One of my favorite ever moments of MK was when Luke was hysterically laughing while high af at that discontinued food question. I still revisit that clip every now and then 😂
Islam is taller but Interms of weight topuria is actually bigger than Islam, javier mendez said it many times Islam's never got heavier than 81 killos unlike topuria who gets to 82 kilos or more, which goes in lines with what khabib said 4 years ago too about Islam. Which makes topuria's body type semilar to khabib they can easiky gaine a lot of weight outside of competition but they can also loses a lot weight fast in camp, where as Islam is more like a gsp type who are very muscular and ripped but have a hard time gaining any weight or losing weight as well, gsp talked about it when trying to move up to 185, I believe they call his body type ectomophe or something,
@adub92199 if a low level unranked fighter like Herbert hurt topuria badly on the feet dropped him with a head kick and how zalal also roughed topuria on the feet and wen to a close decision than Islam will do cruel things to topuria anywhere the fight stays at even if it's on the feet.
@adub92199 if a can unranked fighter like Herbert can hurt illia badly on the feet dropped him with a head kick and how zalal also roughed topuria on the feet and wen to a close decision than Islam will do very cruel things to topuria anywhere the fight stays at even if it's on the feet.
Even in the striking islam can compete against tuporia and do very well, Islam is one of the best defensive fighters in mma, he doesn't get hit in his fights unlike max who is one of the worst fighter defensively statistically and volk who although got decent defense got knocked out. I remember luke underestimate Islam striking against oliviera, volk and poirier as well saying the same thing here, that if the fight stay on the feet poirier and oliviera would beat him, nah dude its more complicated than that, and by the way Islam beat all those elit strikers with striking. Islam's striking is very effective not just because of the threat of the take down but because he combines good basics striking techniques with unorthodox striking moves and thats the number 1 reason why his striking always confuses his opponents even against elit strikers like volk, I can recall even poirier in the post fight press talked about it he said something a long the line of (it was hard to have striking success against Islam because of his strange unorthodox movements it was hard to read them just like khabib) Topuria is a textbook boxer with strong basics but since he hits so hard it makes his striking even better, but in actuality his striking skills are not vast, he is a great boxer perhaps the best in mma right now but his kicking skills is average, he can't switch and fight southpaw, and he doesn't have the skills Islam got in the clinch ( knees elbows) .... And the way he stand striking he will be open for Islam body kicks and head kicks.
Islam can't go up if Belal isn't champion because there are other contenders Luke? After 4 defences?! BUT Ilia can hold up FW go up and fuck around do as he please after ONE defence? Yeah right G T F O. LT try not to suck off Ilia Challenge = Impossible.
Yeah if shavkat beat mohamed and Islam ask for a 170 title shot he is getting it, he is big enough of a star and he already deserves one, when Islam vs volk happened there was many contender at 155 too but the ufc made the fight anyway because, 1 khabib asked for it, 2 it was a big fight. But honestly if mohamed is still champion by the end of 2025, all the fun match ups and big money fights for Islam are at 155, not 170 Max holloway. Needs 1 wins and he fights Islam, Geathje. Needs one wins. Moicano is in a win streak and the build up would be funny. Tuporia needs 1 win at 155 and him vs islam is a mega fight. Fiziev would be fun but he needs more wins.
He's not saying what he wants to happen, saying what he thinks could/would happen. He's been very vocal that he doesn't want ilia to move up. Don't take analysis so personally
In competetive divisions like those, especially as stacked as 155 with neverending contenders, ideally the champ would never move up - but if they're popular enough and want to it's going to happen
Sooner or later it’s going to effect the legitimacy of the sport, and the UFC specifically, if stars like Jones and Francis, or even Islam and Topuria, aren’t making the same kind of money athletes in the other sports Dana is trying to emulate make… (NFL, NBA, etc…) 🤷♂️
A show that is to go over the year in review going over fights and fighters that have been giving themselves to the sport and fans opens yapping about a former fighter and the "what ifs" . Dont waste the fans time. Move on
I totally agree with topuria fighter of the year. And i dont like topuria because he beat my favorite two fighters in that year. But you cant deny him.
Illia should secure his title shot against Charles and in the meantime Volk and Lopes fight for an interim. Illia then comes back to unify them before moving up to face Islam
