I used to think this dude is kinda overhyped before the Ryan Hall fight, I didn't know him and only heard about him from hardcore MMA fans talking about how he's a total monster that's gonna destroy Ryan Hall and I was like "right, sure" and here were are, those people definitely knew what they were talking about when it comes to recognizing talent
Preach brothers.. after ryan hall mitchell emmett jai.. idk man when people are talking about volk humbling him it'sgonna be a rude awakening... can't wait
Man that and when he destroyed Bryce Mitchell too, people don't remember Mitchell absolutely ragdolling Barboza before that fight. He knocked him out and choked him out, and people were making comparisons between Mitchell and Khabib back then. You can't count out Topuria even if it's against Volk. He's always dangerous and skilled everywhere
I’ve literally watched this man make his debut against this fighter from Morocco who was on a 5 fight win streak during covid and this dude dominated him nothing crazy but every single fight he’s added something .
@@wassimrsfyou know illia was sick from covid coming down that fight and also it was on short notice, a full trained illia will destroy your Boy volcanosky

@@stevennevesmmasame but honestly I think Topuria is being slept in heavily and I mean HEAVILY. Most people choosing him to win are only picking him because volk got KOd in October in a weight class above coming off short notice. But that shouldn’t be the case imo, Topuria’s skill set is great. Good on the feet, good on the ground, technique, power. I think this fight will show every aspect of mma but I got Topuria winning and I agree either way it’s not going all 25.

@@oriadawalter7593 Dude Volk is one of the most consistent athletes and fighters in the company.

@carlmcgrath484 , Quality>quantity. Volk literally had to fight Mendes first then fought Aldo later on Brazil to get his first title shot not even won the title with those fights, current UFC is much more difficult than Aldo's, GSP's and Jones's era. At that time they could become champ between 23-28 years old, current ufc is much more stacked its nearly impossible to be champ younger than 30 years old, so that means its nearly impossible to have record 10 title defense numbers like Aldo's or GSP's, since there isn't enough time between 30-35.
Other than Volk > Aldo , another example on Quality>quantity is Khabib > Aldo too. Khabib had to beat 4 top 10 ranked Lightweights to get his first title shot: no.10 Healy, no.6 Johnson, No.4 Barboza, no.5 RDA. While Aldo got his title shot in his first UFC fight, and GSP got his first title shot after only 2 ufc fights and he lost that fight too, it was much easier at that time in Aldo's or GSP's era.

Been saying since this for awhile… dudes an incredible talent. Go peep his Pre UFC fights. Hes BEEN a monster.

Ilia Topuria, the rising MMA star hailing from Georgia but representing Spain, embodies the best of both worlds inside the octagon. His dynamic fighting style, coupled with his relentless work ethic, showcases the fusion of Georgian resilience and Spanish flair. Topuria's impressive performances not only elevate him as a top contender but also serve as a testament to the rich diversity and talent within the MMA community, transcending borders and inspiring fans worldwide.
This is like a movie. Topuria is the antagonist that seems better and grittier than the protagonist, but we'll see what Volk is truly made of. As much as I want Volk to win, it's highly unlikely that he would. May the best man win.
Nothing close to it. Ilia runs his mouth for the sake of it. Connor actually impressed and worked hard for every bit of it. Volk by any way he wants you bum
Ilia is champ material no doubt, but woulda liked him to fight another top contender before getting his shot. Not that he isn't ready but the path seemed too quick.
Volk has fought the best. Holloway 3x, Ortega, Aldo, Mendez, Islam. Topuria only has one top 5 win against a 40 year old. Volk will show him the levels
Topuria Is A Absolute Savage He’s really SLEEPING Guys With real power Volk be winning with heart & Skill This will be a war of 2 Self determined Warriors!

I want people to give a reason why ilia is actually going to win other than saying he will KO volk. Like, okay little man you keep thinking that 💀
Problem is, we don't know which version of Volk will turn up. If the Volk that broke Ortega and Max turns up, Illia is losing......

but Ilia has the will, youth, zeal and dreams.
