Paulo going to wake up Volk is funny asf
🤣
Can you explain me what's so funny in that
@@gojosensei6501If you don't find it funny just ignore it. No need to be a killjoy
@@rejachemnomaybe he genuinely wanted to know why it's funny so that he could laugh too.
Say what you want about Paulo pulling out of fights but the dude is funny and likable, it’s really hard to hate the dude
If you think Volk is gonna win button.
Volk by decision
Topuria
Let’s go Volk 🇦🇺
No doubt
@@SSFYHHHI don’t a decision I want a clean ko from Volk
Costa waking up volk was good comedy
“I’m just fighting for my dreams”. Can’t argue with that..
You can fight for your dreams without being disrespectful.
@@uche3017 you’re absolutely right
@@uche3017 yea i agree. But i cant blame the man for trying to get more money
Building up the fight … tf
Ilya doesn’t just want to become a champion like everyone else. he knows who he really is - Matador believes that he is the evolution of MMA, the next generation, an improved version of the Volk, Aldo, etc. he is only 27 years old. so his ambitions should be respected. I think the matador will win! 😊 )))))
Volk had the best line: "Don't interrupt, Abuelo is talking"
I thought that meant grandma. From watching Dora the explorer with my nephew 20 years ago.
@@oldironsides4107 abuela is grandmother I think 🤷🏻♂️
you are correct @@nglencoem
Abuelo is grandfather
thats nothing compared to him falling asleep and also getting out of that chair like an elderly while topuria was in over his head lolol
Volk making this one of the funniest pressers ever 😂
5:52 nothing funnier than those boos right away 😭😭🤣
Him playing off the old man schtick was fucking genius. And he even used Spanish too which I was hoping he would lol
Casual
whos that witch on your PFP
🎯💯
New mythical fighter unlocked merab “Mexican pride” Dvalishvili
Also "old man Volk", "skinny Costa" and "crying Garry". This really was a great presser.
But it made no sense, Henry is from USA
@@BrushworkNL he’s a Mexican American that’s known to help Brazilians instead of Mexicans lol
@@richardcantu8555 he was born in USA buddy that means he’s an American citizen. When he won gold at Olympic they didn’t say representing Mexico and USA eh? Who’s flag did he fly?
@@richardcantu8555 not to mention his daughter is named America and he also reps america more than mexico. being a person of color myself i understand both positions but yeah my latino friends would have some choice words for his over repping of the US lol
That was one of the greatest presscons. Old man Volk, Paulo waking him up, Topuria with the belt stealer, Merab with Mexico flag, Garry on verge of tears as getting booed, and so much more! 😂
Exactly 😂😂
Best presser I think Ive seen in a very long time
And Ilia Topuria being new Conor Mcgregor
Gary can say he's not bothered by it all he wants but inside it's killing him no 1 cheering for him
"And so much more!".. are you a bot
when llia said "i'm just fighting for my dreams" I had goosebumps
Volk and Costa absolutely killed it🤣🤣
Dude that was so funny 😂😂 a part of me almost wonders if they planned that 😂😂 either way Paolo is one of the funniest dudes on the roster
Ilia 's last lines were pure class. "I am fighting for my dreams"
Paulo's respect for the elderly is wholesome
You gotta love Ian’s wife man, real team player that one. Always there for the boys.
whose boys exactly? i hear she be going rounds with the entire block.
🤣
👀👀
She sure got me through some tough times
@@Frenchieeeee everyone's boys apparently
Merab just made me root for him as a Mexican 😂
“ I respect you as a person, as a professional, I am just fighting for my dreams” What a quote by Illia 🔥
yea that was wholesome!i like illia very,and volk also!i want that volks wins cause of his mental state men,he was down against makachev,imagine after he loses to ilia!and ilia will be champ in the futre,he is sick but now volk has to win,for himself for his legacy,and mental!a loss can change him!
@@TheDonUp What is he faking? He always seems to say what he thinks
@@user-ki4xw2rb8q His nickname is the Matador. He's got to put a few pins in the bull before defeating it (supposedly).
Yeah can't knock it aye I'm a Aussie and of course I'm backing my countrymen but I respect ilia
"i respect you as a person as a professional , i just fighting for my dreams " absolute class from Topuria.
