@@Allah_is_the_greatest_1god absolutely not, Khamzat is so inactive and overhyped. Did not deserve to fight Whittaker on his current title run win streak…. his last fight was against a 8 day notice, fish out of water who just went 0-2 in Weltweight title fights. And he actually lost a round to him…. While having 5 inches height and clearly being the bigger man… it’s an okay fight. But in terms of what it does for the division? It’s not a title eliminator. The end of the TUF season and omalley’s second defence and first real issue of a wrestler…. Definitely more important to me than Unproven tilapia and Holloway who I just don’t get the hype for. The statistics do not match the record of the fighter. He has been edging the top 5 for almost a decade now. And only held a inconsequential made up fantasy belt…. Max is one of the shittier and unlucko elites unfortunately
@eduy17 it's still Griffin vs Bonnar, we wouldn't even be watching the ufc without it. It wasn't the most technical fight, but it was the most important in terms of the future of mma. In other words without that fight we'd have had none of the other great fights. So maybe it's more fair to cal Griffin v Bonnar the most important fight now that I think of it.
This one fight…. ilia’s first defence, means more to you than these two do? The Shevchenko grasso rematch where we will find out if the UFC is really rigged…. Meanwhile, heading the card is Gay man versus his yapping puppy match? HOW do you care more for Topuria 😂
@@redrottenmanguyperson9954 I agree main card of UfC 308 is better than main card of UFC 301,302,303 and 306 but to be fair UFC 303 was planned to be better(Mcgregor vs Chandler,Hill vs Rhountree etc got cancelled). UFC 301-UFC 303 are over and UFC 308 is in almost 3 month,it's unfair to compare cards with some fight cancellations with a card nobody knows how many fights will actually take place on this card. Imagine 1 of the 2 Top fights(or both) and 1 or 2 aditional main card fights would be cancelled without proper replacement(it happened in the past).
Took all of Ortega’s confidence he had from round 3. He was doing pretty good round 3 almost hurting Max w every shot he landed. Max is a fucken BEAST!
When they announced McGregor vs Chandler, Max just lost to Volkanovski, was contemplating to fight in featherweight, Ilia just a top ten contender on featherweight, now they're fighting for the championship & McGregor still not fought & still loitering about🤦
McGregor won't fight. I think he makes more money in a month with his businesses than he would fighting Chandler. He also doesn't give a shit about the UFC anymore. The only reason he wants to stay relevant is to promote his whiskey and BKFC.

I love that everybody calls Ilia a hype train and trashes him. Undefeated and now CHAMP lol how is that a hype train? Dude smashed Bryce, Emmett and KO’d Volk. First “Volk is gonna destroy him” so now…Volk is washed lol if he beats Max, “max is washed” lol so stupid brother. Even if Topuria loses, dude is still an absolute monster. UFC has casual fans that really say the dumbest things lol win or lose, both of these dudes have done crazy things in their careers.
This doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't see "everybody" calling him a hype train. I see a lot of my fellow Topuria fans calling him The GOAT and I think that's a little premature. I also see a lot of my fellow Topuria fans talking about Max like they've never actually seen one of his fights. I'm always happy to welcome new fans to the sport, but there's plenty for them to learn if they're interested.
He's literally the betting favourite against Max. How is this underrated? Have you seen the number of people already saying stuff like he's The GOAT of the whole sport? I mean, I'm a Topuria fan and have been since 2018, but new fans are wild, very vocal, and definitely not underestimating Ilia.
@ethantownsend2502 It is crazy, but they'll see. Even when Max loses, he's not an easy fight for anyone. New fans get excited about a young champion from their country, but reality will set it. Enjoy the upcoming, cheers.
the only thing that can top Topuria vs Halloway this year is Jones vs Aspinal or Alex Pereria .But then again can it top UFC 300 , UFC 300 was kind of insane
Im not excited about Jon Jones like before even a bit ,yeah he was good and legend and all that but this is mma young mans sport there are plenty talents coming through
I have Max winning, I think he dominates Ilia with his range, pressure and Octagon control. I don't see Ilia winning unless it goes to the ground or if he has Max pressed against the cage, which is not a position Max usually finds himself in. But thats where all of Ilias KOs so far came from, so if Max just stays away from being backed up against the cage (and he is usually the one applying pressure and going forward) I think he will win in dominant fashion again.. But anything can happen, may the better man win
Topuria lo destroza y noquea sin ningun tipo de dudas. Es mejor arriba, mas inteligente, tiene mas confianza, tiene MUCHO mas poder en el golpeo, y en el suelo acaba con el cuando quiera. Adios Max, Ilia lo retira.

