*Topuria’s patience with that kind of devastating power. Scary combination right there.*
Ilia "The Milestone" Topuria
Bro look at all of my comment's i knew topuria was gonna KO volk because he was not scared of volk power, he was scared of Emmett power, that's why he didn't KO him. I told everybody, bet on Ilia, He's the goat
@@user-ps7ml7sl8w
You have a deep knowledge of sport. A guy with 14 fights. The greatest ever.
1 hitter quitter
💯
No one is beating ilia anytime soon ill keep it real this man is different tbh, Real champ Guy
Easy work for Movsar
its MMA, that's what they say about every new fighter
@@ailikethough.6921 decision merchant
Max maybe has a chance, both are incredible strikers. One person can beat him for sure that is Islam, but we have to wait for Ilia to go up for him
happy to see people do full 360 backflip on ilia, the amount disrespect people was giving him and trying to put him down
Ilia was a pro, a predator, a true matador! Viva Georgia y Viva España!
Viva!!
Fights more like El Toro than Matador
@@jmz2144 I think you've never seen toros in your life, otherwise you would know how a matador proceeds.
España 🇪🇸 🤝 🇬🇪 Georgia
Yair & max is crying right now
Max is busy preparing for Justin and honestly I don’t see him winning he might get KOed for the first time.
@@mrdisaster5880Precisely
Why on earth would they be crying when they have a chance to fight for the title vs new blood. If volk won, they would have no chance for a title shot again. You got it all mixed up there
@@kingpin69lol bc Topuria said he won’t give them the title fight when he wins. I think it’s bc he could never get a fight with them
@@shaun5047
He doesn't call the shots
Georgia absolutely dominated today 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Really happy for that from spaniard 🇬🇪❤🇪🇦
@@carlbjorling6058 Both of us, Georgians and Spaniards, will rule the world for a long time, Ilia just started💥
Born in Georgia, raised and trained in Spain ;)
@@AppearDispairDisappear-xi1gtborn in Germany to Georgian parents raised in Georgia moved to Spain at 15
@@NJ36290- Feels equally 🇬🇪🇪🇦
i bet Paddy is not gonna be throwing any more bottles of sanitiser in Topuria's direction any time soon
Topuria would literally kill Paddy
Paddy was pretending he didn’t know who Topuria was during his last interview lol
If Topuria gives Paddy the one he gave to Volkanosky without a glove, I literally think ilia could kill him.
There is a clear difference between a strong guy that comes in there with the INTENTION of finishing a fight, and a strong guy like Costa who maybe HOPES to finish a fight. Topuria is not waiting for the opportunity to happen, he creates it.
Well said mate
So bias, this was just Topuria night homie.
lol Not sure why people bring up Costa like he’s a ko artist. He looks the part but he’s never actually fought like that.
@@shaun5047 Up until the Izzy fight he had high output and walked people down, I mean he really took it to Yoel Romero, But then he changed. Now he barely pressures or throws combos
Dude costa is just good and ilia es elite, you cant compare them 😂
Ilia is a good fighter all around. Well deserved championship 🎉.
People will still be calling Conor out in 2050. They all want red panty night
Is smart Man xd
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
it's becoming really lame now
Fighters should have pride and stop doing that ..
Look at what Conor did for khabib.
As soon is Ilia walked out to Antonio Banderas, I knew it was over for Volk.
Me too
Won $560 on Fluffy , Merab , Whittaker and Illia !!!!
Chael gonna say when you get KOed you lose that round and not the bout in its entirety nobody told me the rules beforehand 😂😂
Enorme. Sabía lo buenísimo que era Volka en esta división, pero es que Ilia daba una confianza bestial. 🇪🇦🇬🇪❤
El Matador keeping his word, God had a plan. From me only words of respect and admiration towards Volk, happy for Ilia but it is sad to see a champion in that way, a great man with family behind him, in short this is the UFC. He will continue to be one of the best in history. I hope you understand that not all ilia fans are unbearable. 🇦🇷🇪🇸🇬🇪" it doesn't matter where you come from but where you are going "
Lets gooo I'm so proud for ilia hes always been overlooked.. Hes the most professional and complete fighter.. He prepares like its supposed to be done
Amazing performance from an amazing fighter . Def looking forward to the matchups to come 🔥
Gabriel’s is a great commentator… so articulate so smart. I hope we can see more of him.
Congratulations Ilia Topuria! Masterclass performance and win against one of the all time greats in Volk, truly the beginning of a new era in the Featherweight division now.
bruh that audio issue when anik is talking is crazy for a billion dollar company. cmon now lmao
Illia has that it factor and cannons in his gloves glad we have a champion who can send people to the realm
Gilbert Melendez!!! Absolutely killing it!!!! Cant wait to see you in more stuff, would love for you to commentate if you want to!
Congrats to ilia topuria 🏆👍
the level of the featherweight champions its crazy
After Illia Topuria said" look at me now", I swear I could hear R Kelly singing, this is the remix to ..................
uncle chael on point
Im going to cry
I personally like Ilia he did exactly what he said he was going to do.
