When Volk said ilia’s fight wasn’t that impressive, it cut ilia deep, broke his damn heart
Yeah he is crying while knocking people out 🤣
@@pau_co_music yes, he is both crying and knocking people out
Illia le romperá el corazón a puñetazos
They are selling the fight duh
that's cap, i watched that fight over 3x it's way better than volk vs yair fight even the islam fight
Everyone thinks they're tough until they get hit. Ask Rodriguez if he felt bored.
Lmao so true brother 🤣
This guy is undefeated and 26yo, give him a chance
@@pau_co_music Haha yeah right they all want a chance until they actually get a chance, Ask every 145 pounder who have wanted a chance 👊 Topuria is just another boi for volk to smeshhhhh!!
Boring fight? He needs to have his eyes checked.
😂😂😂😂
Volk dominated …it wasn’t boring at all
It wasn't exciting😂
He dominated AND it was a boring figth, they're not mutually exclusive, it is what it is.
@@jimmy31hendrixgo watch boxing
@@jimmy31hendrixyou must be a deonte wilder fan
@@rileygarcia1 Nah, I'll keep enjoying my MMA, even if some fights suck . . . like this one. 🤷♂
Volk would wipe that smile off
Shut up bby
Topuria is a much better wrestler and punch much harder.
Cap
How?
Topuria is business
Volk is the best fighter on planet earth
After Khamzat and Ilia
Illia exists btw
Let´s see him fighting against Ilya Topuria before making that statement
@@TonyHibbowho has illia beat?? volk would smoke that guy
@@REALISTOGEEdon't engage with these idiots, bandwagon jumpers
For anyone telling him it was not boring. Ilia is just taking a piss at Volk for saying his fight against Emmett was boring.
Emmit is a good fighter and to dominate him over 5 rounds is great illa did his job but he had a wounded 1 eyed Emmit he couldn't put away. Yair put Emmit away in 2 rounds as soon as he had him hurt and look what volk did to yair I can't see how anyone thinks he deserves a shot at the P4P King and 145 pound goat. Arnold Allen loss to Max was more impressive so I'd make illa vs Allan an the winner gets a shot at 145 King....
Beating Emmett is absolutely Not impressive. Emmett was lucky to be where he was, he got a undeserved win vs Kattar who's decent.. Emmet is pushing 40 and is a one trick pony with his overhand right spam
“The Boris fight I’ve ever seen in my life”
Former Prime Minister finds a new job after resigning from Parliament.
Boris v Ilia for the title shot?
He said borest thinking wrong that it was the superlative of boring. Something not so embarrassing for a non english native person.
@@xusco3 what's it's superlative
More boris than Rose vs Carla 2?
@@justsomeguywithafewmoregut4600 The superlative for boring is just 'most boring' :)
I understand Volk is the best fighter on the planet. But y'all need to see Topuria fight. The guy is so textbook in everything he does, and he's improving so much more. I wouldn't be too shocked if Volk lost to him. Ilia has got almost picture perfect basics to make him world champ.
Sure, Topuria is good. But HOW ON EARTH does he beat Volk as he is now? Volk is undoubtedly a superior striker, their grappling is similar, however Volk defended a lot of grappling from the best grappler in MMA rn, Islam, so I doubt Topuria would be even really a threat. And, Volk is ALWAYS analyzing his opponents to the next level. Topuria fights slow, and Volk would just overwhelm him with his exhausting pace. I love Topuria, he's good and I think a future champ. Just not while "The Great" exists. I think he needs at least 1 more top 5 fight before a title shot against Volk, and even if he does get that shot, I seriously doubt he wins
I refuse to believe someone is this dumb
@@wolfgangmozart1920volk ain’t better than topuria anywhere
@@wolfgangmozart1920One leg kick made the champ spins
Ilia definitely better than Volk and he is only 27 and doesn't have that much of experience either
Topuria gonna make a good gatekeeper for featherweight
He would get destroyed by Max, Yair and Ortega, not even close to a gate keeper.
Lmaooo stop it * Champ the future greatest ever🔥 y’all gon learn asap
@@shanekay8278he beats all of them easly
@@rozierg8184 Based on what ? going the distance with Emmet coming off a loss lol, seriously come up with something other than blind love for him
@@shanekay8278he beats all of them except max maybe
Volk runs through this guy 😂
Like some people were saying robert runs through du
@@krishnendusamanta2900 don’t ever compare volk the p4p king to whittaker 😂 casual
No man Ilia gonna hit the wall like Yair did
@@krishnendusamanta2900Volk the great is different than Bobby kikatter who just kicks and runs
@@krishnendusamanta2900difference is volk is in his prime.. not Bobby knuckles. He’s been out of his prime he’s just very good
Feed him to Volk.
