It should’ve been DC moderating this. No better instigator than him 😂
Michael bisping is the best instigator
@@LambSauceWill dc and max would def be antagonizing ilia and ilia’s big ego would make his head grow and grow till he exploded 🤣. Ilia is so full of himself, I hope max can spinning back kick him all the way back to Georgia. Get sick of listening to him 😒
For instigation Ariel would be the best for this interview
If u want an annoying person 😅😅
@@desertraider8628Ariel doesn’t instigate he just ask questions the UFC don’t like to see.
Ilia: “Did you watch Joker 2 yet?”
Max: “October 26 we gonna find out brudda”
LOL
😂
😅
Ilia: “what is your favorite color?”
Max: “October 26 we’re gonna fight out brotha”
The interviewer is terrible also I have loved both of these fighters from day one but I have never seen max scared like this. U can see on his face that he knows he has no chance. When illia said he was always a fan I was disappointed with maxes attitude and it's made it easy as I am 100% behind topuria. Max needs that little boy attitude knocked of his face.i think max is like this because everything illia says in true. So he has no response, very disappointing Mr Holloway
@@sammayo4820dude stfu. Max fought one of the scariest dudes in that division and slept him. He’s not scared of Illia
@@sammayo4820stfu writing paragraphs
@@sammayo4820it’s gonna be hilarious when ilia loses handidly
@@sammayo4820 "very disappointing Mr Holloway"
Obvious rage-bait. Try harder.
"Calm down."
'You calm down.'
"I'm calm."
'Good. Then stay calmed down.'
😂
We need to bring back those face to face interviews, those were peak 😩
Yep this the first one we had since Jon jones and DC
@@torronbrown4107there was one for masvidal and till
We need these 2 face to face in a table
@@torronbrown4107 khabib and tony had a phone press confrence which was funny lol
Guru has been calling it out for years
Tourpia: “ I will squash you “
Holloway: “come October 26 we gonna find out brudda ”
McGregor: "I will watch while being high off snow"
😂😂
Well what else to say on treats
its obvious they like each other. they just doing it to sell the fight
Haven’t watched it yet. Holloway gonna say October 26 we about to find out
It is what it is
at the end of the day it is what it is
‘We ahboutaah findOut sAtUrDaY night ma’bratha.’
to be the best you gotta beat the best!
@@mauriciohiure2192 and the best is blessed
Max: “Same exact drill”
Ilia: “ I don’t f*ing know who’s Joe. Who’s Joe?”.
Bro I’m dead
Tbf if youre not a native speaker the way he says drill does sound a bit like Joe lmao
I died too he misheard him and continued with it
Im spanish and I understood Joe and you, thanks for clarifying
It's funny hearing the Matador talk s***😂😂 you can tell Dana was behind this
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i gotta be honest this is hilarious, one of the calmest trash talking session i've ever seen
They actually respect each other, but try to sell fight😂😂😂
Just one is talking. The other is already scared. Once Ilia held the BMF title, the Hawaiian boy got scared 😂😂
@@riverads3817please don’t reproduce.
@@haveaseatsir lmao my thoughts exactly.
@haveaseatsir c'mon man, I know you want to keep the world full of stupd people like you, but i gotta save it.
When ilia put the bmf belt on his shoulder and smiled I started dying bruh is a troll 😭🤣
It's like when Kelvin walked around with Henry Cejudos belt 😂
😂😂😂😂@@jmz2144
For me it was when he started shadow boxing while Max was promoting the fight 😂
And people legit don't get the jokes lmfao.
FINALLY UFC are building up fights.
Get these 2 on a face-to-face interview, UFC.
All this money and they can’t even get this off zoom. UFC is a failure at promoting
We need that for every title/ main event fight
@@haaatski they always did this. Idk what happened
16:10 max said "come up with something new" while he atleast 15 times said same thing "we gonna find out oct 26" 💀
Ilia is gonna look silly come the 26th
Also telling him to calm down 2 different times while Illia had the same tone the whole interview lol
Ilia to slow to point out the obvious ..😂
When? What's the date again? @@ethanhurley2558
@@ethanhurley2558 it is what it is
The best thing about this its that we’ll find out october 26th brotha
😂
We'll see what happens.
Brudda*
Brotha, Did you say that we get to find out on October 26?
Yeah Braddah
If I had 10% of ilia’s confidence, my life would be good.
That is sad
@@samwho1731
Not as sad as your life
His confidence comes from ability and hard work kid
@@clutch7548it's not confidence when he seems super nervous when he talks cringe .. He don't seem like the brightest takker
He has something to support his confidence its not coming out of the air brother
Haven’t felt this nervous for a fight in a long time. Can’t wait
October 26th we gonna find out brotha
I swear bro
I am a huge topuria Fan but i like holloway too as a human and fighter
It can go either way maybe topuria tko or ko
Or Max decision or late tko because of his volume
What’s to be nervous about? Illias clearly going to win.
@@notpaper-cr6ni i am huge topuria fan bro he will win for Sure
But it will not be easy
Max wins
"Let's talk in Spanish, let's talk in Georgian, let's talk in Russian, let's talk in German" is a crazy flex. Wish I knew 5 languages
Why?
And also no you don't.
All the free time you got 😅.
Why you over there acting like you're running five fortune 100 companies and you ain't got no time 👀
Bro, people are wild
@@MetalFacedGamerYour life must really SUCK to completely go off on a random dude for no reason 😂

