#UFC #ufc298
This fight has got potential for fight of the year 100%
100%
can't be fight of the year if volkswagen gets knocked out again in 2 minutes
Every volk fight is potential FOTY contender
Volk vs Chad Mendes vibes 🥊
Performance of the night for round 2 KO from volk
Love to see everyone doubting Volk again; MMA fans will never learn this lesson. The doubters will be silenced once more.
Not necessarily. Volk struggled against makachevs stand up on occasions. Imagine topuria landing the same punches
that's because of the wrestling threat smh@@outhere786
nah volks age is gonna show Record of UFC fighters over 35 years old between 125 & 170 in title fights: 2-32. Those 2 belong to Tyron Woodley. the odds are stacked against him this time
For one islam is lightweight and for 2 look what everyone said about yair would beat and look what happened ,,,,, and still
@@CalumWilliams-ly2nbit’s ok for people to think volk could lose though…it’s not bizarre, ilia is very good
Topuria is a proper villain, that house and the aston martin already
Even his name, he's like a James Bond character
That was for show. Promotion purposes.
What about his woman?!!
He is privileged and rich, a lot of fighters come from poverty
@@RedPill-xv2kr Bro, shut up. Ilia came from the war in Georgia. Privileged and rich, what are you talking about?
Bloody love Alexander Volkanovski man
Slow burn feel to this one -- very good. Alicante looks beautiful.
298,299, and 300 are all bangers. fucking stoked.
Can’t wait for this fight. Whole main card is fire
Facts 💯💯
I am going to be there in person!! I can’t wait!!
The new era of el matador inc 🔥🇬🇪🇪🇸
Vamos ilia pon a españa y georgia en lo alto❤
AND STILL
russia defeated georgia in hours 🇷🇺 👍
@@The_Eagle_Official that Russian boy pull out one time. he didnt Want to figh him
Let's go El matador!!🇬🇪🐂🇪🇦
@@kurt6708 You're the same type that said the same things before he got KO'd brutally🤧
Topuria gives of classy villian vibes: Well dressed, drinking wine, with a fine woman around his arm. He’s youthful, energetic, and hungry. We’ve had Good Guy Volk as a champ, I can see a Bad Guy Topuria with the belt in a week. Would be great for the division
but Topuria is farr from a bad guy tho
Respect the great Alex Volkanovski 💪🏼
Whoever finds the guitar/vocal music in minute 9:00 - 10:00 which plays as a background while Ilia is talking, is a treasure to humanity.

@@danieljimenez2606 you're great pal. Thank you!
@@b0ltus thank you very much!! You're great!!
My heart says ilia but my wallet says volk.
My heart AND wallet saying volk
@@jariahusfalesima8735ok, respect but Illia Topuria wins🥊🔥
Smart decision
Dana’s heart and wallet says Topuria.
Other way around
Let's go Volk! "And still baby let's go!" 🏆
and the new🤗🌹
Go Volk!
And new ....
Holy Moly, the whole film is a masterpiece.
Bro that topuria guy is cold
I've never seen a fighter so calm and relaxed while they call they're shots and actually do everything they said.
They always edit these videos like Volk lost his family in an accident or something and Illia is responsible somehow and Volk is coming for redemption for his lost family
i really want volk to win.....Illia seems to have real confidence and skill , my heart says volk my head says Illia
Don’t doubt volk!😤
Lets fockin go!!! Fight week finally, this will be banger!
It’s wonderful to see that champion fighters can also be champion Fathers.
Seeing Volk break down in the locker room after he was kicked unconscious was rough man. I fucking love that dude and hate to see him in pain and suffer a loss. I hope he wins Saturday, and believe that he will.
That was for sure a post script acting job 😂 you’re kidding right?
I loved it man but that's the beauty of the sport.
Volka the legend ! AND STILL !!!!!!
Topuria is about to get humbled and shown the levels. Volk via UD.
Topuria by KO
What did I say
Who humbled whom
José Aldo, Conor Mcgregor, Max Holloway, Alexander Volkanovski, and now it’s Ilia Topuria turn to rule the featherweight division.
If only they all showed up at the same time we would get phenomenal fights in their prime.
And after that its MOVSAR EVLOEV TIME!!
Ilia about to become irrelevant 😂
Lmao who has he fought? He couldn't finish Josh Emmett, and Volk is 10X the fighter Emmett is.
