Topuria spars haaaaard but is still very technical. I'd love to be able to be as clean with that type of intensity.
He is really good, those boxing combos man the way he mixes up body and head, the head movement, the footwork, he is basiclly a "pure boxer, his boxing is super sharp he makes it work in MMA really well , great takedown defense too, great fighter
He actually started boxing way later, he trained wrestling and grappling since he was 7 and is a bjj black belt, he is originally a grappler
@@G36Kaers wich makes it even more impressive, he looks almost like a pro boxer or at least seasoned amatour boxer, very impressive
His boxing has only gotten this good in recent years. Check out his old fights. The improvements in such a short amount of time are insane.
He and his brother also learnt some stuff off RUclips videos btw
He's got a boxing coach as his main/only striking coach - Javi Climent (who is NOT related to his head coaches and MMA gym owners Jorge and Augustin, just pure coincidence of name). Javi is a boxing gym trainer. So while most MMA fighters have a mma kickboxing coach, then a mma boxing coach, or a mma muay thai coach, he doesn't - he just has a pure boxing coach who prepares other boxers. Think Jorge and Augustin handle anything "mma" like kicks, grappling, wrestling etc.
I’m pretty sure He’s never thrown a body or head kick. he moves very well and with those small gloves he’s so accurate
Gotta love how theses hard sparring fighter go light when they spar with someone stronger.
And someone better (than the first sparring partner), don't forget Usman can bang LOL. He doesn't want that kinda power coming back at him.
Who do you think is stronger then ilia that he’s sparring ? And he’s not a “hard sparring fighter” he’s an undefeated world champion if you’re talking about Usman it honestly looked like he didn’t want to hurt Usman and Usman was trying to pretend he was bein light cuz he was bigger when in reality I think he if he started throwing he was going to hurt get this kid can absolutely crack and has stupid slick head movement . Ya dork
? Yeah why wouldn't that be the case?
@@tonymack4120 because you're not trying to be a hipocrite bully? if you're willing to go hard against someone smaller than you then dont be a coward, go hard against someone bigger
@@supern0is349 you aren't a bully if you are sparring similar sized opponents that are also combat sports athletes. I'm sure Illia has been the nail plenty of times. You're just being emotional about something two consenting adults decided to do. Sparring hard against someone 40 lbs heavier is obviously a path to injury which isn't the goal. Hard sparring is good for developing killer instinct and plenty of champions can attest to that. You can dislike the training method if you like but I don't see how he's a bully or a hypocrite
I think this is the intensity you need to spar at to become a champion but it depends from person to person Gabriel, I honestly do sparring sessions that are 5% lighter than this but our coach always tells us to go lighter to the head so we do not get concussed and overall this is such an amazing episode keep up the great work! 🎉
Love the first minute showing Illia unleashing against unknown guys and than being super respectful against Usman. It's just like Sean Strickland with Pereira.
You have no context for the sparring. I like how you make comments like you do. 😂😂😂
He's kind of an arse to his sparring partners
Kind of an arse in general
They know what they signed up for. No one was surprised. You spar with the best to get better.
Why does he sometimes wear only 1 shin pad? 🤔
Gabriel took note of that in the video so it got explained. 😊 In Gabriel's example from his own experience: To remind oneself to not kick with the leg that doesn't have a shin pad. In case it's injured or something.
agreed, take power off the back leg while conditioning the lead@user-bf4gw6ci1k
@user-bf4gw6ci1kThat's a good take. Maybe it's to remind himself to defend the leg kicks
Interesting to see the difference in response to him harming his partners vs Conor
But that's an ego thing. Maybe if Topuria gets fame and fortune he changes, too. I still remember Kavanaugh criticizing Conor after the Khabib fight, that he just wants to knock people out in camp and not learn from them..
@@philippculture489 man what
It seems like people forget, that his sparring partners know its "hard sparring".
They are a part of his fight camp, so time to time they will spar hard. No one is forced.
That's his local gym in spain. When he's in camp Topuria brings people from outside to spar like Merab Dvalashvili or Guram Kutateladze. There are a couple of guys that can spar with him in his local gym like Pepe Torres or Daniel Richardson, but the rest are just not at his level so he drops everybody. For this last camp for Volk, topuria build a gym in his home, with the octagon, mats, bags etc. to train only with the elite people and his coaches, because at the local gym everybody started to ask for pictures and other things all the time, also people watching and trying to film is a big nono in camp for ufc title.
I don't know Gabriel, if you're a fighter and your sparring reel is all about you dropping your partners with headshots with small gloves on, I feel very uncomfortable about the kind of person you are. Yes, he's technically incredible, but that level of disregard for your partner's brain health? Not a fan, at all.
