Volk has two losses in his career. A TKO in his fourth pro fight and a fight against Islam where he took the best lightweight in the world to the scorecard and narrowly lost. The TKO happened at welterweight. Since being in featherweight, Volk has been extremely durable and has an insane fight IQ. Ilia couldn’t finish Josh Emmitt in 5 rounds (who is a very tough fighter). But how does he expect to take out Volk in less than a round? That’s pretty nuts and it’s clear he’s just trying to talk his way into a championship fight before Volk fights Islam imo
Yeah, and Jose Aldo had been undefeated for 10 years and many considered him the p4p best right next to Jon Jones, and when Conor came in saying he will finish Aldo in 1 round everyone called him a clown, and thought Aldo was gonna run through him, only for Conor to KO him in 13 seconds. I’m not saying that’s what Ilia is gonna do because I really don’t know, but this is the fight game and anything can happen.
@@robinmorales5365 Did you just not read when he said Ilia couldn't finish Emmitt in 5 rounds? Ilia is a great fighter, but comparing him to Conor? Conor was knocking out legit fighters first and second round on his way to Aldo.
@@robinmorales5365 Illia has incredible defense compared to some of volks recent opponents, he also has the timing and speed matched. not to mention bone crushing power and if it gets to the ground volk is going to have problems there with topuria. overall he has what it takes to dethrone volk.
will Wilder ever be low IQ fighter if he believes he knock out everybody? Absolutely NO. It’s believe in his abilities. It’s not about Volk. Unless Ilia’s abilities is questioned he has every right to believe that he will knock out everybody😂 Plus he’s strong MFer
Ilia is doing exactly what he needs to do to get a title shot, he's making it interesting, he's only 26, so no problem is he loses to the P4P best..... win win for him
I hope he wins with all this trash talk. The last person that tried this at Featherweight was Giga and he took a bad beating and hasn’t fought in almost 2 years since then.
He won’t last as long as Yair did. He’s a very basic fighter. Fights orthodox with his lead leg hanging. Volk will chop that leg down and destroy him in less than 3 rounds.
@@vaellanshanmuru6405 He’s a very basic fighter. Notice that he hasn’t fought any elite fighters yet. He was set up against a battered 39 year old Emmett coming off a bad beating from Yair.

Wow, that’s a wild take: Ilia said Jai Herbert was a harder fight than Volk, because high-ranked guys (like Volk) are predictable and easy to plan for, while lower ranked guys (like Herbert) are unpredictable and hard to plan for. Lower ranked guys aren’t unpredictable. They predictably make mistakes that high-ranked guys easily exploit. Herbert was hard for Ilia because he had an 8-inch reach advantage.
@@n.fland.5694 Hahaha saw this coming from a mile. Before the fight everyone was talking about how Yair would be Volk's toughest matchup, especially those Islam stans, hoping that Volk would lose. Now all of the sudden Yair becomes trash according to the same people because Volk manhandled Yair. They will say Ilia is overrated once again when Volk beat him.
@@n.fland.5694Ilia will not even get past Holloway, so fighting Volk would make no sense for his career. This is a Darren Till situation all over again. Volk is not Josh Emmett. Volk almost knocked Islam out, and if Islam didnt sit for an entire round on Volk's back, the decision would have gone the other way. Remember: Volk isnt normally fighting at lightweight, and almost beat the best fighter they have. That guy is crazy good 😂
@@MeatTenderizer23 he hits harder I didn't say punches his kicks are harder than anything illia throws and are quicker than anything ilia throws.

Funny, everyone said the same thing about Volk before his 1st fight with Max. And we saw how those next 3 fights went. Ilia is as well rounded in skill as Volk was, prior to the Max fight. Has a high level wrestling/bjj background and is a tactical power striker. He routinely beats dudes at their own game. Poses a unique threat in that respect.
Stylistically ilia matches up with volk the best in the division. Good td defence to set up his power punches but if it goes to the ground he does have bjj. The only way u can beat volk is by stopping him.
@@beez467 Ilia can be the winner of this fight, his skills look very legit. That fight with Emmet was a cracker, but Volk is too good to be finished in the very first round in my opinion.