@@NinjaDildoShowVolk hasn't finished half the fighters hes faced, Illia finishes 80% of his fights. And the ones like Emmett who was ranked 5th, he did it with a 42-50 scorecard and Emmetts face looking like silly puddy. He was literally was asking his corner in the third round what round it was. Tell me in all those decisions Volk won in his career has he had a scorecard like that?
Vamos Ilia España y Georgia esta contigo!
Y Estados Unidos y Mexico! Vamos!
@@eddieasgrandes!!
Vamos ilia, españa esta contigo🇪🇸🇪🇸
Topuria is the best❤
Alex about to remind everyone exactly why he's the GOAT of the division.
Hes getting cooked ill be back here after the fight
@@Winnermcdo you won't bro. You'll hop off the Topuria bandwagon and disappear. Seen fans like you come and go for 15 years. You ride a rising star and soon as he loses 1 fight you find someone else to leech off of. Topuria is a great fighter, but I don't think he has the experience to hang with Volk. We will see.
@@Gh0st_0723 he’s not losing but if he does I’m still on the train don’t worry but old man volk will be koed brutally
@@Winnermcdo btw your last comment on this channel is " Jon is getting smoked, remember this" from 11 months ago. Before he fought Gane... Lol later kid
@@Gh0st_0723 lol dude lost all credibility then and there. I think I like ilia 60% to volks 40. But to be that confident about it is a lil weird. Both seem pretty equal to me and similar
Volk gonna prove why his the 145 pound 🐐
Say no more ..2nd round ko
Let’s go ilia! 🇪🇸
🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

@@niconicoo5661nico, supongo que estos videos que presentan a ilia como español ante el mundo te encantan ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
@@iago7022 i dont understand spanish bro. Anyway ilia is georgian 😁
@@niconicoo5661He chooses to consider himself Spanish too. If you have a problem with this, take it up with him.
vamos ilia carajo
Haven't been this revved up for a card in many sleeps...just wow! Definitely a Bobby Knuckles fan but do believe that P.C. can win this as well. There's some value in emptying out $80 for this gem
This fight is going to be 🔥
Alicante, what a lovely city! And Ilia with this Spanish flair of a true bullfighter "matador".
These pre-fight promos….They make me feel dizzy with anticipation they are that well executed.
Such a banger I loved Sean Vs Ddp I’m super pumped for this one and 299 as well we got some bangers coming up
Cejudo is gonna be Salty when he Finds out he's not selected for the UFC Hall of Fame 🤷🏼♂️
Only salty ones r gonna be his haters. He's a shoe in
“From the moment I stepped in there. An energy took over me. It was my destiny.” - Topuria, on stepping into a MMA gym for the first time.
Those are great drone shots of the city of Alicante, well done UFC
Wow this fight has me on edge 🔥🔥👊👊💪💪💯💯 So Hype, Excited and very nervous, I simply can not wait for this WAR!!!!!
I like both guys, and I think Ilia will be champion someday, However I am hoping Volk gets a couple more defenses. He's been one of the best champions we've had of recent time, both inside and out of the octagon. A true testament to what a champion should be. Respectful, dedicated, and just all around a good human being. Here's to you Volk, hoping you get another defense.
Ilia Topuria is the new UFC champion.
Ilia intro is so cool and scary 😨
Топурия,Двалишвили, Уитакер.💪
This will be fight of the night. Topuria will be victorious. It’s his time now.
Between Alex and Ilia i would rather prefer to see a 5 round war for the ages! Than a quick first round finish.
I doubt is gonna a fast fight. Is gonna be minimum 3 rounds
Then u are in luck. Volk's getting kod in 3
On 17 VOLK ❤
volkswagen got fraud checked by islam. topuria the russian will ko him 🇷🇺
VAMOS ILIA!!🇪🇦🔥
BEST OF LUCK,BOTH MY HERO MAN
Super excited for this one
Goosebumps 😆
I can’t wait for next Weekend… heading to Anaheim on Thursday!
Vamos Ilia el cinturón se viene para casa 🇬🇪🇪🇸
Cannot wait until this fight happens
Interesting Card not gonna lie😬🔥🔥
AND NEEEEEW! VAMOS ILIA A DEMOSTRAR LA BESTIA QUE ERES
muchas ganas de ver esta pelea!!!!
topuira will learn what max lvl feels like
Say no more
Call me crazy but i see volk worrying too much right now about this family and he said that he “needs” to win. I think he is puting too much pressure on himself, while ilia is just confident and very calm. I think ilia not only gonna win, but he is gonna perform like he never did before
C'mon Topuria 'El Matador' bring that belt to Spain🇪🇦 we're gonna wait you💪
THE BEST FIGHT THE BEST. UFC baby let's go
This fight is like Terminator 2 Judgement Day, T-800 (Volk) vs. T-1000 (Topuria). Can the older version find a way to beat the shiny new version? Has all the ingredients to be fight of the ages or POW!! someone gets caught and sparked early.
