#UFC #ufc298
"if i can't handle losing, i dont deserve to win" great words from Whittaker.
I didn't see your comment before posting mine. I'm glad someone enojoyed those words as well
I cant wait for Robert Whittaker to fight SOMEONE at UFC 298!!!
Borrachinha 🇧🇷💪
@packedlunchbox7228 by a bloke kisser too
volk will step in for his own co main
No usada,Costa defo gonna be there 😂
@mrblonde1264 you realise they still testing the exact same stuff with the new testing place?
Henry firing his coach on camera made me spit out my drink 😂
He's so dramatic
Henry will lose. I train 15 minutes down the road from him and the community talks, he's lost a step.
That was fuck up but it show the person he is.
Henry’s whole segment didn’t feel genuine to me. I felt like the firing in was a staged interaction and the whole point of the video was to make Henry’s brother seam legitimate as an mma coach so he can start a career coaching.
@@rationalthinker9612well yeah. That and. He lost his last fight. How’s Scottsdale treating ya?
This is easily some of the best production the ufc has ever made
Common comment
One of the most boring one lol
I’ve seen this comment too many times to tell you overall their production is top tier in every big UFC event. Really does the job to build up and have you catch up with fighters
Every single one of these is amazing. Countdown’s production team is unmatched.
Especially the Ilia intro part
lol Topuria saying volk is short when he looks about an inch taller with shoes on
That’s the joke bud
Topuria will not win Volk is different animal great fight tho
@@beastieking1 He wasn't joking though bud
@@yoma2977 they’re the same height you don’t really believe that
@@beastieking1Given everything Topuria has said and posted on social media we already know he is slightly delusional so of course he meant this
Volk coming off of a big loss and training his ass off vs Topuria with No-loss and lifelong dream of UFC belt. What an incredible matchup yall.
Facts
Volk wants it more.
Volk's had already, that changes you@@Maggdusa
@@alexalverez9297 How has it changed him? Volk has gotten way better since becoming champ. He's always improving. His last performance is not a testament to anything. Extremely short notice and out of shape. Volk puts in more work than anyone in the gym. Only way I see him losing is if his chin is diminished from lack of rest.
@@alexalverez9297
Not sure what you’re thinking with that comment? Volk is a killer and has never shown being too comfortable in his position. People always sleep on Volk haha.
The country of Georgia should be proud of Merab and Topuria.
And we are...
Desde luego, gracias Georgia por compartir con nosotros la gran figura que es Ilia Topuria
Yeah, he loves Georgia so much he lives in Spain.
Glad you left out Dolidze that last fight was terrible
he was talking how if he wins it will change the landscape of MMA in Spain. Not really thinking about his Roots!
Henry "Didnt wanna do it in front of everyone, just cameras" Cejudo
Strictly business 😂
Respect to Aljo for keeping his word and moving up to 145 so Merab has his chance.
yeah after he got the rematch denied multiple times even tho he kept begging 😂
Aljo a friend for that
@@RobertoGomez-hp8wu Really??? If he was a real friend he would have let Merab get the Sugar fight. Instead Merab is wasting his career fighting Henry. He's a fake friend
@@KD-vq2wt Aljo has no control over who gets to fight Sean for the title...
@@KD-vq2wt they both just do with the UFC says. That’s why it’s very difficult to become best friends with someone when you fight in the same division.
Topuria driving that Aston Martin sequence was dope!
Yeah it was so dope how he crosses the center line. Dudes delusional and can't drive.
@@choochthepooch4427😂😂
If he wasn't so short he would look like a bond villain
@JONATHANJOHNSON-tn4rk where are u now??🤡🤡😂
One of the only things that is making me believe in ilia topuria is his confidence, sheer will and hardwork. He has good skills but volk has seen everything. I'm excited for this matchup🎉
A really interesting matchup.... both guys are beasts, l can't even have a side
Come back when volk humbles topuria 😂
Pyfer was confident
Wouldn't that be why most people are believing in him?