Lol what he can say what he wants but he just disrespected volk the entire time and he classlessly grabbed his belt pretending hes conor mcgregor. He better finish volk or hes just going to look completely stupid for a long time.
Conor would NEVER, fake AF
@@BMoses16 it is what it is mate. But you cant denied, at the end of the day that was class.
@@cxc2632 at the end of acting with no class, he acted with class? MMA fans try too hard
@@cxc2632one sentence makes it classy? After a whole entire 30 plus minutes showing no respect and no class, simply saying “I respect you” makes it classy? Lol.
6:16 will forever be iconic. Old man Volk is a legend
Old man Logan from x men common volk
07:52 makes him a bit more likeable. He‘s doin a great job promoting the fight, and IF he wins he‘ll polarize like crazy and it‘d be a great kickstart for his further career. He seems to be a bit full of himself, but maybe its just a great role. High risk, high reward. Still rooting for old man volk, aussie aussie aussie!!!
Toporia saying he is just fighting for his dreams actually won me over again. This main event is going to be a blast win or lose for the champ or toporia.
This alternate costume DLC for Volk is wild.
hahaha
damn i didnt think it could get any cooler. but now im realizing the ufc game can put golden girls volk in the game!!!!
Merab is hilarious man. Love this guy.
the funniest part is mexicans dont like cejudo so they love this
So cool what Ilia said to him at the stand-off. They respect each other, may the best man win!
I loved that respect from Topuria, after all the talk.
Wow really didn't think I could love Volk any more, one of the greats in many ways.
This presser reminds me of cowboy vs Hernandez and I hope the fight goes the same way.
Champion doesn’t begin to explain what volk is
same. i was on the bus upset and saw him walk out and my problems vanished into laughter lol
6:16 Paulo may be one of the funniest fighters alive
We need Strickland and costa to fight so bad, the buildup would be so funny
@@rippindrummer666 we need Costa and Strickland to do a season of TUF
@@rippindrummer666 If Costa wins this that fight could actually happen
Volk waking up Paulo is pure comedy gold! 😂
?
Dyslexic much??
Meth is bad for your mind kids
bruh i just got off jynxi video and you were top comment... weird
other way around, but yeah lol
Ian Garry looked like he was going to cry LOOOL
He's disappointed that the fans don't like him. He thought he was the next Conor McGregor who everyone finds entertaining
He was so close to tears man. Hopefully he grows as a person over the next few years.
"I'm just fighting for my dreams." 👏
I really hated Ilia’s persona up until now, but hearing what he said in that face off was very respectable. Solid guy and amazing fighter. REALLY want to see Volk win, but Ilia deserves any success he gets too.
You can't have your entire opinion of someone change just from some fake lines said to soften his opponent up. It's all games.
@@Dr_Lucozade It was also his displays of respect throughout the rest of the embedded series. Regarding what you said, you also can’t make your entire opinion up of someone from what they say in press conferences, which is all I had to work on prior to this.
I’m just fighting for my dreams…. That touched me. I like ilia when he doesn’t try to be a badass and is just himself!
He’s trying to defuse the situation because he knows Volk is now extra motivated. Kind of soft tbh
No, he is just nice guy, they both know it was just for the entertainment. @@danielbetancur1670
@@danielbetancur1670bruh yall read too much into it. He’s talking trash to hype the fight but has respect at the end of the day
Dude doesn’t need all those weird antics. He’s a great fighter, no need to become a villain just to sell.
@@danielbetancur1670 this is such a casual view point. you really think he went through a fight camp and cut weight but until illia did some stunt he was not fully motivated. Volk, like most fighters, is already extra motivated by the need to provide for his family and maybe to represent his country/club. Everything else is just noise to him
I Love how Volk is a killer but he’s been coming with the comedy and cooking videos. The guy is a G
merab is a character I hope he wins and then fights O Malley next
Why so you can see Merab shoot on O’Malley the whole time and see a boring fight?
@@MrRpres0088O'Malley has the most boring personality in the ufc
@@goodxd701the most boring ? Uh yeah okay he’s not the most entertaining but he’s not BORING lol that’s just my opinion tho
@@MrRpres0088you sound scared that merab will make sean look like a one trick pony
@@nocaparoni4502 Merab is literally a one trick pony spamming takedowns lol
The real Ilia showed himself at 7:50. The rest is for show
I Love the respect at the end. Both warriors
Becoming a big Merab fan lol
Respect to illia for telling Volk it isn’t personal and that he respects him.