Volk will eat him alive.
imagine if ilia finishes volk, that'd be insane if he does
@@draco2xx It would be a huge upset. But, it’s a mammoth task for Topuria to finish volk, He needs a conditioning fight, before he fights Volk, or else he will get smashed.
I like Topuria’s style, BUT he needs to work on something that will totally surprise Volk. Many people sleep on Volk’s fight intelligence, but he is smart. So, Topuria needs to be smarter, make zero mistakes, Be better on defending takedowns and outstrike Volk. I don’t see him getting a TKO or a Submission win, The only way he can beat volk is through decision. So, he needs to fight smart.
@@soulchemist57955 round desicion against volk with an infinite gas tank aint going to happen
@@soulchemist5795ilia wrestling is better than volks😂
Topuria is such a hater😂
he actually likes him a lot, he just want to fight for belt bro he's acting , I'm georgian but i think he has small chance against volk
He is coping
He's gonna lose like anybody else
He just confident and wants to sell the fight and he clearly said he is a great champion did u watch the video?
I was not impressed by your performance
He is super hurt about what Volk said about his fight 😂
I Know what he is saying is kind of nonsense (i'm a fan of HIM) BUT i think he has reason in one thing, YAIR Lost the fight before he stepped into that octagon
Agree
Topuria english has improved hugely since his last press conference. The guy learns quick.
I dunno what would happen between Volk and Topuria, but i genuinely think Topuria will put up more fight than Max or Yair, based in what we've seen so far. Max always takes tons of damage, Yair is a glass canon with great power but not elite defense. I cannot help but seeing Topuria as the only one with enough tools for having a good chance or at least to gave us a hell of a fight.
very very true
What topuria has is power , and a combination with that. But literally, how is he gonna set that up with volk when he’s always feinting and catching counters too. Volk isn’t an easy fighter to just go straight with him. I honestly thought he would get at least a quick sec ko from yair from a leg kick. But the dude couldn’t land a good a kick Anyways. Was giving him to different fighting sides . One thing tupuria fights slow but got power. Very interesting gonna be for tupuria
@@alexandermoretti5448 I like Topuria a lot and hope he beats Volk, but I think Topuria just relies on his speed and power, he can be hit. Volk will be too quick and technical I fear, Topuria won't be able to wrestle him either I imagine.
@@ChuckwaldMartin exactly!! Haha u said like how I wanted to say it lmao but that’s exactly what is was thinking too he’s just relying on his powers which he does have put needs to set it up to do that power punch. Let’s just see how it goes on the next fight. So pump alr 😭💀
Who's this clown
The Turdpiria fans are sounding the same as Yair fans before the Volk fight how he was going to run through Volk etc. pure comedy. At least Yair is humble and respectful
I feel like his English got better the longer the interview went on
This fight will be more exciting then people think. Will be a absolutely banger !!
So was every fight against Volk until they get destroyed by him lol
@@spreiikperfect reply to that fool
@@shikharsingh1674the champ is here LOL........
That’s what we said about this fight and look what happened 😂
this guys body language was scared and anxious when he faced of with volk
That was my first thought too, but English is Toporias third or fourth language, he still struggles with it
body language experts already
@@ryangreen45 no but in this case it was obvious
@@raizelnnimok Bolgar 😂😂
Agree that Yair was already defeated at the very beginning. His face was like a rabbit
He looked extremely confident. After the first round, though, he looked like he had just gotten out of bed
Exactly Yair looked scared the whole time he was just there for a paycheck
He has the best chance of beating Volk, excellent fighter.
Fr, crazy how people are sleeping on him and hating on him, i see him taking the conor route in featherweight.
Just the fact he said it was a boring fight, that makes him a buffoon
Volkanovski vs Topuria would be a great fight.
From the perspective of seeing Topuria get the piss beaten outahim for all his dumbass talking. From a matchup point...it's laughable how easy money it would be for Volk.
Ilia vs Allen
@@kapow1324 I don't think it would be so easy for Volkanovski.