Topuria va a ganar
ilia definitely believes he can walk on water, the confidence and belief he got in himself is impressive😂
Bro already has his bio as champion 15-0💀
He's going to find out he'll sink like a stone against volk.
That's called overconfidence
He got rocked by jai volk easy money 😂
@@goodxd701Conor Mcgregor swag he took it the next level ,dream it achieve it
I don't believe ilia is in his prime yet that is what's scary.
ilia Topuria en cada pelea ha ido subiendo el nivel, eso es lo más impresionante, vs Volka, veremos a un Ilia nuevo.
Yeah he’s still young for this sport.
And a non prime ilia can beat volk in his prime, that is scary
volk is probably on the way out of his prime now, hes over 35, prime usually early 30s@@sRvDj
He is 100% in his prime lmao
"if I can't handle losing, I don't deserve to win". Nice quote by Mr. Whittaker
Henry "sometimes you're just to close to your coaches"... brings in his brother
maybe he hates his brother LMAO
This fight is going to be so insane. Out of all the guys of the new generation, Topuria is true devastation when he fights. Volk has been a monster at 145. Gonna be fireworks next Saturday.
can we just respect that torpuria vs volk is going be the fight of the year
I hope so we shall see in less than 7 days now
dont jinx it
I agreee
❤❤❤🇪🇸💯💯
Lol. Ilia has not fought any of the top FW fighters…Max, Yair, Ortega etc. He’s been rushed to a title fight. Volk will melt him.
Costa looks different. It’s not just secret juice. The sauce is ON
He looks big. Hopefully no issues with making weight
no usada costa lol
this footage is not recent
The thick juice
@@marcuschen786doesn’t matter, the new company tests for the same shit. Not like they’re allowed to do steroids now.
I actual think Ilia may take it… no hate towards volk but it feels like the dawn of a new age after that head kick
Volk gonna show there’s levels to this
Yes , Illia is much better
Volks loosing
By losing like the bum he is
@@incelsnightmare bro 😂 you can not honestly say that Volk is a bum. If you think ilia is gonna win then yeh sweet but you have absolutely ZERO ground to suggest Volk, who’s going on his 6th title defence is a bum. That is just some straight up hater mentality
@@CharlieSquallfacts people are living off nostalgia its time for the new age
UFC finally learned from there mistake by not giving Topuria to Holloway, otherwise Max would have drowned him and the hype train would have been derailed!
😂
Fact
Will you come back when Illia becomes champ this weekend?
@@LordKrishna41Just cause he can beat Volk doesn't mean he can beat Holloway as well.
Facts. Holloway destroys Topuria 10/10 times
Volkanovski is the adult lion, the alpha male who has been ruling his lands for years, and Topuria is the young but powerful lion who will try to defeat the old alpha male to keep everything.
Very eager to see the outcome of this epic fight
Illia is a hyena
Ilia has yet to prove shit... outboxing Josh Emmet isn't impressive...
@@Kaihegon background Ilia IS wrestling and bjj, no boxing
@@Kaihegon josh emmet would piece you up lol. hes a beast.
Volk vs topuria will be a fight of the year !
It's good that Ilia is SO confident and dismissive of Volk. It helps sell the fight. BUT if Ilia is hoping that it rattles Volk, and Volk might do something rash, he's right out of luck. Volk is just about the most mentally solid fighter on the UFC roster. It won't affect him at all.
If anything, Volk fights better with a chip on his shoulder, like when he fought Max the 3rd time
Reminds me of Costa pre Izzy, he has skills and the aesthetic but reality will stun him. Don’t think he’s ready for the fall off.
@@aryamanmani4025Yup. And the sad thing is that Ilia won’t get any easy bounce back fights. There’s Yair, Max, Arnold Allen etc. waiting for him after he loses to Volk. I think he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
@@mrspiff6955 Exactly, I feel his whole aura reminds me of Costa pre Izzy.