Illia is not be the best boxer in the UFC, as Max outboxed him in their fight; however, his punching power is an advantage. Max himself was outboxed by Poirier, who was outboxed by Islam.
To say Illia submits Islam is crazy. Islam submitted the king of submission. Illia looked impressive on Volk's fight but thats a residue of Islam's headkick after 2 months. Max also went to war n went down in Justin's fight, he admitted it too.. The stats didn't count. We all saw it was coming for Max. The names Illia beat is high level but the condition of those two men were shaky n not in their best form.I think people r riding too high on Illia's horse. Dustin gives him a hard time at 155.
Fucking agree 💯 Those weight cuts back to 145 after bulking to 155 definitely compromised them both. IMO Charles, Islam, DP, JG, Armen and maybe 55 Max all spank Ilia. Do I wanna see it? Hell yes
How long more will you haters keep making excuses, I'm sure once he beats Islam yall be like Islam is older and Khabib wasn't his corner and all that shit
It’s because Star Wars is for kids and kids are getting older in 20 years lol it’s the same thing with the new Star Wars. Old people hate them now and kids like them smh sheep
Merry Christmas Denis and Luke. The original trilogy ranks number one. Then the second trilogy is there. The one that really sucks is the JJ Abrams trilogy. Downright pure awful.
100% worst possible viewpoints on the Prequels.. backed up by complete brain dead opinions advocating for the (awful) Disney trilogy Luke Thomas ladies and gentlemen..
Straight up submission grappling ilia could probably not beat Islam? Only probably? What are we talking about here Luke. Also, I know Luke loves Ilia but Islam winning 6/10 is too low
Luke doesn't get that its after the Disney sequels that we can retrospectively say, when compared, the the prequels where way better than they gave them credit. Disney showed what truly bad star wars is
Agree, LT is the king of misquotes...he implied Dana said Aspinall vs Jones is the biggest fight in UFC history, when Dana actually said it is "the biggest fight in UFC heavyweight history", big difference, but ok Luke 🤥
Ilia is an amazing boxer and suddenly he's going to steam roll everyone including Makhachev? Give me a break. He won't beat Arman, he won't beat Makhachev. He'll be deeply tested against Oliveira and Poirier. Let's come down to reality. He will be put in his place in the coming year. Where are his submissions? Grappling wins?
Luke sounds stupid, On fight of the year, potan fought 2 fomer champion who vacated the belt don't forget volk went night night against islam makhachev 2 months before his fight against illia
Argument is stupid. Pereira and Topuria both fought the best competition that their division could offer them. Saying that Ilia is fighting higher quality fighters is stupid.
U was t to talk about reality or fantasy? The reality is tuporia faced the best compitetion and poatan fought the worst not only (205 is the worst division) but periera ducked the n1 ankalaev to cherry picked the number 9th guy, kalil who is a journey man who got koed by walker and alex pereira still struggled against that guy and even got dropped hurt badly and losing every rounds before the finish.... If periera had fought fighters on the level of max or volk he would get knocked out again like izzy did to him. Plus hill a d jirri became whapion by beating a 44 year old glover lol.
I actually feel bad for this channel. It used to be fire. Followed Colby’s decline arc. Imagine having to denigrate yourself to have Iuke Thomas on….sad day.
One of my favorite ever moments of MK was when Luke was hysterically laughing while high af at that discontinued food question. I still revisit that clip every now and then 😂
Luke on point always
Luke is a douche
“Nobody cares about Conor anymore” literally the very first thing discussed
Merry Christmas Submission Radio! 🎄Thanks for all the great content this year 💪
Merry Christmas!!! Thanks for the support!
P1 Luke Thomas fan here - becoming a big fan of these collabs, GG's
Cheers brotha!
Reluctantly agree. It's Ilia Topuria . . . And re popularity it is Poatan!!merry Xmas 🎉
Merry Xmas!!!
Logan vs Conor is an all TKO deal, thus making it possible.
The crazy fight Dana is working on is Khamzat vs Pereira
No way they let Alex get mauled like that
No way he’d do that. Why sacrifice Alex? He is a cash cow
What's up with the negative comments lmao Luke is just a guest not the permanent co host
Well said
He ain’t saying any woke stuff here
@@thesatisfiedcustomer4869do you even know what woke means or where it comes from?
First lol. Great so far, fellas. From SC USA
Cheers to you brotha! Have a great Xmas!
Lol I would take islam 9 out of 10 times against ilia people don't realise how good islam is..
And he's much bigger
Islam is taller but Interms of weight topuria is actually bigger than Islam, javier mendez said it many times Islam's never got heavier than 81 killos unlike topuria who gets to 82 kilos or more, which goes in lines with what khabib said 4 years ago too about Islam.