Yair had almost same background and also talk same big mouth BS that he will beat Volk easily. And? 3rd round KO. Done. No more big mouth talking. The same will happen to this big mouth here.
Volk was so good, he proved ilia didn’t belong in the cage with him, thus having ilia knock him out so he doesn’t have to share the octagon with ilia anymore😮 🐐
I love ilia’s energy. He’s a dog and a great fighter. Don’t think he’s ready for Volk. But I love seeing him call his shot. He wants that shot and will try to prevent Volk from going to Islam. I love it and so does Volk
Funny, everyone thought Volk couldnt beat Max. One could argue Ilia is as well rounded in skill as Volk was, before that 1st Max-Volk fight. Has a high level greco-roman wrestling/bjj background and is a tactical power striker. He routinely beats dudes at their own game. Poses a unique threat to Volk in that respect.
not me he was the perfect counter to Max. Never a stationary target, constantlly intercepting with leg kicks. Sharp, precise boxing combinations.. extremly strong and never gets tired. ohh and his knowledge of distance and angles. Hes always been a force
I'm from Spain and i just love to hear Topuria and Ariel saying they don't like bullfighting cause is mean and cruel. In my country is a damn nonsense, because only a few old fashioned guys still like it and somehow the whole thing is still running. They already banned it in Catalonia, Canary Islands and other regions and I hope soon gets banned in the rest of the country. Animal abuse is unforgivable.
Soft your ancestors would be ashamed. Wish I had that in my culture. Animals are abused to feed us or to be used at tools or workforce. Spare me the virtue signaling
I hope you are a vengan if you are saying that. I'm not for bull fighting but i think its very hypocritical to denounce bull fighting but eat chicken 3 times a week
Topuria doesnt speak too highly of Volk or Yair, but Yair got rid of Emmett in 2 rounds, but Topuria couldn't finish him. He's gonna see that the top 3 guys in the division are on another level.
@@sy12 everyone may be a bit of an exaggeration but I saw a bunch of comments leading up to this fight saying Volk was gonna lose. Glad he proved them wrong
thats called promotion doing its thing. they push the underdog and casual people bite. watch how the ilia hype plays out, it'll be even more one-sided but the media will make it out to be Volks hardest fight to date. Literally a cake walk, easiest opponent volk has had in 4 years
What gets me with Volk he hasn't shown the world how he fights or his style. Volk has fought a style or game plan to beat his opponent and that's it. Fight iq is amazing
He’s right about it being easier to game plan for a more established and conventional fighter, but the same is true for Volk’s ability to game plan for him. If it comes down to a fight of adaptions and planning I don’t see Volk doing anything other than smashing him. He’s just next level for fight IQ, planning, and execution.
Me personally I think Illia will give Volk's hardest fight so far, maybe on par with the 2nd Holloway fight, or even more difficult. Both guys are beasts, make no mistake about it, and I can't wait to see them confront each other in the octagon 🔥🔥

@@Undefeated0-0 brother, it may not be this fight and it may not be the next but his hype train will derail at his first lose because of how he’s built himself, I can’t wait
Probably the best thing that could happen to him is losing to Volk, that will humble him and teach him not to underestimate anyone and he will be even better cause he is still young and the future of the Featherweight division
I think it's gonna be a war. Ilia is like Volk in some sense, very well-rounded, no clear weakness. Also very powerful and durable. Skillwise they may be very even but I think Volk's cardio and strength will be too much for Ilia.
Dude , stop that bulshit narative. ilia beat emmet all 5 rounds. Emmet was beaten like a dog. And there are not many fighters who will take that punches. It would be better for emmet to loose with ko then that damage he took from that 5 round beating.
Bless this man from taking too many shots to the head! The delusion has kicked in. ilia is not the one to De-thrown Volk😂😂😂 he will get submitted or tko’d by round 3-4
Ilia doesn't have your casual human mentality, he's been training greco-roman wrestling since he was a kid and doing weigh cuts since he was 9, if you really think he's gonna step in the cage thinking he's gonna lose the fight, you're very wrong. He's the one who trains his ass every day and he's a top 5 elite fighter in a 8 billion people world, so he can talk whatever he wants as it is pure justified confidence. Everything can happen in mma, you see it every day.
Why is everyone saying this guy vs volk is competitive? the only top guy he’s fought is old man emmet and he couldn’t finish him in 5 rounds but he’ll finish Volk in 1? Right
You all are future Topuria fans 😂😂😂😂, volk was getting same hate until he beat Ortega, only after that fight he became fan favorite. Ilia will shut you all up and at first you will be angry but then you will start to love it 😂😂😂😂 you keyboard warriors
although i think that volk does win the fight between them, i think its gonna be alot closer than everyone thinks. ilia is definitely a major challenge the kid is super talented
You can learn higher ranked fighters better than the unknown ones because of availability of their footage, especially against top guys... Ilia will be studying Volk's fights for the Next few months... He has good chance to win... Come on Ilia 😎
Ilia will know he could take a big beating on the ground.. he will try to play with Volks ego to stay standing which gives him a slim chance Volk is very unlikely to fall for it, and I suspect he might torture him for 5 rounds and TKO him at the end!