Max:same exact drill
Ilia: who’s Joe?
😂😂😂😂😂
KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
-Who's Joe?"
Max: what? Hahshahahaha I laugh so hard
Im spanish and I understood Joe and you, thanks for clarifying
Max was so dumbfounded 😂
Lmfao he was saying "drill " but it sounded like Joe 🤣😂
Topuria opening a old folks home 😂
Man, I know people hate on Ilia but I’m glad he’s taking smack and making the build up even more epic! I’m rooting for Holloway!
He’s gonna look silly when max puts him to sleep
@@ethanhurley2558won’t happen
@@SantanaMillerokay we’ll see when ilia is looking for his feet 😂
exactly
Might not ko him but Max might brutully beat on him for all 5 rounds he better not get tired@@SantanaMiller

Max: you sound like a spoiled child
Ilia: blah blah blah blah 💀💀💀💀
Nut swingers 😂😂😂
“Cuz I wanted to” 💀
Proved Max’s point🤣 This dude needs to be humbled
@@clutch7548 Ilia is actually trying to sell the fight and out trashtalking max in his own language
“ I’m a werido and ur normal Mamma Mia” 😂😂😂😂😂I beg someone clip that exchange
I don't think you can be an MMA fighter and be considered a "normal" person lol
@@StallionFernando not saying anyone is normal it’s just funny no?
Cmmon now ESPN You cannot post this legendary video in such a shitty quality
You know ESPN does not believe in HD 😂
Fr ufc social media team is fr so trash they actually suck
@@jamm6418 People are literally paying for ESPN on cable to watch 720p resolution on their 4k TVs lol
In their defence, they're relying on Max and Ilia's webcam quality. But Brendan's camera quality is pretty bad yes
@@KeyserSoze23 thank you captain obvious it was a joke
We should admit that Topuria carry this interview, even speaking in english which is not his native language and Max from his side was just repeating october 26. As a fan we gonna win when Topuria defeats Max and keep making a show. He is already star, soon will be the main face of the UFC
He’s been cringe, but he really shined in this interview and turned down the cringe while still maintaining the utmost confidence.
I’ll be rooting for Max, but I think Ilia wins.
You think acting like an arrogant teenager is “carrying”🤣🤣 Real fans care about the fight, which is why Max says October 26. Talking is useless & Topuria aint McGregor
I LOVE that they are bringing back stuff like this. Please do these in person from now on. PLEASE KEEP THIS. Promote the fights!
12:38 When Ilia just started shadow boxing all of a sudden lmao
Haven’t watched yet. My guess max gonna say brother 20 times.
It is what it is
Broother
Rather hear that 1000 times ina row than listen to ilia mid trash talk
max got cooked
I am da heat bruddah
This fight and Bivol vs Beterbiev are my most anticipated of the year so far.
No, Tank vs Lamont is the fight of the year.
@@iaqhwho? 😂
@@iaqh no its not😂😂 only tank name is big and he didnt gain nothing from the fight but we will have 2 best lhw fighting for undisputed with 2 totally diffrent styles so no the biggest fight for the year is beterbiev vs bivol and ufc 308 is the best fight card with 4 sick fights on the main card
@@iaqh they are not going fight this year
“I took alotta people’s donuts. I hope you like churros. You about to get 1.”