If volk roughed him up on the feet in their first fight I think ilia can really do damage. It all depends on how long it stays on the feet
@adub92199 if a low level unranked fighter like Herbert hurt topuria badly on the feet dropped him with a head kick and how zalal also roughed topuria on the feet and wen to a close decision than Islam will do cruel things to topuria anywhere the fight stays at even if it's on the feet.

I can only imagine the method in which Luke wanted you to die when you started that introduction. 😂😂😂. Always enjoy these
He's kind to me 🤣
Yoda vs Dooku battle shits on all lightsaber duels from the originals.
It has more whistles and bells but it's not more drama than Empire
Thanks for having LT on a lot!
I love Luke Thomas even more after hearing his views on movies! His views are pretty much identical to my own.
I like these 2 together
Thanks man! Thanks for the kind words!
Nobody cares about Conor vs one of the Pauls. Wish media would just ignore Conor
Love this show
Thanks for the love, means a lot! Have a great Xmas!
Spend enough time talking about the logan vs conner fight?
Luke Thomas gets so emotional
No way can ilia submit islam. Absolutely no way. Islam is superb on the ground.
Even in the striking islam can compete against tuporia and do very well, Islam is one of the best defensive fighters in mma, he doesn't get hit in his fights unlike max who is one of the worst fighter defensively statistically and volk who although got decent defense got knocked out.

i agree but i still think ilia can ko him and it is very 50/50 fight
@@nikajaliashvili1346 definitely not 50/50. But a lucky punch can happen.
@olbapoli4074 lucky punch? Take that casual bitchass talk somewere else. It is 50/50 fight
35:08, I love Luke but I’m saving this moment. If Charles wins the strap later this year. I want to remember this statement
Islam can't go up if Belal isn't champion because there are other contenders Luke? After 4 defences?! BUT Ilia can hold up FW go up and fuck around do as he please after ONE defence? Yeah right G T F O. LT try not to suck off Ilia Challenge = Impossible.

The only way I see this bout being interesting is if it was a scheduled real Mixed Rules fight.
Was trying to avoid Connor talk.... 😅 1:07
A show that is to go over the year in review going over fights and fighters that have been giving themselves to the sport and fans opens yapping about a former fighter and the "what ifs" .
Dont waste the fans time. Move on
Respect Luke Thomas 🫡. But still bro you’ll get wobbled! On god
37:40 Luke is 100% correct. Star Wars was considered a joke in '99 even by older teens. Only some little kids liked it.
I totally agree with topuria fighter of the year. And i dont like topuria because he beat my favorite two fighters in that year. But you cant deny him.

There goes Luke again with the "anyone who doesn't agree with my movie or music tastes and preferences is *insert 6th grade level insults* "

Max didn't go to war with Justin. It was literally one-sided beat down. Volk would get slept either way. Tired of the excuses.
Fucking agree 💯 Those weight cuts back to 145 after bulking to 155 definitely compromised them both. IMO Charles, Islam, DP, JG, Armen and maybe 55 Max all spank Ilia. Do I wanna see it? Hell yes
@@Jay-s4n7m that 145 scale is what max went to war with after 300 😂
Residue of islams head kick after 2 months, max had wqr bwfore and coudnt fight.
Wow another level of retard trying his best to find excuses 😂😂😂😂
How long more will you haters keep making excuses, I'm sure once he beats Islam yall be like Islam is older and Khabib wasn't his corner and all that shit
Revenge of the Sith is fire
Better than Episode 1?