@@manuhatmacros3924 Holloway es duro de roer, no lo niego. Pero Ilia está en otro nivel (Emmett también era muy duro hasta conocer las manos de Ilia). Habrá que verlo.
@@grottybeats704 look where volkanovski is now and where Max is. Look the carrer Holloway did and look your volk. Topuria humiliated Volk. That means he is better fighter or he achieved more than him? At his prime at his best physic Max is the goat of this division. Everyone say it. You can say whatever you want. Fights KOs Results and belts talk be themselves
Topuria will Eat Holloway alive, no one is on the level of Topuria, this guy is a monster, i believe he can defeat islam aswell, for me Topuria is the real #1 Pound for Pound, he is so good at everything specially his striking, best boxer in the ufc right now.
max's last big win is arnold allen , zombie was old and washed out and still he was competitive with max and gaethje is slow , very hittable ,predictable and his iq is low , ilia will make max look like an amator and finish him.
I agree. Islam should how average his boxing is against dustin. Ilia will piece him up. And ilia has a very strong ground game to back him up at every situation
@@Gy_279 Topuria is too small, too slow, too flat-footed. And Makhachev is the better wrestler and better grappler of the two. You guys have no clue. Being a power puncher isn't enough when you fight someone who can take your a** down and grind you out. Topuria had a hard time with Herbert, and Herbert is a lower-tier lightweight who shouldn't even be in the UFC. If Makhachev lands the same headkick Herbert threw, Topuria is not getting up. Saying that Makhachev is "average" in striking is complete bulls*** at this point. Ilia ate more jabs in two rounds with Volk than Islam did in two fights with Volk. And neither Poirier or Oliveira could land big on him at mid-distance. Makhachev is the most well-rounded fighter in the game right now. He can strike, wrestle, grapple, his Judo trips are unmatched, his BJJ game and his transitions on the ground are high level, and his brute force is well-known at this point. He doesn't even need to pass guard to complete an arm-triangle choke...That's how strong he is on the ground.
Just look at both resumes and tell me about different breeds again! Topuria has won just two decent fighters - Volk and Emmet. He should do much more to prove his "another level" stuff
The day Max retires is the day the talent in the UFC takes a massive dive. No one is even close to what he does and has done. 27/6 When he first fought mcgregor back in 2013 and did really well in that fight.. he went on a 13 fight win streak up to and including this fight. Lost to Dustin, beat Frankie.. double loss to Volk, 2 more wins and a final loss to Volk again.. 2 more wins and followed by one of the greatest fights/KO's we've ever seen against Gaethje in April this year. The guy is a legend, his fights are always entertaining and holds some of the most legendary fights we've seen. The fact he's done all this and is only turning 33 in Dec is just immense. I hope he destroys Topuria and takes the belt and continues dominating the division in style
I think it’s a bad idea for Max to drop back down to 145. He looked sensational at 155 and KO’ed a legend. He would have a fair claim for a title shot at lightweight.
Please explain casual how you think it's unjustified? Max holds the highest percentage of strikes landed in any division and holds the record for most feather weight wins what records or what has ilia accomplished? Besides beating an already damaged volk hes only faced 3 of the top 10 feather weights and max cleared out the entire division you newbie 😂😂😂 typical casual
You're a true casual max holds the record for most feather weight victory's and most strikes Landed in any weight class what has Lila accomplished besides beating a damaged volk he hasn't even fought more than 3 top rank feather weights 😂😂😂 damn you causals are so annoying and silly
@@foxmulderfbiufo1770 boy, Holloway couldn't against volkanoski in 3 attempts, he failed miserably on last one. Topuria ko Alex easily... Also, max didn't want to go for Islam Macachev, because he had no wrestling or grappling... 2 of the strong points of Ilia... And still I know Topuria will KO Holloway out...
Lol max was close to winning 2 fights n 1 fight he won but judges gave it to volk..max will massacre topuria.. topuria doesn't have a chin n technique like holloway illia has power but max is overall the better MMA fighter n casual jokers like you will know this volk was never the same after islam koed him n max has never been close to being knocked out so don't weep when topuria has his ass handed him over lol
@@yashusharma8178 you are dreaming and I will comeback to this comment after the fight, hopefully you won't deleted it by then... Then I'll make a lot of fun on your lack of knowledge
Three decision losses to Volk and one to Poirier. Many would have folded but Max comes back and puts on a show every time he steps into the octagon. Then KOs Gaethje who recently beat Poirier. Max is an animal.
Ilia and Max are fighting for the championship title, not for BMF title, meaning Ilia is gonna try to be more technical and use his wrestling, he'll try to grapple Holloway. Im predicting Max to throw that spinning kick he used against Justin as soon as Ilia changes levels for a takedown attempt, and thats gonna cost him the fight. Remember everyone was doubting Max when he fought Justin and look what the outcome of that was
I know, right? That was very, very odd, they both just stop fighting and Max takes Ortega's hands and shows him this move. How weird was THAT?! Never seen anything like that before or since...
@@Technasma make it make sense 26 fights and only 12 knockouts? With that logic Devin Haney has ko power and also almost every fight in the video is max going the distance lmao
They say Ilia Topuria will KO M.H. fast. I think not. With how media and significant this fight has become for either fighter, and for the UFC as a whole. Ilia will go 5 rounds. Assuming the risks that this entails. But he will deliver a boxing class, as with Emmett, and a ground class, as with BryceMitchell. Ilia makes everyone look like amateurs. It will be the same with Max.
Topuria almost got finished by Herbert in the 1st minute of the 1st round.. Herbert isn’t even ranked in the top 10 lol. Max has fought nothing but legends the last 5 years. So, we’ll see about your prediction
Who is next tho, like honestly when Ilia beats max he achieves something that has never been done before and when it comes to other contenders the only fresh contender that hasn’t lost in a title fight would be Movsar and he had a close fight with Arnold Allen so honestly I would like to see him beat the batamweight champ then move up and beat the lightweight champ. This is early but I truly think we have a goat in the making he is the next gen mma fighter nothing like we have seen before
@@Jc-td4sbdifferent fight and skill gap, Yair and Jeremy finished emmet and ilia couldn’t he ain’t finishing max that leaves it to later rounds favoring max.