Big changing of the guard moment at FW. Volk going from P4P king to consecutive KO losses is brutal. Don't think Volk's chin had anything to do with this outcome. Topuria had his # stylistically. Holloway should be next in line for the belt.
Where is that Geography guy . Teddy
Why does Chael sound like Ric Flair when hes asked a question. To excited.
I wanted volk to win but something was telling me from the get go that Topuria would knock him out
I agree with Chael it was a great card idk about the best but it’s up there
Why do people always think when someone starts losing they should move up and fight bigger guys?
Chael is the man💪🏼
Ilya Martel finally got his revenge
ილიააააააააააააააააააააააააა
I predicted this will happen 2 weeks ago
Vamos Ilia🇪🇦🇪🇦🇬🇪
Not gonna lie, I wanted and predicted Volk to win, but it looks like the new generation will be taking over
Volk is old same story as Tony, when people will understand that age is very important
Volk was looking great and definitely won round 1, he just got caught clean by a hard hitter
@@mightnmagic3095how are we gonna compare volk to Tony when this is the first time volks lost at featherweight in a very long time. I get the age part but let’s not act like volk is dead in the water, his last loss prior was to a prodigy at a weight class above him on a short notice and volk was winning this fight up until the K.O
@@TyroneBiggums789because Tony lost his first fight in awhile after running thru lightweight division an we see how that turned out
@@danieldryden6644 Topuria stalked him the whole fight. Volk wasn’t looking that great.
ILIA "THE MILESTONE" TOPURIA LETS FFFFF GOOOOOOOOOO❤❤❤❤
I wanted volk to win and I was hoping that he won’t get cocky and try to beat topuria with boxing and that was exactly what he tried to do.
I’d like to see AJ McKee go back to 145 and get in the UFC. I think McKee, or Zabit.. could give The Champ, his toughest tests at 145. One guy is retired, the other isn’t in the UFC.
old man volk is definitely sleeping now "what happened" 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 👌😁😅
k said in one of his videos spain doesnt produce good enough athletes to compete in ufc. He is a cocky bald american, so happy ilia knocked him out cold
I disagree with the motivation take at the end. Volk seemed extremely motivated for that fight. And sounded very motivated for a rematch at the post fight presser. Not that I think a rematch would go well for him...
Is Gilbert Melendez fighting or retired

"HIs bEsT Win is JoSh EmMett"
"HE Got dROPpeD bY jAi HERbErT"
Everyone said we were writing off Volk. Nobody was doing that. Volk fanboys were writing off Ilia, and for extremely ignorant reasons. Have fun typing up your excuses.
Volkanovski just announced hes ready to fight and headline every UFC PPV event for 2024 and is willing to fill in for all UFC fight nights. wow, what a guy.
He is stupid. He should get out of his head and accept reality
BRO JOE HAS GOTTEN WAY MORE BIASED TOWARDS STAR CHAMPIONS OR POTENTIAL STARS
I don't agree with Melendez at the end because they gave him two title shots at lw. And you're saying he has a motivation problem? People hae been saying for awhile that Ilia was the guy to dethrone him now everyone just saw why. It's scary how composed and confident he is because he is also that good and skilled. He is going to be a problem he is a different guy.
⬆60 second UFC bet breakdowns ⬅💰💰💰ALL PLUS MONEY BETS💰💰🔥🔥10-1 on the last 3 PPVs🔥🔥
everyone was hating on him, now they love him... I called it from the start, I just really liked Topuria's style, hands of steel, great boxing, amazing Bjj and wrestling.. when Connor Mcgregor is cocky everyone loves it, but Ilia can't be confident in his skills and be hated for it? lol.
Volk should have went for a takedown. If you mix it up you'll open up the striking, the feints the potential head kicks etc.
Buffer said costa 14 wins 12 loses tonight 😘
Has to be a rematch with volk regardless
It's going to be ko again
would you see that regardless the fact that he is getting koed again?
@axutgautam1187 what are the lottery numbers mate given you can see into the future?
@@blazzz13 The prediction you asked for, they two are of a different dimension. Don't ask such dumb questions lol.
this was a Jose Aldo Connor level ko.
I knew Topuria was going to win. Everyone loses eventually. Volk's time was up when he tried to move up and beat Islam. Focus on your own division and retire while you're on top.
Volka did amazing against Islam when he trained for a fully camp. Ilia's level of fighting plus level of confidence plus level of strategy are amazing.
Chael needs to smoke weed before he gets on the mic…
To balance out the coke lol
Illia calling out conor is stupid
Better than calling out rainbow O'Malley.
Listen boiii!! MCNUGGETS it's the biggest bussines of the UFC😵💫😵💫😵💫
LIKE IT OR NOT MOSTLY OF THE FIGHTERS ARE BORING ASF!!
Not worse than Volk asking for a rematch 😅😅😅😅
lol On one hand Conor probably wouldn’t accept a difficult fight like that especially having to drop down. On the other hand who knows maybe he’s lured by the belt and a PPV in Spain.