It’s because Star Wars is for kids and kids are getting older in 20 years lol it’s the same thing with the new Star Wars. Old people hate them now and kids like them smh sheep
Too many 15 second ads
i like the prequels
Fave one?
@SubmissionRadio the phantom menace, it was my first star wars movie and I loved it
Niether here, nor there
Merry Christmas Denis and Luke. The original trilogy ranks number one. Then the second trilogy is there. The one that really sucks is the JJ Abrams trilogy. Downright pure awful.

Dana probably make the Conor vs Logan fight for his boxing promotion
Straight up submission grappling ilia could probably not beat Islam? Only probably? What are we talking about here Luke. Also, I know Luke loves Ilia but Islam winning 6/10 is too low
Topuria's last 2 wins dwarf Pereira's entire combat sports career. Enough said.
🤦♂️
@
Care to explain what’s wrong?
With that logic Chris Weidman and Ryan Bader are Goats
I agree even though max is my favorite fighter
@@DAMUSCUBASTEVE
What? How are they relevant here?
Ilia can ko islam but submit, it's 9 out of 10, no. Very rare
Luke Thomas is better than Pereira
The Phantom Menace wasn't great, HOWEVER The Clone Wars era of Star Wars was S-Tier ESPECIALLY after This Bad Fanfiction Disney Abomination
Luke doesn't get that its after the Disney sequels that we can retrospectively say, when compared, the the prequels where way better than they gave them credit. Disney showed what truly bad star wars is
Can you redo this episode without grey beard?
😂😂
Agree, LT is the king of misquotes...he implied Dana said Aspinall vs Jones is the biggest fight in UFC history, when Dana actually said it is "the biggest fight in UFC heavyweight history", big difference, but ok Luke 🤥
Agreed
Dude, I just can't. Please do it solo or get a better co-host/guest. This woke creep is the absolute worst. See you on the next one! Peace!
Stop it luke with that glazing tuporia submission
Just watched a video of Luke pushing medical advice. I’ll never forgive him.
Die hard is maybe the best Christmas movie or Friday after the next. Worst Christmas movie is bad Santa 😂 movies shite
But how do you feel about Jingle All the Way? BTW that new Bateman netflix one is pretty sick too! Check it out
notorious for the wrong seasons, conor is these days
Ilia is an amazing boxer and suddenly he's going to steam roll everyone including Makhachev? Give me a break. He won't beat Arman, he won't beat Makhachev.

The “Dana White Jon Jones is the goat” meme could easily be used with Luke and Ilia
Can Luke recommend anymore leathel injections we should all get for 2025?😂 I wonder how many mk fans are dead because of this communist 😅
Argument is stupid. Pereira and Topuria both fought the best competition that their division could offer them. Saying that Ilia is fighting higher quality fighters is stupid.
Not totally true tho. Ankalaev is the best possible guy he could've fought at 205. Not his fault they didn't fight, but still they didn't fight.
U was t to talk about reality or fantasy? The reality is tuporia faced the best compitetion and poatan fought the worst not only (205 is the worst division) but periera ducked the n1 ankalaev to cherry picked the number 9th guy, kalil who is a journey man who got koed by walker and alex pereira still struggled against that guy and even got dropped hurt badly and losing every rounds before the finish....

No it’s true, if Alex fought Ankalaev then what you said would be true but it’s not
@nikobellic9004 you know zero about mma. Such an ignorant comment
Are we pretending Rountree, Hill and Jiri are as skilled and good as Max and Volk? Lmao insane argument

Geez Luke is long-winded. Takes 20mins to answer one question, while mostly just repeating himself. I'd rather listen to a car alarm
Ok luke...... The irony that you live in D.C. Certainly fits.
Didn't see him there when you were smearing faecal matter on the walls?
Islam walk around weight claim at 179 is #1 bullshit. He every bit of 190 out of camp
