its not smart to match them up this early. Two great prospects, and Topuria KOing Paddy like that before the UFC is able to make a lot of cash off of him is, as they say, bad for business.
@@bobbyt8472 you see Paddy's fight aswell? Man has been clipped hard in both his fights in the UFC to guys who are lower calibre then Jai. Dont get me wrong im not saying bet the house on Ilia but it is far more competitive then you are making it out to be. Seems like you are over hyping Paddy and down playing Herbert.
@@bobbyt8472 Paddy got a first round sub against a fighter who has fought majority of his career in the mexican regional scene with no titles. Ilia got a second round KO on a former Cage Warriors lightweight champion who has had more experience in the UFC.
@@kevindurantburner3592 Because he had crazy reach advantage and height advantage. If you have ever fought you would know that, first round was getting to know how to close the distance. Once he did it, he flatlined him.
I guess we’ll see! True fighters are those who challenge themselves every day! If you’re comfortable in a same division for too long then it becomes boring. I’m proud to be a Georgian and we’re always ready to fight, it’s in our nature!!!
@@Astaldo88 Living in a country doesn't always eliminate the accent or grammatical mistakes. He speaks flawlessly, or nearly so, in the language of Cervantes, as the Spanish would say. 😁
This guy has all the skills to be the champion. I think he should move back to his weight. The guy he fought was way to big for him. Can’t wait to see Ilia back!
@@lambsauce9544 you sure sound like an expert. Herbert had 8 inch advantage in reach. You think that is nothing? Fact that Ilia put him to sleep only tells us how damn good he is but he should stay in his weight.
@BobbyT Do you know what is lucky punch kid? It was 3 punch combination. 2nd hit went to the liver that made Jai lower his hands and getting KO'ed. Stop riding men meat and enjoy the fights. Dont worry rhough your puss blond wont fight Ilia ever so calm.
@@bobbyt8472 he was 6 inches taller with 8 inch reach advantage. You have obviously never fought against taller opponents in your life, cus its super hard. And it was no lucky shot, it was perfectly executed following after body shot
@@cratos900 Take the Georgians 5’5 micropeen out your mouth.. he could barely handle the skinniest LW on the roster.. he should stay at 145 with the little guys. Paddy would Sub him first round 🥨
This dude is incredible and should keep calling out Paddy and getting his name out there.. at some point Paddy's gonna run out of excuses not to fight him.. his excuses right now are already bad he don't want the smoke
Make no mistake Ilia Topuria(El Matador) is a number one killer. I like Paddy too but he was wrong to disrespect Ilia Topuria like that and this dude has the power and speed to put Paddy into the Shadow Realm, it's a fight I really want to see but Topuria will need to step up in weight and the UFC won't want such a dangerous fight for Paddy just yet.
Amazing the amount of excuses people will come up with to protect their favorite fighters (paddy) . I mean you can't expect him to fight anyone that could actually beat him. Then you have the nerve to complain about boxing. Bunch of clowns 🤡
Ilia is already top 15 in featherweight tho. He just moved up for this fight and maybe Paddy next but if not he'll go back down, so technically he is a ranked fighter.
That's what Im starting to hate about the UFC its slowly becoming boxing when you hear even fans talking about "numbers", This guy is a draw or not", and all that BS. Since when did fans care about anything else rather than who is the strongest fighter 😤
Topuria's dangerous as hell. But let's entertain the thought he 'did' lose that matchup, what would happen then? He'd probably get his friends, find his opponent in the real world and try to murder him with numbers, that's just what guys like Topuria is like, more animal than man lmao
Paddy ain’t fighting this guy. Paddy’s strike defense isn’t very good. He has a decent chin but I don’t favor it against Ilia’s power. UFC will protect Paddy.
Guy is way too serious. Win a fight or two, call him out. Pimblett will get maybe one or two more wins. If this dude just stays on track he'll line up a fight with paddy.
He should thank his lucky stars that Paddy gave him a reason to lash out and make his name off somebody else... If it wasn't for Paddy, this dude would be about as popular as Jack Shore. Ilia might win the fight on paper but it really wouldn't surprise me if Paddy choked him out.
@@noworldfortheweak yeah I agree I never said anything about his English I stated “we need a translator” for the Spanish parts that is all they can still speak in Spanish that’s fine I just wanted to know because it’s an interview ya know
Uou are delusional if you think he can beat paddy why doesn't he move up weight class then why does he cut weight if that weight class is soo easy reason why he is fighting the smaller guys and cuts 20pounds
All this guy is gonna talk about is Paddy from now on because his star power is crap. Stop leaching off his name. He is like when pauli manilagi wanted to fight conor. Its actually really pathetic
He was throwing with POWER since the beginning! It was such a brutal KO😳
brutal
Paddy would submit him
@@DarkCloudNC haha paddy would submit his grandmother.
@@johnnyr7289 HAHA! You’re so funny!
NOT!!! Paddy by Sub
@@DarkCloudNC yes paddy will smack on a subway sandwich in the post fight presser after choking out his granny.
This guy is insanely skilled. The ufc will duck matching Paddy with those kind of guys until they really need too. Like with Sean omally.
He's not that great defensively, he needs to improve there but damn he's powerful..