@@hjk1400Why wouldn't Volk ask for a rematch after defending the belt so many times? Nutter
I am waiting for izzy's breakdown 😆 i feel it was early stoppage.
What are you even talking about? There should have been an early stoppage from your mother when your daddy came inside her
Topuria fights under the spanish flag
I think chael should speak a little faster
Ilia topuria vs Paddy Pimblett
Stop the McChicken comparison. Ilia ko's old men. And new 👊☝️
Ilia put your fighter to sleep in the second round. He's the king of this.
volk sleep before and after the fight 😂
TOPURIA KILL VOLK xD f por volk great champion

Long tattoo along spine: Conor ✔️ Ilia ✔️
Bird tattoo behind neck: Conor ✔️ Ilia ✔️
Being a clown at press conference: Conor ✔️ Ilia ✔️
Grabbing opponent’s belt: Conor ✔️ Ilia ✔️
Being original: Conor ✔️ Ilia ❌
So having tattoos means he’s copying Connor 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@Dbbetterdamn, even with all that was said it still flew right over your empty little head 🫠
Viva España 🇪🇦🥊
Mistic Topuria. 😂
Volk was defeated pre fight with - old man cosplay - using BS words like "humble". Volk has shown how naive and slipshod he was in underestimating Ilia😮
I said when this fight was announced Ilia would demolish & KO Volk🎉🎉🎉
You know nothing
Volk came back from a ko too quick against a young opponent who was dangerous and he paid the price
You would still be calling Topuria "Dollar store McGregor" if he lost
@@Ktmfan450still got koed
@@joeltaylorthethird5443 ???? Go suck a salami
Stop excuses there's no excus he get sleept
yeah that old man volk thing was just stupid and very cringe. Totally backfired on him i guess he's sleeping now for real this time 😴
topuria vs makhachev
That's going to happen after 2 or 3 fights
if you look at the breathing of both fighters in between rounds it's so clear who won the round, and it was not Volk.
Still as professional Volk, he can’t take those combinations. ? It goes to show you better power boxers win. It was a boxing match.
what a squeaky voice. what's wrong with him
Guru predicted this perfectly. Give him a desk job, not these casuals.
💃🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸💚👏😁
I / the fans would love to see if Illia can crack Max’s chin. I hope he pulls out of 300 and just fight Illia man.
I rly think he can no offense to the featherweight division but max hasn’t rly fought anyone w dynamited except for Poirier and he’s getting older
It was bound to happen after that head kick everything for volk is going to get worse. He should retire now.
1:25 Adding Weidman instead Adesanya makes more sense since Adesanya was KOed by Pereira before in kickboxing.
This isn't kickboxing fanboy.
🇪🇸
Anderson Silva
Brock Lesnar
Conor Mc Gregor
Ilia Topuria
And that's it....not Aldo, not Jon Jones, not Holloway, not Khabib, and much less Volkanovski.
If you observe volk not mentally focus since defeat by machachev. That's clearly the old unfocused volk that need to retire.
He's the Spanish Connor McGregor
🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
hes georgian man🎉🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
He’s not Spanish bro. He just lives there
@@ZviadiZviadauriVelox he was born is Germany, but I wouldn't consider him german because he only lived there 3 years, he has lived most of his life in Spain since 15 years old, he lives there, pays taxes there, trains there, he loves that country, he is a Spaniard, it doesn't matter where he was born
@@ender_z4nd3r83 It matters to him, buddy. If he considered himself more Spanish than Georgian, you would see the Spanish flag next to his name. He fights from spain, sure. He loves spain and considers part of him Spanish and you should be proud of that rather than trying to alter his nationality according to your wishes.
Max yair and Brian can go and retir one sided fighters
Actually this fight was much easier then with Emmet. Remember some of you were saying that Ilia will lose, he couldn't even finish Emmet? 🎉
Nobody bringing up how he got knocked out by Islam , an that makes your head weaker
for all the english comunity🤫
Yeah but he didn’t do it in the 1st round 😒
Max should back out of the Justin fight.
Terrible matchup.
.ax vs ilia
Stop glazing bro, Volk put up a great fight. We'll see you in the rematch after Max. Congratulations Topuria, now I'm logging off.
did you clean the tears before logging off?
@@rati396Did you put down your baby rattle before typing that?
@@blazzz13 only thing that was put down is Volk LMAO
🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪❤️❤️❤️
Max can claim the belt back. Blessed era 2,0 coming soon.
😮
I cant stand hearing Chael speak. Annoying af
i had to turn the laptop down that incessant whining
Well done ilia. We want a rematch.
Volk doesn’t deserve a rematch right away
I like volk but remacth on a 2 knockout loss streak is crazy
yay!! he just defeated an old man! yaaaay!
Awwn
Go cry in a corner.... If he lost , y'all say he got beat by an old man....stupid
Chael and all topuria fans silent as a church mouse rightnow😂
Ilia vs islam the fight to make
Chael please Volk did not win round one...I’m sorry no
Very biased Chael
I said it. Volk like Icarus got burned flying too high vs Islam. Now hes reign is over lets face it he should retire.
