#UFC #UFCJacksonville
I love it when fighters target both the body and head in the same combination. Ilia’s one of the best at it
Agreed. That left hook to the body is a thing of beauty.
@@flochfitnesshe shovels it almost like an upper cut too, devastating power in both hands, the aggression. All the right qualities. This is the raw version, this dude at 34 is going to be something else.
Its called level changes.
Iron Tyson style ❤
Really difficult to defend. He manages a great range regarding the level of his shots. Finds with the same ease the liver, the chest or the head.
Ilia has some of the cleanest boxing I’ve ever seen in the ufc
His & Dustin's are my favorites. Everything is so crisp & tight
@@Ancient_TribesmanDustin will dust your ass. His boxing is so crisp. He has power too like ilia. Every shot ilia throws is to put you out. He moves his whole body as a single unit. He's also just strong too, his submission of Bryce pretty much proved that he is very strong.
@@S475-pb2dpits just pure control, they know exactly what they want to do and just like chess, are multiple steps ahead in every scenario. so much variety to the point where they can do whatever they need to to win
Both very good I love yans aswell and Jack dellas aswell
@@S475-pb2dp yeah he’s gunna be very hard to beat, strong everywhere and has a great chin
This guy is going all the way to the top.... 100%
Agreed 👍
*Ilia is future of this sport..* he will be one of the greatest ever lived.. most complete and charismatic fighter ever.. He's just next level, another level.. East European soul must rise again!
@@beaualoevvYair ain't doing shit to Ilia
@@beaualoevv Yair will run away as far from Ilia as he ran from Zabit. Everyone knows he is Colby of featherweights.
@@bessoia7064Yair fought Max, Emmett and Ortega. That’s 3 guys in the top 5. Stop smoking. He did duck Zabit though for sure
I've known that he's a monster for a while, but the way he completely DISMANTLED Bryce everywhere was scary
It takes two to tango
And Bryce is a very talented fighter too, he would've been champ in another era without Ilia or Volk. Ilia is just amazing, very good wrestling
@@heresthethingyouguys dumbest comment ive ever read, please never speak about mma again.
@@gigachad6885 🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🫵🫵🫵😂🤣😂🫵😂😂😂🤣🤣🫵😂😂🫵🤣 no.
@@gigachad6885if Bryce would be a champ in a different era, that era would have to consist of a flat earth…. He’s good but no era he’s top 5 material.
his power & accuracy is insane
@@beaualoevv that´s the jon jones spirit
@@supersaiyan7149 THE JON JONES SPIRIT LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@beaualoevv😂😂😂
"spanish guy" my friend...he's crazy and i hope he'll be the BEST in the Word!
Against randoms😂😂😂
Remember why Ryan Hall was acting as if everyone was ducking him and was afraid of his ground game? Topuria accepted the fight and clowned him so bad😭😭
You’re yapping as if he didn’t sweat trying.
Dude is an absolute monster
It takes two to tango
@@heresthethingyouguys Dawg that is the most non-sequitur shit anyone’s ever replied to me with
Matador topuria 💣🔥
@@cluke7278im crying 😂😂😂
You can feel the Ufc sees him as the next face of brand. And Im honestly here for it. Great grappler, great boxer, good English, and can attract views from 2 countries Spain/Georgia
Faaaacts
Absolut monster🇪🇸🇬🇪🔥
Ye good points actually..he's a beast
Just a little mongrul
His spoken language shouldn't have anything to do with his fighting ability, if you consider this you're racist. Through and though.
I'm never the guy to laugh at someone gettin knocked out but Ryan Hall 🤣
He deserve it his game s..xD
satisfying KO
why?
i dont understand the hate. dudes funny as fuck and has nasty as fuck submissions. his iminari roll to heel hook on bj penn is legendary. had him tapping out before he even sunk it in properly
This guy is as complete of a mixed martial artist as it gets.
It takes two to tango
Iv read that he Hasn’t thrown a kick in his entire ufc career.
@@lindamooney5002 He can go to the distance, he can Ko guys, he can wrestle, he can choke guys out with his BJJ. That is what I mean by complete MMA fighter
@@AJ-lc8xt agreed 100% But hard to say a “complete” mixed martial artist when he doesn’t kick.
If you think kick is what makes a complete MMA fighter, you don't know MMA
Ilia Topuria is currently one of the best fighters in the UFC! He's the real deal!
