I stick by my guns, I'm not a fan just cos he won, he's clearly a good fighter and no disrespect for his skill, but I don't like this kind of character

@@bengough6955I notice Americans never outright like new fighters because they don’t speak their language. I promise you that 2-3 fights from now everyone will get used to him and will become fans. They just have to get over the xenophobia first

@@josh8oh8 bs

Me too. I love Volk and I sound biased saying this, but I noticed he usually eats these shots. He gets dropped occasionally but man that knockout by Islam did not help the situation, his brain needs to a year to fully recover and here he is putting himself in a situation where can easily lose once again. Now he wants a rematch, I wish he’d wait like he was supposed too.

lol come on now. i love volk but science is as undefeated as father time. the math is connected to the biology.

I've won a fortune on betting against Volk.

@@___XY____________0 I don't think it would make difference. Different power seems like this one just shuts off the lights. I would love Volk take a good chunk of the year maybe till november MSG. But i would still think lights would go out instantly. Wrestling could make it play out different but Ilia is no slouch in wrestling. I predicted Ilia winning by KO, i feel he makes it happen again. Get rest Volk, you need!

Volkanovski just loses against Makachev and it was a K.O I think that makes Volkanovski mindset completely changed a Fighters mind will be different after a lose specially from a K.O coz them will think It could happen again they will start to question their skills inside the ring doubts will be there they are not 100 percent focus their main goal will be like how to survive round by round the complete confidence to win is not there anymore.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

As an Ilia fan, too early to tell

​@@JPMNRBthere is literally NOONE in the fw division right now that can beat him

@@zanetruesdale7263Max has a very good chance

he does have a bright future

Exactly the same thing I felt bro! 😢💔 but movement, rise, fall, all part of the nature of life and reality. Impressive KO/TKO. Love Volk - still a champ! Congrats to Topuria!

Likely but the way I see it is like this. Once the era ends, the belt bounces around 2-3 hands and then finds another era worthy champ. LHW is in the midst of this. So is MW. Granted, it ain’t solid math. But I feel it’s likely he loses in 1-2 defences, and so do the next 1-2 champs.

Para ver a topuria el Bernabéu se llena . Y más ahora que a ganado a volkanoski, antes sería más difícil la verdad .

La gente tiene ganas de ver el el Bernabéu con las obras terminadas y que mejor forma que ir para ver a ilia defender título .

I don’t want to see it as Volk is old and Holloway is getting there too…. But they both could have the belt. If O’Malley fights Illia then O’Malley is the champ , no question about it. At that point Max and Volk both stand a chance. It sucks because I’d like to see the divisions active and strong but I don’t see any possible way O’Malley doesn’t take both belts then squat for a few years.

I don't think this is an age issue. Illia is just more explosive

@@dexterlecter7289i dont really think omalley can easily beat topuria at fw, how good is omalley grappling??

That’s life nothing is forever

He might lose for sure. Illia is a beast. I'm simply saying that O'Malley, after another fight or 2, should be allowed to have that title fight if he keeps winning. See what he can do. If he loses, he loses but at least he pushed his potential. @@Miguel-wi4up

And ilia always finds ways to KO😅

@@danicruz226 He competes with a Georgian flag

​​​​@@compareFirepower I do not agree with your definition of identity. If it only was required to speak spanish, live in Spain and to be a "matador". Then anyone can become spanish, the requirements are to easy. (Bullfighting actually originates from mesopataimia/middle east region so is it actually Spanish culture? True that it is associated with spanish culture but If chinese people suddenly started Bullfighting would it be chinese culture?) In my opinion genes are a better way of identification, because you cannot change your genes so for example I am swedish I cannot become spanish by just living in Spain and speaking spanish. Topuria has Georgian genetics which would make him only Georgian. Problem with identification with genetics is that everyone from every country can have children with eachother. For example Topuria's son is half Georgian genetics half spanish genetics so what is he? The more you think about it the more you reliase that countries are just made up. Just my perspective on this matter.

@@SamadaptivednaTechnically the Germans have more of a claim on him, however it seems he has more affinity with Spain, most likely due to spending his teenage and adult life there, his kids are half Spanish so he probably wants to represent. But agreed 100% Georgian power

This. How he wittingly answered the Evloev question. Im impressed.

Two undefeated fighters for the belt, in Spain

i dont believe in ilias "black belt" i feel he needs to be tested on the ground to cement himself as an mma champ, he didn't fight a single wrestler. The UFC needs to stop pushing people so fast, he should've fought evloev before volk

@@screamskilos3951 Bryce Mitchell and Ryan Hall are both grapplers, and Mitchell is a talented wrestler. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Movsars not Merabs, Merab is the guy that fought today and dominated CCC, Movsar is just a guy who yet to have any type of finish and somewhat exciting fight

He wasn’t talking about Merab but about Movsar Evloev ;)

Illia said once on an interview that know everything about the people on your division is your work to do, if someone says that he doesn't know about other fighters of their division is lying because of ego or just incompetence.

He was talking about Movsar and also he lied or he is misinformed. Movsar only has 1 split decision. I have no clue where he got the other 3 from.
