same bullshit in every Topuria Fight, he isnt better than volk, is other level (KO), he isnt beats max, he beats Gaethje (KO). Same history with Makhachev, Topuria always proves he is the best and will continue show that is the best p4p of the planet.
@ this is true. I do think he can sleep Islam but he won’t be able to just bully him if they’re on the ground. I feel like Islam would take him down, he wouldn’t feel obligated to stand and bang like these last couple guys

The greatest quote in combat history “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” I always think of that quote when anyone says max or volk “he was fighting well” I’ve heard that a lot the past few days
Ilia subbed Bryce Mitchell relatively easily and Bryce’s grappling is no joke. I also really like his style. His guard is really disciplined and he really takes his time to get to the perfect distance that works for him. He understands hes gotta eat the jabs and small damage to get his bomb off. MF still a villain but i gotta respect it
I don't think Islams grappling will present a problem for Topuria. It's Islams kicking game and knees up the middle that Topuria needs to watch out for.
@@hmsp7799 its cool hearing both perspectives from the mma space, they bring humor and levity from a viewers perspective and i like watching fighters podcasts from the perspective inside the cage yenno?
That's how I felt when Max laid Justin out, and I was becoming an Illa fan right before this fight, so it was like the best of both worlds, I see Max get what he gave and my new favorite was the one to do it 😊
I watched with my brother and he had both rob and max and I had the opposite he was done quick and didn't even wanna see the replay he was like how can I keep watching 😂
3:19 you got one person who wants to cut you off to get inside and unleash like Tyson, and then you have the other who has a habit of keeping his guard low and extended. What do you think is going to happen? With his hands down, he needed to create distance but it was not enough. It doesn't matter if he switched stances or if he stepped back with fundamentally sound footwork. Max got caught sleeping with his hands down and illia in too close, and the lights had no choice but to go out.
Ilis ain't interesting/likeable enough to drum up a storm along with Conor. (outside the cage, that is) On merit alone I'd love to see him face the top of 155, but something is still missing from having the crossover popularity of a PPV super star.
Topuria´s natural weight is about 165-170. He destroyed Jai Herbert, cold single punch KO in the early second round. I have no doubt about it. One day Topuria will be champion in 155 too. Topuria´s ground game is insane, just take a look at his record.
This reminded me of Frank Martin vs Gervontae Davis I always said Ilia is the Gervontae of the ufc! But yeah poor max he is still one if the greatest tho! 😊
@@BASEDapollo the fight reminded him of Frank vs Davis , but Illa also reminds the commenter of Gervontae in general (I'm assuming, since they referenced Illa being the Davis of the UFC)
5:09 wrong 😂. Illia indeed drops his hand when he throws his combos- overhand to left hook- for example. You have to draw it out with a straight right to left head kick. The straight right, especially it lands, would serve as the trigger. Of course illia is not going to drop his hand when he's just in his stance. That's not what anyone is insinuating. It's like you doing pad work with Freddie Roach. Every time you threw a jab, you'd drop your right hand and Freddie would smack you to remind you to maintain discipline. With illia, he doesn't bring his hand back into the position where he threw it from. That's when you catch him within that window.
The pro circuit gym insiders say that Topuria has knocked out 40 high level sparring partners over the last four years with the extra big 18 ounce gloves on, as well as taking down the Dagestany's at will, when they cross paths..That's where his confidence really comes from..It's true, because you hear it from reliable sources all over the world..He always says, "Time to spar" as he is walking out in the arena for his fights..In the 1st round Topuria is evaluating responses to his basic attacks, downloading the information that will allow him to get inside, where he needs to be, to land the shots, to finish the fight..Topuria isn't trying to win rounds, he is trying to get into the perfect position to end his opponent..A fighter with a good game plan could out point him..Volk probably does have the best chance out of the FW's..
Ilia started his career as a grappler. I think he can knock out Islam and i think he can do enough with his center of mass and footwork to maybe make it fun
9:26 😂 yet many people would rightfully argue that Volk beat Islam in their first fight- which was close. Here we have illia, who is bigger than Volk, at peak age physically, better on the ground and on the feet than Volk, yet he's gonna get mauled?
5:52 wrong. Illia is a better grappler than Volk but did you see Islam trying to wrestle Volk for 25 minutes? Unless your name is Merab, you will run out of gas trying to grapple with someone of illia's caliber.
The guy has more than 12 years in spain, his profetional training and carrer start in spain, and more important he felt spanish and the Spanish people feel that way too. I know it must be difficult for Americans to understand what it is to be an immigrant.
I don’t know man volk was ground and pounding Islam late in the 5th their first match, kind of saved by the bell and barely lost and Islam has been knocked out
ILIA ALL HIS LIFE IS IN JUDO AND WRESTLING! OF COURSE HIS WRESTLING IS BETTER THAN HIS BOXING! + HIS JIU JITSU!! PS: WHEN YOU TALKING ABOUT ISLAM GO REWATCH ISLAM VS VOLK 1 )) ILIA WILL BEAT ISLAM! )
how on earth u can say that islam is tooo big for ilia, after volk^islam first fight? xD if volk was able to put some big shots on islam, i can assure u that ilia is able to land more and more
He already took headkick from 155 Herbert’s and his better striker than Islam 😉 and he took his lights out chill my guy we get that ur mad about him for KOing max we all are 😂 however stop the cap ilia can KO Islam no problem U remember Alex vs Islam ? Now just imagine ilia instead of Alex and u’ll see 😉