No shit Einstein 👴🏻
illia will be the ufc champion
lol who has he beat. face palm jesus christ
@@aphaseelec stop watching mma
His power and combos are ridiculous! An absolute HAMMER!!
Future Champion 💪🏆
Sure once volk slows down in a couple years
@@mattdrifts 😏
@@mattdriftscome again?😂😂
You right
This guy would absolutely kick Pimblett's dome thru the octagon.
That body shot against Jackson against the Apex was insane. How do you not crumble instantly.
Props to Jackson for standing upright after that liver shot . Fuck me !! 🤢
next champion！！🇬🇪🇪🇸
How Jai Herbert's Head bounced to the Cage and then to the Mat, was brutal, except for that weightclass, Ilia has that natural Knockout Power that you can't train, you have it or not... Vicious man
You can train ko power. Some people do have it more naturally just like running, jumping, strength, etc. but you can train pretty much any athletic ability to be better
Favorite fighter now, feel like he is destinate to become champ
ილია ძმაო ჯიგარი ხარ. შემდეგ ბრძოლას გაუმარჯოს
That left hook he landed to the body on Damon Jackson was absolutely brutal!
¡TOPURIA ES PURA MAGIA! ¡VAMOS MATADOR! 🇪🇦🇬🇪🤜💥
Una pena ese apodo de matador para un peleador tan grande.
@@Dadrios LE VA PERFECTO EL APODO DE MATADOR,POR QUE MATA LAS NEURONAS DE SUS RIVALES🇪🇦🇬🇪🤜💥
@@Dadriosa mi me parece un grandísimo apodo,y no ,no soy taurino
@@Dadrios lo que es una pena es que Nazi, Falangistas y Fascistas Españoles sean seguidores suyo. Es lo que toca en España supongo.
@@marcopelaezfernandez4573cómo controlas que ese tipo de gente le guste lo mismo que a ti? No se puede, bastante random el comentario😂
That left body right up top combo is so good. Damn.
Those body shots are a thing of beauty. This man is definitely a problem & if he can keep it going I see him competing for the belt very soon.
It takes two to tango
👏🏾
He is gonna beat Volkanovski.
*Ilia is future of this sport..* he will be one of the greatest ever lived.. most complete and charismatic fighter ever.. He's just next level, another level.. *East European soul* must rise again..!
He will retire undefaeted and he will be one of the goat at the end of the career
@@beaualoevvbruh u dont know what r u talkign about. If max holloway could use wrestling to beat yair and his wrestling was enough then ilia just ragdolls him dont forget ilia is wrestler/grappler first
„One of the greatest ever“ „most complete and charismatic fighter ever“ 😂 sure buddy
@@beaualoevv What is Yair will win the title and Topuria will go against him? :D :D
@@rozierg8184 bro stop he fought nobodys until now really soon and after todays and 4-5 more opponents we will be able to soon its a little soon to say that lmao
He’s gonna be a champ. No doubt
only if volk goes lightweight or retires .. sadly, bcs i like Ilia very much too, but he is still very young, so he will be champ in the futuer for 100% !! But i think Volk is too strong for every Featherweight atm, i think he is the strongest Featherweight ever
@@vVyking volks my favourite fighter ever and maybe the most well rounded ive seen with gsp and dj, ilia is class but max would be very tough for him
If Ilia waits it out for 2 more years Volk will be older/ retired by then & Ilia will be more experienced and the title is his for the taking
@@billywonka4160 he won’t want to wait tho and volk definitely beats him right now
@@jordymanunited I agree, Volk is in his own lane right now
Ilia Topuria is the man! Amazing athlete, he’s got the striking, grappling, submission, wrestling, all perfectly nailed down. A complete fighter, the next big UFC superstar 👏👏👏👏🇪🇸🐂
Herbert fell like he was hit by Francis. His soul left his body.
It takes two to tango
his ability to generate power after his 2 is so great. makes any hook or body hook so devastating. you can see him turning the hips and grounding himself
This guy is the real deal!
He has some insane finishes, he's the real deal!
I like how topuria shows mercy on herbert no need to deliver anymore cte when he clobber someone with a one hitter quitter
One word: Crisp 🔥🔥
It's insane how much and how quick his boxing has improved.
This is gnarly he’s just sleeping em left and right. That left to the kidney is so accurate. He sets up his finishes masterfully. Keep up the good work🙂👍
Bispings commentary on point again during the Jai Herbert fight, saying how well he was doing and how much he likes the side to side movement then he is out cold before he finishes his sentence.