100% Ilia did not get this joke lol
Tito level line right there haha
@@dannykim3846 def didn’t. but also churros in Spain aren’t always straight like a 1. …Still 10-9, Holloway.
Ilia knowing 5 languages is super impressive
Wow! Spanish, Georgian, English. Others? I thought he only knew those only.
@@liso6998también sabe hablar Alemán
Russian and German he said
@@liso6998he born in Germany and Georgia belonged to the soviet union
And none of those besides English will make you a star in the UFC 🤡
This fight will feed single mom’s for decades
😂😂😂😂
meaning?
lol, what do you mean by that?
pause
@@jimhendericks single mom's have no men to provide for them, this fight will make a lot of money that it will feed single moms
Ilia growing on me and has jokes 😂😂. You can tell even Max likes him low key
He talks outta of his ass😂 callin out islam its soon he will put in his plce
I dont think max likes him at all honestly. I think he's highly and truly annoyed with him.
Broken english makes it 10 times better lmao
RESPECTS HIM.✓
LIKES HIM?, IS iLiL' Premature.
OLD MAN VOLKS IS WAITING ON A HALL PASS FROM iLias Old Folks Home to COME OUT & PLAY!!!
BUT WHO DOES THE FORMER 45CHAMP REALLY WANT TO FACE NXT?
I CAN TELL U WHO$' NAME$ COME$ UP FOR THE UFC 2025PPV*LOTTERY & THATS NOT VOLK OR iLiA.

Finally the ufc listened. Crazy that these aren’t regularly done for big ppvs
they did it was colby vs masvidal lol

COME ON UFC, DANA WHITE ,we can't do these legendary thing on zoom meeting . BRING BACK FACE TO FACE INTERVIEWS . ASAP!!
100%
I respect ilia’s trash talk these good at this 🤣 this gonna be a good fight for sure
Press conference should be awesome
Topuria confusing "drill" with "Joe" at 8:45 had me in tears 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Max being confused when Ilia asked „Who‘s Joe?“ was hilarious
Max doesn't articulate and Ilia's speaking his 3rd language, 3rd
Max's reaction and confusion lmao
Joe momma
can’t lie, Ilia’s “smug/arrogant rich kid” type of persona and trash talk is a new one, i lowkey love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same lol
Ong it’s the funniest 😂
Ilia is the next superstar
Nah i need it to get humbled🤣
Hahahahaha these two are good talkers, they add spice to the fight and it's great without having to bring the family in.
That speak in my language comeback by Ilia was good
Min ?

As a Latino, I felt shame for Max because he knew that Ilia didn't speak English like a "native" American, so I'm glad for Ilia to defend himself🚬brodha
8:25 i haven’t laughed this hard in a minute
It was pretty funny😂
Lmaooo even ilia knew he we was being hypocritical
It would make a good gif
He looked like a cat 😂
I like that Ilia admited being a fan of Holloway since day1. I mean who is not.