I think we have already seen that Volk isn’t currently the mentally toughest. He should be seeing a therapist right now for his mental health, not doing another fight 3 months after he just got KO’d
Did Cejudo really told his longtime coach he got benched for this trainingscamp? That's cold
if he loses this, thats gonna be shit feeling in the next camp
@@ankitpradhan4183That’s if he goes into a next camp he said he might retire after this fight if he loses
Yes he did
Henry cejudo cold as hell😅 I'm gonna fire you on countdown
Merab will retire Henry like he did with Aldo :)
Getting home from work to a 47 min embedded show edited and filmed by the best in the business UFC, ahh this is good
Henry Cejudo is undeniably one of the fighters of all time
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
of the kids division
Haha that aljo loss really was underwhelming
FINALLY, the mythical Costa in 2024!
Man I ain't gonna believe it until I hear Buffer saying his name.
So credulous!😅
Believe whatever you hear.
Hope se, he can Israel can rematch if he wins Robert 😅🤣
Fight is going to be at catweight
Only believe when the door is closed n costa still inside
Getting close
Pause
i feel that but do hoping it happens i love to see costa fighting hope it's as good as him and rockhold
Paulo Costa will put out the fight before this goes live 😂😂😂
ilia calling volk short is like a homeless person calling another person homeless😭😭
He is just a bit taller haha
Also a really dumb comment seeing as most of his opponents at featherweight have been taller and he’s dismantled them. So not sure where the projection is coming from
@@carphucker2973you gotta be dense to not realize it’s shit talk aka a joke. Clearly he knows they’re basically the same height
@@beastieking1you don’t have to comment everywhere defending his shitty joke hahahahahah
Must be something with those BW/FW fighters. 😂
Yooooooo Merabs intro was fkn 🔥🔥🔥
Ilia es un genio. Trabajador, con aptitudes y una mentalidad indestructible. Es inspirador y todos estamos con él
UFC 298 is stacked!! Let’s go Volk, Robert Whittaker and Henry Cejudo 😊
Topuoria doesn't use kicks, too 1 dimensional in his striking
42:30 I have fu*king tears from proud! 🇬🇪 LFG boys! All in! ✍🏼
Wooow Goosebumps! 🇬🇪 We are all at 298!
39:25 for Henry firing his coach
Let's go Australia
Lol.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE
🎉🎉🎉🎉lets go volka
I love UFC,I'm from Poland,live in UK and this is tradition to me to wake up at night every saturday
Ilia is so confident If he beats Volk he will definitely be a great champ may the best man win💪
No he won't. He said he dint want to fight half the 145ers and wants conor next
Joe Pyfer was very confident yesterday. Didn’t help him. There’s levels to the fight game.
Dude's avoiding contenders already and he's not even champ lol
This Connor McGregor wannabee came out and said he would he not give a rematch to one of the most dominant champs in the history of UFC, or to any of the top 3 that he cue jumped....seriously the worst thing I've heard in 3 decades of MMA.
@jordanhayes568 Illia looks well rounded against Bryce and Emmett
UFC 298 is literally gonna be 20 mins from my house lol
feel special?
I can hear Ilia's excuse in Marlon's voice, *"I had diarrhea all week..."*
Vamos Costa 🙏🏼🇧🇷
😂 I'm goin for him cuz I look like him lmao🎉
Bum
@@davidpineda9160 hey hey be nice 😂 I disapprove 100 %
What i recently understand is when we get old our mentality is became more accurate but our body won't let that!
Our warrior ancestors are proud of you Ilia and Merab , two Georgians so close to the UFC Belt 🇬🇪🇬🇪 it is amazing for such a tiny country with 4 million People .
This has got me so pumped!!! Great documentary, really well done
merab has 9 fight win streak in which there are 2title challangers and two former champs ,and sean is fighting number 6 guy for first defense.this sport is no longer who is the best its who can make u more money.merab is new tony ferguson
And thats fax
Good
100% Merab getting the shaft but to be fair he screwed himself with giving Aljo so much leeway and refusing to challenge.
It’s always been that way
@@Palaecro True. You never say no to Dana White.
Let's go Ilia! 🔥
Volk via TKO
Whittaker via UD
Merab via UD
Stacked card. Let's go.
Ilia
Costa
Cejudo
@@jmz2144 ilia
whittaker
merab
ilia is winning
Illia is losing.