Max’s strengths is his boxing which is level under Topuria. Max doesn’t even look like a boxer compared to Topuria.
More MMA fans are probably rooting for Max, but the comments sections seem to be rooting for Ilia.
Ilia 'el matador' Topuria 💪🏻🇪🇦🌹🇬🇪
I honestly hope Max does LW with actual camps for it like the 300 fight. His Dustin fight was short notice, it'd be interesting to see what he can do at LW with actual prep
Yes this is going to be the best fight of the year Omgg 😩

Two cool and incredible fighters... can't wait
Topuria will Eat Holloway alive, no one is on the level of Topuria, this guy is a monster, i believe he can defeat islam aswell, for me Topuria is the real #1 Pound for Pound, he is so good at everything specially his striking, best boxer in the ufc right now.
max's last big win is arnold allen , zombie was old and washed out and still he was competitive with max and gaethje is slow , very hittable ,predictable and his iq is low , ilia will make max look like an amator and finish him.
I agree. Islam should how average his boxing is against dustin. Ilia will piece him up. And ilia has a very strong ground game to back him up at every situation
agree , i think ilia is the best boxer in the ufc right now and the most well rounded 145er the ufc has ever seen.
I agree , Topuria is a phenom of MMA...
@@Gy_279 Topuria is too small, too slow, too flat-footed. And Makhachev is the better wrestler and better grappler of the two. You guys have no clue. Being a power puncher isn't enough when you fight someone who can take your a** down and grind you out.
Topuria had a hard time with Herbert, and Herbert is a lower-tier lightweight who shouldn't even be in the UFC.
If Makhachev lands the same headkick Herbert threw, Topuria is not getting up.
Saying that Makhachev is "average" in striking is complete bulls*** at this point. Ilia ate more jabs in two rounds with Volk than Islam did in two fights with Volk. And neither Poirier or Oliveira could land big on him at mid-distance.
Makhachev is the most well-rounded fighter in the game right now.
He can strike, wrestle, grapple, his Judo trips are unmatched, his BJJ game and his transitions on the ground are high level, and his brute force is well-known at this point. He doesn't even need to pass guard to complete an arm-triangle choke...That's how strong he is on the ground.
Love Max but Topuria a different breed
Wrong
Just look at both resumes and tell me about different breeds again! Topuria has won just two decent fighters - Volk and Emmet. He should do much more to prove his "another level" stuff