Bisping can’t even see what’s happening with his half vision idk why he’s a commentator 😂
This dude had some serious power and IQ
this guy is no hype he is real legit...super talented
The new featherweight champion for a long time ,this guy can do it all and is tuff too ,big respect too him, just be a lil less cringe in the press conferences, hopefully he doesn't have too try act like McGregor now .
Go ilia topuria 🇬🇪🇪🇸🖤☠️
Him and Emmett could be an absolute banger
Lots of technical skill but also plenty of power, those were some devastating out cold knockouts
my favorite fighter at the moment 👏🏽👏🏽
Vamos Illia 🇪🇦🇪🇦👏👏 Georgia y España a por todassss
Future champion
TOPURIA HAS DYNAMITE IN BOTH HANDS
A boxer kicking ass in ufc 🤌🏻🤌🏻
He's not actually a boxer he started as submission artist and he just recently developed his boxing skills
Topuria's striking is more crisp than my fried chicken😭
Who’s here because he’s fighting Volk?
The rise of a new champion and character he is special
Next FW champ. Topuria' punches hit with ill will.
This guy is a BEAST, we wanna see it much more!!
Ilia Topurianes una fuerza imparable.
People always talking about who has the best boxing in the UFC and this man has to be mentioned as one of the best now
I love that left to the body followed by the overhand right to the temple. Dudes a beast for sure.
This dude is the truth.
Otro nivel🇪🇦
🇬🇪🇬🇪
Congrats to Topuria on your win. You are scary good and I’m going to love watching your ascend into superstardom 🎉
Future Champ for sure 💯
Congratulations Champion!
I think He punch so damn hard
Ilia Topuria is next. Get your head right, Volkanovski.
Ilia es un tipo de peleador muy atractivo de ver para el espectador,el Sábado habrá una nueva finalización 🇪🇸🇬🇪😈
His determination is top notch.. hats off!
This guy hits like a fuckin truck. That KO vs Herbert was vicious.
Wish he could go to 155 just to break paddy then carry on at 145
the Herbert fight is still the one that impressed me the most. he had as bad a first round as he could and then put Jai down
Love his body shots
Jai Herbert admiring his work, gets floored.
Va a ser leyenda.
1:02 HALL asking did i win ?? and referee :YES😂😂 HILARIOUS
Brutal Ilia!!!!!
Topuria’s fight IQ is next level 💯👑
He has KO POWER 🐐💯
Like si se te encoge el corazón cuando el comentarista grita "ohhh no wordsss!!! Unbelievable Knockaut!!!"
😮 new fav already dammm
Vamos Topuria mete caña el sábado 🙅🙆
how the fuck topuria isnt even flinch with that picture perfect left hook by jai herbert lmao... dude got titanium chin
And Volk doesn't have great KO power. This guy is the key.
Georgian chin
The only thing i miss about the covid fight era is how you only hear the sound of gloves and flesh.
He is so good !
Es una bestia
Madre mia vaya kos jajaja
He's got the heart of a lion but it stings to see him get hurt going in for the kill, i hope he has what it takes to put Emmett 's lights out, Ilia deserves the best
He’s super young. Remember Volkanovski in his first UFC fights, he wasn’t even close to be as good as he is today. Once Ilia grows up he will polish his game and I can see him being even better than Volk. He has way better wrestling and grappling than Volk and much more power, and his striking is getting better and better.
Heart of a lion you said ;)
წარმატებები, ილია 🔥 🇬🇪
Left uppercut to the body, right hook to the chin. Crisp
Would love to see Topuria vs Yair or Volk !
RIP Volk
beast
Outstanding athletes❤❤❤❤
This is the biggest threat for Volk. This is the fight I want to see.
토푸리아가 볼카노프스키 이길거 같음
Dude is a legend
Vamos ilia 🇪🇸🇬🇪 Tu eres una bestia representando a españa 👍
- Knockout power - Undefeated - Credentialed grappler - Star power - Tough as shit Spaniard, who can get kicked straight in the face and still come back to win against an opponent with a significant reach advantage at a different weight class - Completely sucked the hype and spotlight from Paddy at 282 without even fighting him What more can you ask for in a prospect?
Powerful and accurate hands
He is so on point. Laser focus.
This dude could be future champ or top contender bro...
He'll beat Volkanovski. Topuria is lethal & he is the next champ 100%
This man is insane 🇪🇸
increible ilia❤