That's what's recorded, he might only post the hard sparring, but might be doing more light sparring of camera, that might not reflect the way he spars all the time, but maybe he is only post 50% to 30% of his sparring and posting only the hard stuff might be way to build his image as this terminator, just a theory of mine too, but i get your point
Truth is you can't become world champion just with light sparring. When you're fighting in the highest level, you have to have some sparring that is like a simulation of a real fight, with real power aiming to drop your opponent... my question is if these guys walking in the cage with beasts like Topuria are prepared and know he'll go 100%. Maybe sometimes they "forget" to tell them because otherwise he would find no opponent...
@@infinitedreamscape yeah, I am aware. My point is these guys don't look like they're matching Ilia's intensity, makes him look like a gym bully.
@@infinitedreamscapewhat a dumh non-response
@@infinitedreamscapenah
I understand that sometimes, especially if you’re prepping for a match, you might want to go sparring rounds that are a lot harder than usual. But I don’t understand what a fighter at his level gains from wrecking sparring partners who aren’t close to him. As some of them didn’t seem. If you’re not being challenged, and you’re still dropping your partners with light concussions and liver shots… I don’t get how that advances your training?
Just my reaction.
Cheers
You're not the only one with this opinion. People keep saying "you dont get anywhere with light sparring blah blah" you also dont get anywhere destroying dudes not on your level
Journalist say here in Spain that when he went to Sweden to train he did sparring with Khamzat Chimaev and beat him
Lol maybe in a pure striking round
@@faroffspring2430 i don't know, they didn't say.....but his Grappling is even better than his striking
@@marcosibiza the size difference matters even more for grappling than for striking. I guarantee khamzat has his way with topuria
@@faroffspring2430 i know..i am only telling what 3 MMA journalist said in a Spanish MMA podcast....maybe it was BJJ that's what his coaches say he is better at...i was surprised too
Alvaro said topuria was able to take him down (wrestling) , not that he beat him
Make a video on how to fight like topuria
hello gabriel, you mentioned illia leads with his shoulders and then arm which i think is what causes his snappy punches, can you do a video on this topic please
He is from my city, Aliciante, and he's going to own the 145 division for very long💪💪
He's a German born Georgian. Not a Spaniard. Relax.
@@hectoribarra1245 😂🤡
VARGA , WHEN SOMEONE FASTER THAN ILIA TALLER BIGGER MORE POWER QUICKER IN STRIKING, ELBOWS, SIDE KICKS, BACK KICKS, FRONT KICKS , SPINNING BACK KICKS WELL ROUNDED MMA FIGHTER 20 YEARS AND ALMOST IN HES PRIME . VARGA YOU TELL YOUR BOY ILIA HE'S DEFINITELY IN A HEAP OF SHIT. VARGA SAY NO MORE.
Hey Gabriel, can you show us your example of your day, are in camp or not? How many times you train at the momment or where do you put a lot attention
Truly lives to his nickname "the killer"
Can you explain how he doesn’t get hit with knees, head kicks, clinched, takedowns because generally that type of head movement and dropping hands can be dangerous for kickboxing and MMA.
can you make a video about his headmovement and punching flow (combination work) pls ✌🏻😌
You can hurt them but not injury them
I see this a lot in my country (The Netherlands), it has it's place, but to do this all the time ain't no fun
Damn he's brutal
Would you say Alex perieras leg kick would work for lighter people I’m 5”7 125ish
you're not lighter you're the lightest.
no offense I'm same height just a bit heavier
Love your contents Gabe, but a lil bit of double standards there compared to Conor's sparring vid.
Another sparring bully.
When the hard sparring is hard 😂
Ilia's sparring partner: 'Good rounds, I'm off to go piss some blood now, see ya.'
Can you put the link to footage so we can watch it as well?

Topuria just comes across as the prototypical ego fighter in the gym.
Him against Islam, need to happen
He leans too much to the sides only relaying on hip and head movements. He barely moves when he receives jabs. The mid section is slightly uncovered and is prone to not react to front kicks to the face. After his 1-2 he left his right hand is a bit lower (in one of his fights he received a kick to the head because of this). If he faces a counter striker that manages a different distance than the boxing range and doesn’t fall into a brawl or even someone like mahkachev that uses a different range he is going to get into trouble because of all his holes that he is unlikely to change at this point.
Yeah a skilled counter striking kickboxer like volk would definitely beat him you tell em coach
Lol it hurts but that was good@@josephnissenson3252
@@josephnissenson3252 i see what you did their lol
Lmaoooo your probably the type of guy that said "volk by domination." Yeah genius he fucking fixed some of the "holes" you pointed out. Watch the Bryce Mitchell fight then watch his fight with josh emmett. You just haven't done any actual research beyond short clips of his fights.
Volk has highest reach in his division, we saw what happened.
Topuria is so roided up it is not even funny.
Ok usada
Dude is just built different. He's a born killer.
Like every single top UFC fighter, boxer, elite athletes in general…
how is topuria roided up lmao. I get guys like emmet who shows up with gyno everytime and has insane power, but topuria has done wrestling all his life thats prolly why hes so strong, hes not even that muscular compared to guys like volk, emmet, aldo