Never thought max would ever be KO’d, I really thought this was gonna go to the judges 😭
He was knocked down, not KO'd.
He has taken the most shots in ufc history. So it's not crazy that he eventually cracked against a power striker like Ilia.
@@ShogunThomsenAfter ilia stopped punching Max, max was on the ground for like 40 seconds. It was definitely a ko. Just look at Max face.
@@ShogunThomsenmax out for a second.

Bones Jones is best p4p, where you been?
someone tell this guy topuria already fought at 155 on short notice and took herbert's light.
Islam is huge tho, jai is more of a lengthy striker. Islam is a bulky guy
@@youreafiend but he tooked his light out of a 6 ,1 guy

You realize that was already after Ilia hurt and staggered Bryce right? You try defending a takedown, a submission, while being dazed
He has a swarmer boxing style. Same with Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier. That's like the only way shorter guys can beat taller guys.
Volk is the same size as topuria and he was able to defend Islams grappling. I don’t understand the size argument.
I don't think Islams grappling will present a problem for Topuria. It's Islams kicking game and knees up the middle that Topuria needs to watch out for.
Its funny "the casuals MMa" gives the best insights and you are funny af. Subscribed

Max was landing the jab clean throughout the fight. Sad he got caught. Illia is just that guy!
He was but it was cuz his hands werent at a good defensive position, they were out like pereira, but max doesnt have power sadly
Y'all remember Illia was landing nasty calf kicks all 3 rds
Same thing happened with Volk. Ilia doesn't care if he has to eat jabs to close the distance and land the big shot unless you are Josh Emmett.
Himothy
Sad times however I saw the KO happening he kept circling towards illias power and would drop his hand
This is my favourite mma podcast by far.
it’s like khamzat was squeezing a watermelon lmfao
If you watch closer most of the shots Ilia took he was rolling with them. That takes SO much power out.
10:15 talking out your ass like he didn’t send a tall ass 155ers head into orbit already 😂 Ilia coming for 155 just wait on it
You guys are all great.
seeing max layed out i crashed out and cried.. in no particular order

I was saying weight cut too… I want to see a rematch for the bmf at 155
@MiarmudVon-v5zlet him cope 😂
Max looked drained against Yair, Ortega, etc and he won and no one said anything about weight but he gets KO'd and now it's a problem
Pain...
I was waiting for this episode🎉
Ilis ain't interesting/likeable enough to drum up a storm along with Conor. (outside the cage, that is) On merit alone I'd love to see him face the top of 155, but something is still missing from having the crossover popularity of a PPV super star.
Kind of disappointed how O'malley lost to Merab. If O'malley comes up and fight Ilia Ilia destroys him and his star power will literally skyrocket.
His tattoos was inspired by Conor but the man cant admit it along with his brother
@bullfknhead oh yeah max prolly copied Tony and petis too...
@@ristony113 woah you forgot benson henderson that's a sin

To be fair, Dana said that because they told him Francis was saying Dana owed him money. Can’t really blame him for not being happy about it 🤷🏻♀️

No one can beat islam, khabid would have to come back and fight him for islam to lose😂😂