@@jmz2144 Good fight also.
hopefully its booked for december or november
He should fight Max first. Max will derail this hype train.
Lmaoooo Ilia dominates max w easeeee
Max is booked and Yair needs time off. Give him the contract vs Volk whenever the champ is ready.
Vas a reventar al calvorota Ilia
If Tofuria is an easy opponent, it is easy for Volkanovski to agree to fight and win easily, why doesn't he do that? I think it is easy to understand that he is afraid of Tofuria. 👑🇬🇪🇪🇸
Topuria is nobody for him.Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway,Khabib is Volk's level not this taxi driver😂
I have no idea why people thought Rodriguez would beat volk i believe ila is harder fight for him his ground game is top notch and his striking is also very good Rodriguez got folded by max people need to watch more fights
tell topuria to defeat first holloway allen arnold yair then talk about volk
@@sunilsabat-0483 AFRAID OF TOPURIA BEATING VOLK?? I SEE...HAHAHAHA
@@sunilsabat-0483yair only had to fight against emmet and he got a title shot, Ilia is in a huge winstreak and he is undefeated, he has shown he has the skillset to challenge Volk
@@heassik3088 yair defeat josh emeet easily dominate him and take less time then topuria
Volk wipes the floor with him.
I think he should fight Yair between now and fighting Volk
keep sleeping on ilia u casual
@@draco2xx Volk does wipe the floor with him if Josh Emmet can rock him a couple times lol... Volk finishes the man.
@@WunnSEN IF kelvin gastelum rocked gynosanya , then whittaker koes him in ufc 243
ilia vs volk makes more sense plus it will sell like crazy and could possibly be a classic fight whether ilia win or lose
Como mexicano, concuerdo con Topuria: Yair entró al octágono con actitud de que iba a perder. Apenas le dió unos buenos golpes a Volka y este lo puso en su lugar rapidísimo.
Toporia gonna lose too. Volk is too skilled and too strong for FW. He should move up to LW for fair challenges.😂😂
Es que sabía que no tenía nada para derrotar a volka ,las piruetas y patadas j chan no son para el nivel top,te derriban te cansan en fin lo que vimos.
@@Mcmurphy63Podia ganar cualquiera de los dos. Y tiene razon al poco de entrar perdio confianza y al minuto del 2 round igual. No lucho, se dio por vencido y lo admite cuando paran la pelea. Esa confianza en uno mismo es lo que puede hacer campeon a Topuria. ( Bueno la confianza influye mucho, pero tambien es bueno en muchos terrenos... Solo hay que ver su ultima pelea que su punto debil fue su fuerte y dio catedra... No le llevo al suelo para que no dijeran que Topuria era superior en el suelo y por eso vencio) En este combate tenia claro que ganaba Volka, pero la verdad que tenia esperanzas en Yair y segun pasaron 2 rounds me defraudo un poco... Ambos son muy peligrosos pero se centro en protegerse y apenas atacar.
@@Mcmurphy63Y para mi Emmett perdio la pelea si, pero demostro ser un luchador de verdad, eso es un luchador, dio con todo perdiendo y no se rindio en ningun momento! (En el round 4 lo deberían de parar por seguridad pero siguieron y creo que por suerte esta bien y no tiene lesiones). Yair en cuanto fue al suelo solo se tapo la cabeza y no hizo nada por defenderse, esquivar o atacar...
At this point it's just us looking who's gonna give the next W to Volk. That man is a fkin tyrant. He has everything. He's strong, he's technical and he's intelligent. I don't think we'll see him losing in the next years. The only one who managed to beat him was a much bigger Mackachev, and he didn't even win with a big margin. This man is gonna dethrone Aldo as the FW GOAT i think.
Another Guy with a big talk...until he gets his mouth shut by Volk with a KO.
(Same like Yair)
i guess u haven't seen the ilia vs emmett fight 😂
Short guys easy,,,,,,
How TF was it boring? He mauled him and finished him.
That's why it was boring. Too one sided.
At least the press conference of volks vs ilia soon not be boring, the thrash talk on the line
That's what i was thinking about....Yair already lost the match wat before the fight....same happened with Gane against jones..."i will lose mentality"....well said topuria... future champ.
Lol
Same with Nunez
Tried pulling a poor man’s GSP insult at the start 😂
I knew it that Yair gonna lose the fight but this man can defeat volk. Thats my assessment, i might be wrong.
