the Uplistsikhe temple complex is notable, with its main God-Solts - "Mitra", whose worship was widespread in large teritory of Europe, right up to Great Britain (Uplistsikhe was one of the social and cultural centers of pre-Christian Georgia), in general, in terms of content, essence, and rituals, the religion of which is very similar to the Christian religion, as well as other pre-Christian creeds of different peoples in general. It is known that Christianity took a lot from these pre-Christian confessions, (also Christianity took from " Mitra" Religion) including in Georgia, as well as in general that Christianity itself in the broad historical and cultural sense of the word is a synthesis of pre-Christian faith, cultures, civilization and Christianity itself, also among European peoples, countries, including among Georgians.

This guy is a future featherweight champion 🇬🇪
This comment aged like a fine wine.
@@MelkMan7 Agreed
Nope. He's a present featherweight champion.
And he KOed two champs the same year
Damn…
He’s a fan of the fight game. He seem more likable than Giga or Roman.
He's also way more skilled
Ilia’s a complete savage. Love watching this dude fight.
Ilia is CHAMPION 🎉

Ilia is the man.
He has the greatest tattoos I'm mma history

Ilia vs Charles is such a sick striking fight, and both guys are tremendous young talents.

This guy has a huge marketing potential if he backs it up in the cage, i asume he speaks German and Georgian plus Spanish and English.
Man I really wanted to see him against Evloev. I'm sure we'll see that fight later down the line.
Can u imagine it now
These guys are destined to fight eventually
Ilia KOs Alex in Feb. He will be champ sooner than people realize.
You where right
Let's go Topuria 🇬🇪
He is a beast, hope one day will be the champ
Great interview Ariel!
His English has improved so much from his first fight. He's a beast and is a big problem for everyone. He's like 24 too that's crazy
When did he start learning English?
Champ now
Some of these comments have aged really damn well 🍾
This guy has the best chance of being the first Georgian champion.
dont forget about merab dvalishvili

I’ve never heard Ilia talk. Cool humble guy
Cus he didn't finish school lol
@@bobsanchez7342bud he’s earning more $ than you ever will😂

@@jayson1013 I know!!!!!!! I'm gutted i didnt. But my comment aged very well.

Me encanta este Tipo seems like a genuine dude!
BEAST💥
Let's go ilia 🇬🇪🇪🇦💯
what a chad.
Topuria is a beast and the future of the ufc
Yeah this is exactly what we need to share to the children watching
Not to be that dude, but he was mocking Evloev for pulling out for medical issues. Look what he just did, 1 day before the fight. Pure Karma.
They pulled him
Future champ here. Mark my words
Little late bro 😂
Ilia's dad is the man.
"Hey dad, I don't want to go to school. I will train all day everyday."
Astoundingly based
What do they mean by test postive
Lets go Ilia!
Illia is the best ✌️🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Beast
08:02 no Ariel, they don't have internet in Spain
He did everything he said he’d do
Without a doubt Ilia is going to win Featherweight championship one day
You were right
Who is watching this in 2024?