Whittaker won’t beat Costa. Volk will destroy Ilia. If Merab can’t take down Henry, he might get KO’d.
This card is absolutely stacked and deserves more promotion. I got Volk, Robert, and Divishsjsaliwawx 😂
Sorry bro not everyobe is Lopez 🤣🤣Write correctly the Georgian unique surname
these countdowns are sooo underrated... they're beautifully done every time and WHO does the narration? got a voice like country silk my friend :)
One of the greatest opening cards countdowen oh my god
Ilia got that young McGregor confidence before he fought Aldo 👀
No, he got the Paulo costa confidence before he fought adesanya
Henry getting rid of his coach for this camp, on camera was mad disrespectful 😂😂😂
Topuria, Costa and Henry coming for blood…mark it
So many people hate of Costa, he’s a real genuine person and the love his brother and him have for one another is badass. Paulo is going to knock out Robert.
Cejudos brother is really smart in correcting Cejudos approach to some of those front headlock positions. The reason to move slower in some spots is you you reduce your opponents openings to create separation. You wanna stay heavy on them and controlled. He changed his wrestling for the DJ fight and never really changed that wrestling approach too much. Will be interesting to see if this makes a difference against Merab.
Merab has multiple fights with 15+ takedown attempts and not a single one landed. Cejudo will be fine
I agree, no one is more in your corner than your brother either, he cares if his brother gets hurt or makes mistakes, so he will do what he needs to do and say what he has to say, even if Henry hates it, to make sure he’s prepared.
This could be amazing for Henry.
Craig impressed by volks acting skills 😂
I would consider this card a success if Paulo Costa step inside the Octagon.
cejudo firing his coach on film is crazy
Him pretending it was a prank is cringe
Henry Cejudo: I’m sick of peoples opinions
Also Henry Cejudo : I gotta seek out other opinions 😂
Ilia calling someone “short” is hilarious 😂🤣
Slow down rob holy smokes dude building a nation
4 kids😮😂
He's just getting together his Counter-Strike team
Let's go Merab and Ilia 🇬🇪 წარმატებები ბიჭებო 🇬🇪 LFG 🇬🇪
LFG ras nishnavs shegidzliat ro amixsnat?
Let's fucking go მემგონი!@@uknownguy2816
Eric was putting on a brave face but you could tell that hurt him and he was super uncomfortable. That shouldn't have been done on camera. Even if it was discussed before.
Fcken really hope henry wins , really love the way the dude works. Cmon CCC bring it home.
Volk in 3. The Spaniard goes down from a body shot, followed by ground and pound. TKO with 1:33 left in the 3rd.
Its gonna be a finish like against rodriguez
and then you woke up
VOLK will ragdoll this SKALIWAG kid in the HEXAGON!!!!
Calling it right now, Volk vs Ilia will be fight of the year contender!! I can not wait for this fight!!!! Also, I soooo hope Ian Garry gets humbled!
He has twice already by getting baited by a 40 year old cougar, and then having Sean make sure everyone knew he made such cringe move. Who is coming up in the world and chooses an older women who is running your money, wrote a book about how to be this type a women and if not mistaken she has a "business manager/ husband" and they are in this kinda thing together.
Who the hell has topuria even fought since joining the ufc not one ranked in top 5
He’s been rushed to the title shot. Volk will school him. Won’t be pretty.
Yep, time for Volk to derail this hype train.
The Emmett fight was brutal but he's also getting fast tracked. Should have had one more fight before a title fight.
@@Palaecro agreed. Would love to see him up against Holloway or Rodriguez, that would of been the perfect litmus test before volk
Topuria gonna win mark my words .
BEST OF LUCK TOPURIA - YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE- DESTINED TO BE GREAT-!!!!🥊💤🥊
This should be a really good card. There are so many fights that could go either way in any second. I can't wait.
WHAT A CARD !!! LET'S F'N GO !!!