Dead wrong
He beats volk.. undefeated and more accurate and skilled everywhere. More efficient.
@@KulDegun He is not a better striker or wrestler than Volk.
@@KulDegun Talk is CHEAP. Match them and let's see what happens.
@@KulDegunhow and where is he better than Volk? Volk neutralized most grappling from the best grappler in the UFC, who also happens to be bigger than both him AND Topuria. Topuria is good, but not a great striker in comparison to people like Max and Yair. Volk is easily on the same level of striking, if not better than them. His style is TERRIBLE for Topuria, because Topuria really poses no grappling threat, and Volk has better striking. He'd PROBABLY out pace and just overwhelm Topuria, cause voli is very active, or tends to be, while Topuria is a slow fighter who takes his time. I do think Topuria is a future champ, hes REALLY well rounded. Just, not like Volk, nor will he be a champ when Volk still has that crown.
Grande Ilia!! Vamos!!
😂
Deja de avergonzarte
And Ilia Topuria Knocked Volk out cold as he predicted.
Me flipa Topuria hablando en inglés, por qué motivo ha dicho que no le gustaban los estudios? No es que hablé inglés perfectamente, pero se nota que tiene la capacidad para hacer lo que quiera, dentro y fuera del octógono.
Yair isn't much strategic, The headbutt he ate from volk would've made Aljo the Featherweight champion.
Volk's gonna smash and humble Ilia when they fight, Ilia's undefeated record will end soon enough
It might be Volkanovski title reign that's gonna end, watch out.
Volk vs Topuria in Madrid would be huge fight. And best for the sport
Not in Madrid
@@exceptico6156 any reason why not?
It would be a greater event in USA or Australia. The reference here is Volka, not Topuria.
@@exceptico6156 Australia and USA are already in this market. Spain is #6 GDP and one of the wealthiest European country, fans are passionate, I said it would be huge for UFC and mma to tap in this market.
In Volk's perspective, it would be first ever UFC event (PPV), THE HISTORY, which Volk is after.....
Ilia can stop Volks takedown, standup wise Ilia can knock volk out, he's got power in his hands😎
Yep but the difference is volk is very experienced against strikers.. if volk was weary and able to counter hairs kicking ko power I think he can also use topurias strengths against him.. though I am biased bc I love volk as a fighter
Volk has a strength of a middle weight class. just watch how he carry Yair just like a baby😂😂 dude is a small freak
Ok Punjabi 😂😂
Topuria good lock to your future big pressure to fight him but your power is yours
He knows it wasn't boring he's just making sound bites for promos
Although a great win, that fight with Josh Emmett was a tough day at the office. If there's anytime to fight Volk it's now. Hopefully by the end of this year
Ilia next champ
Champ of the deluded fools 🤡
😂😂😂😂😂
In your mind
Volk will end yet another hype train…. Topuria has nothing for him, most complete fighter on roster
Too young he should fight one more guy is too soon to take on volk.
He’s next in line he don’t got a choice
@@robdinero282Max
Was a fan of Topuria but after hearing him insult Volk- I now hope he gets knocked out!!
I agree! Volk is not a mixed martial artist! He is more of a striker brawler! He doesn’t have finishing rate, submission! But he is durable freak!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They both have a similar grit. Yair was a handsome and floating artist, but Ilia would be the rugby thickness that would truly challenge Volk.
I've said that Yair is in a loosing state of mind I couldn't believe when i'm seeing when Yair showed the hand made custom belt.. It supposed to be motivating.. He was talking about it like it's furniture..no other significance
Topuria and volk is the fight to make... period
My guys channeling his inner gsp with that 1st comment! 😅
i was not impressed by your perfomance - lmfao this gsp’s easter egg funny af
Ilia is a prospect for sure but can he beat alex, dont think so.
Firstly I think what Ilia said was the fight was “the poorest fight he’s ever seen in his life” I don’t think he was calling the fight boring but that was his attempt at trash talking and selling the fight with him and Volk. I think that was an easy misunderstanding. Secondly, he’s not the greatest interview I’d like to see him, improve in that aspect. Also in his kicking game, if he wants to stand a chance against Volk. He’s amazing everywhere but doesn’t throw enough kicks, Volk will capitalize on that weakness.
The fight was boring he meant what he said Yair was just there to collect a paycheck
yea... it's true because he dominates every fighters.