💯💯
I bet his coaches told him to say that after coming off like a McGregor wannabe during the Press Conference 😉
Yeah all the other antics are just for show. He's actually a really respectful guy
@@jptothetree Just for show 🤣 Illia was clearly emotional & disrespectful with his comments during the Presser. If you believe it was all just for show then i've got some Ice to sell you in Antartica 😂
Pretty harmless UFC buildup, but people love to be humorless haters.
They cut out the part where Volk told Ilia "Abuelo is talking"😂
Merab could definitely play a dwarf in the lord of the rings 😂
Hobbit Whittaker, Renato the Red, and the great dwarf dvolishvily. But no one makes a better dwarf that volk. Now we just need the return of the king DeSean, fighing the all seeing eye with his friend, Marvin the orc vetory.
bro's wholesome thou
Cejudo sounds congested, plus drinking tea, hopefully he is not sick going into the fight
Came here to see if anyone else noticed that... definitely sounds like he's got a cold or something
Bisping just texting while Cejudo talking lol 😂
@@georgeeast9271or taking notes
Clearing his throat before talking with Bisbing, JA, and Megan.
yeah he sounds so sick.... he won't pull out either.
7:06 Merab thanking Eric his new coach
I love Embedded. So glad UFC started these VLOGs up!
I like how they edited the part out. Where Ian Gary was almost crying.
He got choked up bad at the presser 😂 he gulped so hard
He really was too, reminded me of me when I was 6 and I almost cried during show and tell because I had stage fright
His voice was cracking but he didn't cry he showed up for the press conference and answered questions. U got to respect that.
Really???
@@Gratefulfellowthey'd be shaking in their boots if they were up there
respect to Ilia, that was class at the end
“It’s only business “😂😂😂
@@SammyPeterson-zi7inthe difference is ilia said it outside the octagon
Gary really sounded like he was gonna start crying
Cejudo sounds sick
facts
He’s cutting weight
Was looking for this comment
Hope not he has a lot riding on this fight, but thats what sucks about fighting once every 2-3 years.... everything has to be perfect.
Knowing the result those last words ilia told volk hit way harder now 🔥
"YoU gUys tALkiNg aBoUt mE" 😢
“I’m just fighting for my dreams” I’m rooting for Volk but huge respect to Illia
“It’s only business “😂😂😂
Really sounds like cejudo havin a cold 2.50
I picked up on that too.
Maybe so 'cuz that might've been the 1st time I've ever heard Cejudo sound non-cringey (and actually quite level-headed) with the cameras on him🤔
7:53 Pure Respect. We are going to see a legendary fight
Good promotion to this fight from both athletes. Win or lose on either side, this is good to see. Respect.
Volk handled him taking the belt like a real one! That was a OG move fr
“an”
an
It was an OG move for Volk to ram that right hook and separate from consciousness
Uncle Volk...best thing since Uncle Drew!
Love the respect between Volk and Topuria when the cameras aren’t looking. Neither are taking each other lightly
“I respect you as a person and as a professional, I’m Just fighting for my dreams”. -Tuporia
Topiria
“It’s just business “😂😂😂😂😂
Great quote honestly
Merab bringing out the Mexican flag is to good hahaha
🇲🇽 🇬🇪
Merab LETS GO!! 💯💯
Ilia really had a moment of " It's only business" at the end there
Was looking for this comment. Conor has got all these fighters thinking they need to talk trash to sell a fight. Don't trash someone on stage and then lick ass. It's disingenuous
@@theworldsmostand unhygienic
It sells though. Chael, connor, even colby became danas fav fighter and trumps best friend. Hes entertaining us. He loves volk, can see it in the embedded. Both warriors with heart.
@Danny1680danny yeaaa it was just weird he was trying so hard to be angry but it just seemed cringey. And then at the end he's like I respect you 😂😂
This is the best card we've had in a long time. Every fight is a banger.
Awesome fight card and the face offs were classic! Can't wait, great job UFC!
Ila has an insane amount of confidence and that’s dangerous but there’s a king at the top of this mountain go Volkanovski !!!!!!
Let's go MERAB 🇲🇽
The most entertaining presser in a while! Wish it was longer. Go Volk!