@@RenzaissanceTVMax would’ve cooked him if he said then when ilia put on the belt 💀
@@RenzaissanceTVI love it
@@RenzaissanceTV Belal Muhammad Fan
Dude he’s lying. He claimed to be a fan and then proceeded to taunt him thru the whole interview😂. Thats not a fan. Max would show respect to any and every opponent. Illia may have some impressive skills, but this was an awesome display of tuporias cocky, pompous attitude. And for no reason. I understand he has to sell a fight, but you can sell a fight and be respectful. I’m not saying he’s wrong to do so, but I’ll admit I’m literally appalled by him calling himself a fan of max holloway, and some of you believe it.
Ilias confidence is about to make Max get mean. I think Max will keep his cool but hes definitely being affected by all this talk.
Yup and the 3rd volk fight showed us that he fights a step behind when he’s emotional or angry
This isn’t WWE😂😂😂😂😂
@@ware_fly7498No Volk had just improved and is the perfect matchup for Max. This fight style will be a lot different
Max Holloway is an absolute beast he doesn’t have to prove anything we all know he shows up
Topuria lowkey funny lol
his english got better too, holloway is in trouble
Ilia like a Bond villain 😂
@@keeyonniez deadass😂😂
"you sound like a spoiled child"
..."blah blah blah blah"
Topuria is gonna be even funnier when he’s trying to find his feet after getting ktfo
ILIA: "I'M SORRY"
MAX: "OCTOBER 26, WE GONNA FIND OUT BROTHA."
Max is pissed lol
Yeah he is cause ilia is kinda of a weirdo. I know I this I am I I I I. Narcissist much
He does know what to do that's why he is scared and u never thought or see it. I loved max but after how he is carrying him self in this I can't wait to see illia smash him up
Max is chill, but if he is then Mad Max is coming
@@ljt5856Facts anyone with common sense knows Illia deserves to get slapped. Its just trash talk but he is a d-bag🤣
No one has mentioned how Holloway pulled a DC with the "i want the easiest fight i asked for Ilia Topuria"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I noticed that as well 😂
You can tell ilia gets under max’s skin a little bit lol fan of both this gonna be FOTY 🔥
That's why Tuporia lost his cool and max was laughing telling him to calm down

Open your eyes. This is already over and done with. Max is getting koed
One shot every time Max says „October 26 we‘re gonna find out“
Topuria is funny AF
Max is wrong about Ilia Topuria boxing iq Teddy Atlas has said it's one of the best he's seen in the UFC
I think Topuria will ko Max
It should be obvious to anyone with eyes.
@@shredgod6394No, untrained eyes cant recognize fully the technical skills, you dummy. Considering the arrogant response & wannabe “guitar god”, your personality is obvious
Atlas is a grifter, always has been. Boxing doesn't like him anymore, and he likes to throat mma fighters for the publicity.
That is bulls hit
Topuria's trash talk is silly, but the dude is skilled..And he probably will KO Max...
Levels above Max’s trash talk
He cooked Max terribly, specially when childish Max criticized him for talking a little bit bad in his 4th language, when Max can barely speak english lol
Max talks pidgin. You would know if you were from Hawaii. And true English is from England. Proper English. How bout you speak it.

It was just ilia yapping and max being confused for 18 mins😂😂
the fact the we actually get to found out on October 26 its crazy
This is the best fight on the calendar for the rest of the year
Ilia was too funny in this
Rooting for Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway!
Will never forget the Khabib-Max press conference. The most friendly heated back and forth talk
Face to face would’ve been better but either way, quick response to guru lol
We need the face to face like masvidal vs till
Yeah lol king guru called it
Whose joe?
Max: we gonna find out on october 26