He's trying hard to stir things up
Hes right yair was gun shy the 3rd he found out courage but before he was defeated he wouldve fought volk like the 3rd
Volk will walk thru this guy aswell only challenge is moving up in weight class
Do I believe Ilia is ready for Volk? I am not. But we should not forget that this year, two champoins were knocked out cold, and Ilia 100% got the power to do it.
That being said, I think Ilia need a little bit more fighting xp, especially on that level.
In their last 2 fights Volk was aggressor the whole time while Ilia just sat and waited for counters, which is much easier than leading the dance. Ilia got skills though, but that statement was just stupid. He is just salty about Volk not giving him his due. Ilia needs to fight 1 or 2 more guys before getting a shot. 4 choices there. Make rankings mean something again.
This guy is gonna have a rude awakening
volk is a champ....his strength, power, and speed due to a former rugby player man....and most importantly his gameplan according to contender and a never give up attitude.....
Haha this guy will be humbled. Hes doesnt even believe his own bullshit
I’d rather see Ryan Hall fight Volk
"Hang around heavy weight..."
Ilia different, most complete fighter on earth!🐐🔥 man I can’t wait for him to be champ forever
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Get off the drugs.
Ilia couldn't finish emmet yet he thinks he has a chance against volk😂, volk will embarrass him. Only thing beating volk is time.
Ilia didn't finish Emmett would be more correct statement. Watch round 4 again, Ilia was throwing Emmett around with heavy punches
😂😂😂Ilia by whatever he wants, most complete fighter on earth, watch & learn
@@QuentinAnthony7🤣🤣🫣🫣
@@beqabumbeishvili9358 still didn't finish him
@@QuentinAnthony7bro said he dominates max with ease stop
Sounds like Conor before fighting Khabib
Big fan of illa but volk had a gameplan an executed it to perfection 💯
Toporia gonna lose too. Volk prepares his fights according to his opponents. He's too skilled and too strong for FW division.
Its GSP vs Matt Hughes all over!
Before he try to insult people on their fight trying to work on your stuttering problem buddy
Ilia hits way harder than Yair, and his wrestling is so strong and free flowing
Then lets match Yair and Topuria while Volk's arm recovers from surgery.
He needs to fight yair or Max then he gets his shot,
This mf will be humbled badly.
I thought Ilia was talking number 1 bullshit.
So, I Wikied his name, and he is currently 6-0 in the UFC and undefeated in his professional career.
Alex The GOAT vs Ilia "I will top ya" Topuria is obviously the fight to make.
anyone who thinks volk would beat ilia even easier is delusional, completely different matchup ilia has a decent chance
Hes going to get humbled
Topuria failing to act like gsp 😂
LOL this man said he was "CONFIRMED" too go in the cage and face off with Volk before the fight, then got made too look like a clown when it turns out that's not true at all 🤣
Ilia is the best, Georgian Power!
people just say things these days to cause a stir 🤦♂
Give him to Holloway first
Illa is a great fighter but volk is something different it will be a great fight but volk beats him
TOPURIA, TE QUEREMOS Y DESTRONARÁS A VOLKANOSKI
😂😂
Ilia calling volk small, what’s that all about?
Volk is small, he's a dwarf.
Faux hate is just cringe, not to mention diminishes your potential win. DERP.
Ilia is really good. One of the more impressive prospects in recent times and he packs real power and is well-rounded. With that said, Volk destroys him right now. If he wants to keep his 0 then he should stay the hell away from Volk.
If he wants to be a Champ he should face Volk.
@llawliet3733 It doesn't matter if he faces Volk, he still won't be champ because he will lose. He is young, he should wait him out.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 Wouldnt be that satisfying if he beats "someone" for the Title instead of a Legend
@@llawliet3733 True. My point is more that I don't think he can beat Volk outside of a lucky punch. If he wants to challenge himself then he should go for it but he has to be prepared to lose and work his way back up.
It was actually a great fight they were both striking , Volk cracked him but he also got cracked over his head too a few times. I hope Volk knocks this clown out he’s talking a very big game
Why do all these Fighter get a short cut to a Title Fight This guys done nothing Beat a Holloway Beat Ortega do something instead of running your mouth Volk Fought everyone
Heavyweight?? 1:22
middleweight champ in the background
He don’t believe what he’s saying 😂😂😭
This guy would be get demolished by Volk.
max and yair can smoke this guy no need for volk to do it