SO PUMPED 🙌
Glad Aljo is finally letting his friend get a shot at the belt
Lol Merab aint fighting for the belt yet
That Merab intro was sick
Cejudo in a new camp this late in his career? Says he's tired of hearing different perspectives from his coaches?
Bet the house on Merab
He got rid of the Yes men homie. If you saw what that dude said when he lost to Aljo you would be happy he got rid of him. I predict a BETTER Cejudo
Excited for this main event. Topuria is exciting matchup for volk but volk is volk. 145 volk is goat. Max can't outstrike him ortega can't submit him nobody can beat him. I'm sure after defend this one he gonna be FW goat.
"If I can't handle loosing, I don't deserve to win " -Robert Whittaker
Volk will make topuria humle 💯🔥
What a card ladies and gentleman!!!!
costa vs whittaker could be one of the most fun fights of all time if all goes well
Anything with Costa is
The more I see Topuria train and his highlights, the more I believe he is going to beat Volk. I am a massive Volk fan. Topuria just seems like a very hard test for the champ.
I'm a huge Volk fan too but if anyone has the possibility of betting him at featherweight, it's Ilia Topuria. It's the aspects of MMA that he's good at and the way he utilizes those things that make him such a challenge.
Really ? I was impressed at all with the footage of him training. Look how much more intense volk trains compared to illia.
This is my exact same sentiment. I'm a huge, huge Volk's fan, but Ilia's speed man... my goodness. Fast hands, knockout power, and amazing take down defence. The kid has been grappling since his teenage years. The fact that Ilia prefers standing to strike now is an indication of how well-rounded he is.
In the fight against Yair, I honestly believed Yair had the striking edge over Volk on the feet if he could keep his distance and keep his emotions in check. But Volk nullified that advantage by closing the distance and taking him to the ground.
Ilia is as dangerous on the ground as he is on the feet. And his boxing technique? Speed? Energy conservation? Lol.
If Volk wins this one, it would be by the skin of his teeth.
Everyone looks impressive when they’re training
lookin like 298 and 299 are more stacked than 300 n after jones' last fight I can't believe Uncle Dana thinks his next fight will be a UFC 300 caliber fight...
no one ever truly came back from being knocked out, respect for Volkman, he is the goat in FW but i think he didn't have enough time to recover from that head kick KO, Ilia will be too much for him
Sean, Stipe, Cain, Islam, Whittaker, Adesanya, Sterling, DJ. I mean...
Comment of a casual
Alex Pereira was knocked out unconscious by Izzy. 2 fights later he’s the LHW champion. That’s the most recent example. You’re a casual bum.
@@pcsolutionman 😂😂😂
@@shadowbreaks Sean, Islam and maybe DJ but the others I don't think so, like it is yet to be seen
I never liked Topuria until I heard what he said to Volk at the face off.
Merav vs Henry is potential fight of the night. I cant fucking wait for this card!
Ilia looks fantastic... Against all the guys he fought who aren't even top 5
The casuals don’t think. They just go with the hype. Volk will remind them.
Vamos georgianos ❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting how they left ian garry out of this
They always do 3 fights. Sometimes 2. Its based on the last 3 fights
It was a last minute addition to the card technically speaking which was done a month ago. Meant for 299. Plus they film countdown a month or 2 earlier beforehand
@@NixDarkside they did not cejudo fights higher on the card then gary.
🎉VAMOOOS 🇪🇸ILIA TOPURIA💪🏻CAMPEON🇪🇸

Topuria appears to be living it up
Lotta people doubting Volk. Lol they have to be new here...
Paulo Costa , y'all already trolling me.
Top stuff UFC Countdown !!
Alicante is on the map🇪🇦
This was a very well made countdown. Ilia is charismatic and great on the screen.
11:43 that strike by Topuria was so freaking fast
5:47 is the best wild part to throw in 😂. Took his fucking head off
He called Volk short while looking 1-2 inches taller with shoes on
Aussie, AUSSIE, AUSSIE!!! VOLK your a Champ ALWAYS in EVERY UFC fans eyes!! A literal LEGEND!!!!!!!
gotta love ilia man so good of a person and a Great fighter who Will become UFC NEW champ