The day Max retires is the day the talent in the UFC takes a massive dive.
No one is even close to what he does and has done.
27/6
When he first fought mcgregor back in 2013 and did really well in that fight.. he went on a 13 fight win streak up to and including this fight.
Lost to Dustin, beat Frankie.. double loss to Volk, 2 more wins and a final loss to Volk again.. 2 more wins and followed by one of the greatest fights/KO's we've ever seen against Gaethje in April this year.
The guy is a legend, his fights are always entertaining and holds some of the most legendary fights we've seen.
The fact he's done all this and is only turning 33 in Dec is just immense.
I hope he destroys Topuria and takes the belt and continues dominating the division in style

I think it’s a bad idea for Max to drop back down to 145. He looked sensational at 155 and KO’ed a legend. He would have a fair claim for a title shot at lightweight.
Ye he will be too weak 145
everybody knows he's too small to challenge islam. boring matchup. ilia is the fight to go.
He's got a better chance defeating Ilia than Islam for sure
30:56 so this is just the most perfect camera switch I feel like.

Please explain casual how you think it's unjustified? Max holds the highest percentage of strikes landed in any division and holds the record for most feather weight wins what records or what has ilia accomplished? Besides beating an already damaged volk hes only faced 3 of the top 10 feather weights and max cleared out the entire division you newbie 😂😂😂 typical casual
You're a true casual max holds the record for most feather weight victory's and most strikes Landed in any weight class what has Lila accomplished besides beating a damaged volk he hasn't even fought more than 3 top rank feather weights 😂😂😂 damn you causals are so annoying and silly
@@foxmulderfbiufo1770 boy, Holloway couldn't against volkanoski in 3 attempts, he failed miserably on last one. Topuria ko Alex easily... Also, max didn't want to go for Islam Macachev, because he had no wrestling or grappling... 2 of the strong points of Ilia... And still I know Topuria will KO Holloway out...
Lol max was close to winning 2 fights n 1 fight he won but judges gave it to volk..max will massacre topuria.. topuria doesn't have a chin n technique like holloway illia has power but max is overall the better MMA fighter n casual jokers like you will know this volk was never the same after islam koed him n max has never been close to being knocked out so don't weep when topuria has his ass handed him over lol
@@yashusharma8178 you are dreaming and I will comeback to this comment after the fight, hopefully you won't deleted it by then... Then I'll make a lot of fun on your lack of knowledge
Three decision losses to Volk and one to Poirier. Many would have folded but Max comes back and puts on a show every time he steps into the octagon. Then KOs Gaethje who recently beat Poirier. Max is an animal.
So in that thumbnail would Ilia Topuria be standing on a small stepladder?
High heels 👠
Not with his ego, he insisted UFC get Max to stand in a hole.
😂😂
Ilia and Max are fighting for the championship title, not for BMF title, meaning Ilia is gonna try to be more technical and use his wrestling, he'll try to grapple Holloway. Im predicting Max to throw that spinning kick he used against Justin as soon as Ilia changes levels for a takedown attempt, and thats gonna cost him the fight. Remember everyone was doubting Max when he fought Justin and look what the outcome of that was
Riding with the blessed express!
We know that they can both perform at the championship level.
We know that one of them consistently can.
We'll see what happens from here.
18:10 Commentators missed this part...where max is teaching ortega 😊

They say Ilia Topuria will KO M.H. fast. I think not. With how media and significant this fight has become for either fighter, and for the UFC as a whole. Ilia will go 5 rounds. Assuming the risks that this entails. But he will deliver a boxing class, as with Emmett, and a ground class, as with BryceMitchell. Ilia makes everyone look like amateurs. It will be the same with Max.
I hope Max destroy Conor 2.0 for copying his tattoos and his whole personality.

Who is next tho, like honestly when Ilia beats max he achieves something that has never been done before and when it comes to other contenders the only fresh contender that hasn’t lost in a title fight would be Movsar and he had a close fight with Arnold Allen so honestly I would like to see him beat the batamweight champ then move up and beat the lightweight champ.