Yh I feel he’s too much for paddy ilia is very skilled
Well said

Undefeated for a reason brilliant fighter.
This is the new killer in the division
Absolutely 👍
He was almost koed in the first round
He needs to go back to 145
@@tistakere5055 he took a kick to the face and 2 knees 95% of the guys wouldn’t recover. It’s called heart and being hungry.
Paddy wants no smoke
Simply if he's fight paddy,he will beat the piss out of the lad.
Anyway paddy would definitely find 1001 excuses never to fight this guy... period.

Man to come back from adversity and ko him like that. I thought Herbert was RIP
And he came up from featherweight to beat a much bigger man
@@JayTee713 yepp
He'd be a Contender at 155. That knockout power he posses is scary af
Nah he got caught too much by a dude that won't sniff the top 15. I think he'll move down to 145 because that's his natural weight class
@@kevindurantburner3592 he just replaced someone he didn't necessary wanted to fight at lightweight

After the Ariel interview I became a fan, he's a beast
Legit same 😂
He needs to go back to featherweight. He's a great fighter but he's undersized for this divison.
Thought this the whole time got way more pieced up than he should have because of the size disadvantage
He was almost stopped
155 is not the weight class for him
I guess we’ll see! True fighters are those who challenge themselves every day! If you’re comfortable in a same division for too long then it becomes boring. I’m proud to be a Georgian and we’re always ready to fight, it’s in our nature!!!
why does he keep switching divisions??
I think Herbert is kind of oversized for LW tho, don't think average LW is that tall or long.
Paddy is ducking this man
Illia needs to fight someone ranked at 145, calling out the small dog
@@hyp3mma Ilia fights at 155 now you bum casual !
As he should this dudes a beast

learn spanish DUMB

Topuria vs Jourdain, gogogogogogo
If dana pulled out a gun and told paddy to fight ilia then paddy would say "just shoot me"
This guy is legit.
Topuria faced some resistance against Glass Joe. Paddy and him would be a close one if he can make weight.
Topuria by first degree murder
Paddy ain’t fighting this guy. Paddy’s strike defense isn’t very good. He has a decent chin but I don’t favor it against Ilia’s power. UFC will protect Paddy.
Número 1!!!!!

Kenny Florian???
Guy is way too serious. Win a fight or two, call him out. Pimblett will get maybe one or two more wins. If this dude just stays on track he'll line up a fight with paddy.
The only way Padding my Record fights Ilia is if the UFC let him bring a bottle of hand sanitizer into the octagon 😂
Warrior 😎🔥
Give him Arman Tsarukyan!
The UFC is trying to build a superstar with paddy, just like they did with Sean O’Malley so they ain’t gonna let him fight ilia next.
Get this Tuporia is younger than the prospect Pimblett...let that settle in.
Ilia "the Georgian Kenny Florian" Tipoura
Bruh I have the perfect solution.
Guram Kutateladze, also Georgian and unranked just like Paddy wanted.

not sure what you mean-you can tell he's a good fighter-just by watching him fight.not everyone has the personality of Paddy and McGregor