Chegou a hora do toupuria ser campeão. O toupuria vai vencer o volkanoski e vai campeão.
Topuria definitely has that champion skillset and mentality. He surely will give Volk a good challenge. 😲
Topuria will force his version of the story on Volkanovski
🤡
If Volkanovski has a clean win or wins at all, I will never doubt him again.
I hate seeing Volk make excuses smh he should have never rushed into that rematch
'No excuses' people need to wake up and accept that legitimate excuses are a real thing.
He is talking to his team and took 100% responsibility on this loss.
Let's go Ilia USA supports you!
Ilia is unbelievable. Talented, strong, good grappling, good striking, marketable, attractive, tough. Checks every box. Really looking forward to his win this weekend.
Costa❤ m very interested
Aaaaaaaaaand neeeeeeeeew ERA will start. Volk is a goat. He is a legend, and I'll always respect him. His style is perfect. BUT, Iliad style is more perfect. and I am fucking sure that he will have the biggest legacy in this sport.
How is Ilia's style 'more perfect'?
@@madgavin7568why ask when it was so Unintelligently written to start with?
Let’s gooo Volk & illi ! They both them boyz 🥊
Good to see owned up, I think you'll win.
Desde 2020 esperando este momento, hemos disfrutado del camino ahora toca disfrutar de la meta!
Feels like Illia went into the hyperbolic time chamber and come out a boxing technician because he was mainly a grappler
I really hope Volk doesn’t try and prove anything in this fight. I hope he uses his wrestling early and ragdolls this guy. I have a feeling he’s going to try and stand up and box him to redeem his loss but that’s the worst thing he can do. I think his standup is better but getting clipped is still his biggest chance of loosing.
Volkanovski Put so many good guys out
Lajos Klein vs Ilja Topuria! Goooo! Lajos 👌💪💯
It's going to be a great fight. I've been a fan of volk, I think he's a warrior but this guy Illia, comes from a different mold. His technique is sound, it's hard to find any flaws and he's quite determined. I don't see him being denied. He's hungry and executes his brutal nonstop style until he finishes his opponent. He takes no prisoners. In this fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog that determines the winner.
Gooooooo ILIA!!!! Alicante and Spain is excited about you!!!
Ilia estamos contigo, eres nuestro campeón.
Vamos Ilia! Toda España, Georgia e hispanoamerica contigo!
*Let GOOOO champp!!!*
Topuria new champion 💪💪💪🏆🏆 let's go
Although I am a fan of Topuria but this is a must win match for Volk . Let's go Volk
Ti poria , dear bro ... Could be ur first' defeat. Just pray b4 a fight,not boost. Let's go give your best and i would love to see again my hero volkonovsky s best tooooo
here we are
Cejudo getting fed to Merab
Long time dominant champion vs undefeated next generation fighter. Dominick vs Cody, Pitbull vs Aj Mcee. When Aj beat Pitbull it gave me Jon Jones vs Shogun Rua vibes. Long time champs usually have their toughest challenge when they face next generation fighters. If Volk can get past this he is something else. 🔥🔥🔥
Ilia Topuria still improving, you are going to be surprised, my guys Saludos desde España
excited excited!!
RIP Volk😢
I wanted to buy tickets for this event, but too expensive for bad seats
And still 💯💯💯
Topuria is going to knock Volk spark out and can’t wait to see Volk fans cry
yet he couldnt even ko josh emmet? hmm
Yeh, this is some insecurity at work something shocking bro. Seek a therapist
Blasphemy
All the champs in every weight class have had their time and belts taken from them. Hate to say I think Volkanovski is approaching that window
Agree to the premise, but not sure what’s lead to that conclusion. Haven’t seen anything at FW with a full training camp yet to make it seem like Volk is done
@@mr5timewcwchampmma fans are not the most intelligent people around. They can’t think complex thoughts. Once a fighter loses, they think he’s done.
@@mrspiff6955 I don’t think he’s done but I think it is that time for a new contender to rival and possibly take the belt. Do you not think so)
@@mr5timewcwchamp told you
viva España!!!! vamos ILIA! EL MATADOR
MATADOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET´S GO!