@@Undefeated0-0 brother, it may not be this fight and it may not be the next but his hype train will derail at his first lose because of how he’s built himself, I can’t wait
@@Jay-kl3zb hype trains don’t get belts fool🤣that’s why we call them hype trains🤣
Oh come on Man! First round? So you count on luck, not a great game plan and your own skills?
Probably the best thing that could happen to him is losing to Volk, that will humble him and teach him not to underestimate anyone and he will be even better cause he is still young and the future of the Featherweight division
And new
This
Guys confidence is next level.
I almost don’t even feel worthy of being in his presence.
😂
Can't help but believe that hes gonna shock the world when he puts it all over Volkswagen
This is literally what people were saying about Yair.
Let’s see how ilia does against max and let’s see how cocky he is, I used to like this guy a lot but his ego going crazy
I think it's gonna be a war. Ilia is like Volk in some sense, very well-rounded, no clear weakness. Also very powerful and durable. Skillwise they may be very even but I think Volk's cardio and strength will be too much for Ilia.
Volk is also much more composed and faster than Illia
ur right and i think that fight goes the distance
I think volk stops him to be honest ko tko for sure volk is too much his great
+ ilia has not as big experience as Volk and he need that a lot
You know nothing, he is nothing like volk
Alex needs to take this guy seriously his hands are awesome but saying that Volk in 4
He also was going to knock out Josh Emmett in the first round
It was a close fight though gpd bless u anyway
Dude , stop that bulshit narative. ilia beat emmet all 5 rounds. Emmet was beaten like a dog. And there are not many fighters who will take that punches. It would be better for emmet to loose with ko then that damage he took from that 5 round beating.
@@pedropicapiedra4851jajajaja
Well😂
He literally says this about everyone
VOLK IS THE GOAT
He'll be impressed soon enough. Like literally
Volk has won his last 20 rounds in a row at featherweight.
Vamooos Ilia vamoooos 🇪🇸🥊🥋🏋🏻♂️🇪🇸Uuuuuussssssss
The Hulk wouldn't ko Volk in 1 round
What about 1 1/2?😂
Volk would wipe the floor with this guy.
Ilia could never ko yair
I rarely jump on hype trains but this guy definitely gonna pose problems to volk
Ima come back to tell you how wrong you are in a few months bud
@@Jay-kl3zbcrisp striking, power combinations and solid defense along with jiu jitsu base..lethal package my guy but let's see
Bless this man from taking too many shots to the head! The delusion has kicked in. ilia is not the one to De-thrown Volk😂😂😂 he will get submitted or tko’d by round 3-4
When was the last tine Volk submitted anyone? Topuria runs laps on the matt on Volk
@@jfc5246 yeah you’re ignorant if you believe ilia is gonna be the one to beat volk. He’s gonna get killed 🤣🤣
@@BLouis3 Did I say Topuria was going to beat Volk?
@@BLouis3 read his comment again bro and bring arguments.
"I'm short, but he even shorter than me!" 😂
Thanks Ilia, I needed a laugh this morning
just with a mirror you have it..
Hope you’ll also laugh when he finishes Volk . People haven’t seen Ilias full skillset yet…
@@DavidMartinez-ve8hi 👏
@@DavidMartinez-ve8hilook at the triggered Spaniard your guys going to get man handled for 5 rounds.
Ilia doesn't have your casual human mentality, he's been training greco-roman wrestling since he was a kid and doing weigh cuts since he was 9, if you really think he's gonna step in the cage thinking he's gonna lose the fight, you're very wrong. He's the one who trains his ass every day and he's a top 5 elite fighter in a 8 billion people world, so he can talk whatever he wants as it is pure justified confidence. Everything can happen in mma, you see it every day.
And Yair trained in an Aztec temple 😄
Ur very high bruv
Why is everyone saying this guy vs volk is competitive? the only top guy he’s fought is old man emmet and he couldn’t finish him in 5 rounds but he’ll finish Volk in 1? Right
ilia is delusional
He keeps saying this, very interesting. If the fight happens we'll see.
HE Said the same thing with emmet he couldn’t even tko him in 5😭🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
he manhandled a dude thats too tough for his own good. what you on about
@@draakmanz and the referee could have stopped the fight a few times.
@@draakmanz yair finished him in 1 and volk finished yair in 3 and made him look like a flashy amateur lmao stop it volk is gonna whoop him
@@luism2411 yair subbed him in 1 and volk whipped yair in 3 stop there’s levels to this
@@TunicThule casual lmao
You all are future Topuria fans 😂😂😂😂, volk was getting same hate until he beat Ortega, only after that fight he became fan favorite. Ilia will shut you all up and at first you will be angry but then you will start to love it 😂😂😂😂 you keyboard warriors
although i think that volk does win the fight between them, i think its gonna be alot closer than everyone thinks. ilia is definitely a major challenge the kid is super talented
Oh god fans are really like a broken record. Same said with yair when it was obvious it wouldn’t be
@@lukebfilms4232 i never thought the yair volk fight would be close lol. ilia has the cleaner striking and much better wrestling.
You can learn higher ranked fighters better than the unknown ones because of availability of their footage, especially against top guys... Ilia will be studying Volk's fights for the Next few months... He has good chance to win... Come on Ilia 😎
Diesnt like yairs style?! Yair would kill you
Ilia talking making sure he gets the PPV money getting belted by Alex, otherwise he takes less to get belted by Max.
Ilia is not YAIR, he’s not one dimensional
Ilia will know he could take a big beating on the ground.. he will try to play with Volks ego to stay standing which gives him a slim chance
Volk is very unlikely to fall for it, and I suspect he might torture him for 5 rounds and TKO him at the end!
He wasn't impressed bc he made it look easy. Yair would be topuria ass 💯
Ilia would mop the floor with Yair lol
@@masterthesis4645 heeellllz nooooo.
The fake Drake of MMA
Ilia - ' I will knock out volk in 1 st'
Me: not interested.
No
Touporia always saying he’s gonna get a 1st round ko