Max: you tired every time
Ilia: i’m tired KO people 😆😆

Topuria accent when hes trying to speak english and roast at the same time is hilarious af. Tuneing in fasholy 💯💥👏🏿
Dude ilia is hilarious 😂😂😂
This will be a BADASS fight! Good luck gentlemen
I feel like topuria is going to break max fans heart. He’s a professional guy. Doesn’t insult personal lives. Only talks fighting and provides entertaining fights and brings Drama. Topuria is inevitable. Sorry Max fans
Hes too small. Lucky punch on concussed Volk. Max wont get caught, and if he does wont get KO’d.
Max is too big & long (pause).
@@clutch7548lucky punch? Brother Volk knew illa’s power and fought hesitantly, if the “lucky” punch him didn’t Ko the follow up hook would have , what u on about
The Islam KO forever broke Volk.
Topuria is elite but hopefully this comment doesn’t make you look silly lol
@@gorocketzz6517 I’ve never been more confident on a fight. I put money in topuria and everything so it’s not just words.
More of these kind of interviews! Finally some actual promotion!!
That "all for free, no expenses" line actually got me.
Holloway has the worst trash talk. "Well find out" every single press conference.
Who Fkn cares he’s the goat
Holloway has no enemies in MMA, everybody likes him. Even Ilia
ye he needs to be more creative its the only thing he says
@@yhyhyh47he’s just not good at trash talking and never will be 😂he’s a nice guy
Whats the point of trash talk when we gon a find out on oct 26th
Illia has probably the best boxing ive seen in mma, been watching since the 90's but that doesnt mean it translates to mma. I think max stays on outside and drags him to 4th an 5t rd and puts it on him in those later rds.
This guy Ilia thought Max said “Joe” but Max said “Drill”🤣🤣🤣
The tension is crazy even through the screen this fight will be a guaranteed banger!
"I get tired of knocking people out" was a sick line
10-8 ilia bruv!! This guy has wicked lines and comebacks. And the record to back it every thing up. I’m done calling him a Connor wannabe. He is the next Connor for real. Special dude !!
Go back to aew with that bruv nonsense 😂 we like actual combat not that fake wrestling nonsense 😂
If you put aside their personalities outside the octagon, this match up is terrible for Max. This will be a straight up boxing match where Topuria got better skills, way heavier hands and is overall stronger than Max.
Max is a legend, you HATE to see him lose but Ilia will walk straight through him.
I hate to agree with you, but I definitely see a Topuria victory as well. Can't wait!!
lol
Mind says Ilia, heart says Holloway. Gonna be a great fight either way it goes
10-8 Ilia 😂 the accent with the trash talk reminds me of Khabib
Please... Ilia has the charisma of a brick wall 🧱
It is not that similar cause Ilia has that Spanish kind of accent while speaking English, and when he tries that American English, you can feel that's not natural. And Khabib was way more charismatic, which that made his accent even more characteristic.
5:47 Love how he is trolling
Max (and Max loves it too !!😂😂😂😂)
This is aggressively awkward
Sorry you have issues and saw it that way?
@@NK-ne9ufI see it that way to the reporter did such a horrible job stirring reactions out of them
@@NK-ne9ufOctober 26th we’ll get to find out! 🗣️🔊
Ilia confidence is scary, frightening. He said he was going to knock out one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world in Volk and did exactly that. With that confidence I would bet the house of Ilia.
He a fan he a fan he a fan!😂
Max Holloway: "Say something new".
Max 16 times in the video: "Oct 26 we gonna see man"
Show up and I’m gonna do the rest lmaooooooooooo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I want it”
“You sound like spoiled kid”
Then illia puckered his lips😂😭
That back and forth was funny ngl
Topuria is actually fun and I’m a big max fan 😂
0:54 I respect Max and have followed his career since he joined the UFC, but I find it a little weird to use, calling him a fan, like it's an insult. Doesn't that inherently insult all of his fans around the world, and suggest that Max looks down on them in some way?
This is a step in the right direction but I think it would be better in person
ilia smirking after putting the belt on his shoulders is hilarious 🤣🤣