Merab got to Henry when we pulled out the Mexican flag. Henry knows he’s wrong for representing Brazil more then Mexico
Give Henry a break, he was an American Olympian, all American immigrants have a story, there might be a reason Henry is not attached to Mexico anymore we dont know about.
This is the equivalent of Doc Holliday spinning the tin cup at Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
Costa is in shape...He's going to catch Whittaker coming in.
Hate him or not toporia is doing good job at making this fight build up great , but shows the true respect to Volk at face offs.
That was great having sub-titles, it was hard to hear on original broadcast... thanks ufc
Cejudo looks sick, hope hes healthy when he fights
I agree.
Great to see Aljo backing Merab
Fighters age getting better at this stuff. Good to see it.
Combat sports are beautiful when respected!
I believe in my boy volk
Aljo talking about henry's cringe like aljo isn't one of the cringiest fighters on the roster lmao
Maybe in the Top 10 yeah but there many others that beats him in that area
The funny thing is that Henry is deliberately cringe, he wants peoples skin to crawl, where as Aljo actually thinks he's funny AF when he's not 😂😂😂
Don't talk shit on Aljo or he's coming on your ass
@@eliminator173 That line gotta be in the hof for cringe
@@bulletproof1581 That's the worst part in the last episode he made a joke and none of his team was laughing lmao
Thank you Ilia for making the lead up fun. But being respectful
Wow none of these fighters are even my #1 favorite UFC fighter BUT this might just be the best embedded episode I’ve ever seen🔥🔥
Old man Volk is my new fovourite cosplay :D
Ian Garry sounded like he was on the verge of tears when he got booed 😂 And illia wants to be McGregor so bad 💀 Goofy ahh press conference
I agree… ilia is McGregor if you ordered him from Wish🤣
Ian even called off the 1-on-1 with bisping lmao
@@PozzaPizzhes mentally weak if he couldn’t even do an interview with bisping😂😂
He did a whole interview with bisping like 10 minutes ago after weighing in though. They talked for a long time. @@PozzaPizz
Love how they made that presser seem even. Clear 10-8 for Volkanovski.
Volk killin it haaaard! Paulo waking him up was world class
Costa Whitaker is the one I’m most interested in.
You think costa can win?
@@Chocobohunter Definitely. Rob can win too though. If Costa fights the way he did before the Adesanya fight, it should be interesting.
easy game for Whittaker.
@@frost-80 Too much Gaming in front of that computer for Whittaker. Cant win in ufc if you are spending 4-6 hours a day playing video games on his NEW channel... He has not won since he started his gaming channel. hope he proves me wrong, but I doubt it
Ilia is like a Bond villain
A bad one, yeah
Not even close
The thing with Bond villains is that they always lose or die lmao
Fan of Ilia after that convo he had with Alex “just fighting for my dreams” 👏🏾
Loving old man Volk.. 😂😂😂
That was a class act by Ilia. Showing nothing but respect but at the same time making it clear what he's there for.
Merab has that fighters face & a heart of hold 😂💪🏿
man ... some cold and respectful words by ilia 😮💨
Ian "Coddled" Garry
“Im just fighting for my dreams.” Was real af. Cant wait. No sides. May the best man win.
Volk is like tank man! Never tired . Respect both guy's🤟
Guru and Nina have taken over the UFC. Ariel hiding in a tunnel somewhere..
Ilia tuporia Win button 💯🏆
Yall shoulda liked the comment 🤣🤝
Respect to ilia for saying that to volk as they faced off... gonna be a good one
Man Topuria really wimped out at that face off
“It’s just business “😂😂😂😂
Finally a presser that's fun. Gotta love Volk, Bobby Knukles & Merab...
Cool keep saying that, so the higher ups notice... Maybe we are out of the lame Conor era
I just watched all of Ilia's fights an the dude is definitely skilled but he has not faced a Rodriguez or a Holloway not even close. He definitely hasn't faced Islam. He has highlights on people like Bryce Mitchell and Josh Emmett who's a beast but I mean there's levels. I was saying the same thing before the Conor vs. Jose fight back in the day, so who the hell knows.
Merab is the best, I am rooting for him and Volk
Heck yeah! Amazing press conference.
I like that topuria said that to volk before the last face off
EL MATADORRRRR❤❤❤❤
