So, beating Jon is really easy. All you gotta do is find him in a park, feed him little bits of bread, and while he's eating them, 360 rolling thunder before he flies away.
To beat Jones, you literally just have to be somewhat big, half-decent at striking and a competent takedown defender. Most heavy fighters just can't do it because they're awful.
@0:35 is crafty craftsman Jack Hermansson the guy to beat aspinall with the stick and move, pitter-pat on the outside gameplan? People forget man, he beat the big saltyman slugger Joe pyfer and has 2 divisions of lighter-man skill.
If you want to beat Topuria, you first need to have excellent Muay Thai. Front kick, knees over the top, clinch, elbows to counter boxing entries... but also a decent TDD. Max Holloway had the right gameplan but it's not his style to fight like this. Illia wants to move up to Lightweight doesn't he ? Then I think Fiziev and Dan Hooker can beat him. Bad matchups for him.
Holloway just isn't a featherweight anymore. He took the fight for the title shot that's it, he shouldn't be fighting elite featherweight monsters anymore the same way Poirier shouldn't, he has outgrew the weight. Dan Hooker gets destroyed by Topuria, Chandler is not a technical striker at all and decapitated him. Hooker does not have the fundamentals to keep Topuria off him and Topuria also has grappling. Fiziev is a good shout but I think Topuria does worse to him than Gaethje did.
A guy who ppl doesnt talk about him and he's undefeated and younger than Topuria is Usman the brother of Umar the guy is tall and rangy and has better striking than Islam especially defensive by the time he's gonna come to ufc Topuria is gonna be in the lightweight or close to come that would be an amazing fight
I think stipe was always a nightmare matchup for aspinall due to the fact that he has survived early onslaughs from guys like Francis ngannou and been dominated by Daniel Cormier and weathered the storm in rd 3 and came back in rd4 via great boxing fundamentals, great wrestling, great cardio and amazing fight iq. I could see a fight between Tom and stipe from 2016-2021 with Tom and stipe trading shot and Tom managing to damage stipe in the pocket. Rd 2 I think that Tom takes stipe down but doesn’t hold him down for long and after they stand up Tom hurts stipe again before the round end. Rd 3 they both have success on the feet but you can see that stipe is getting the better of Tom and that Tom is starting to fade. Near the end of the round I think stipe would get a takedown at the end. Rd 4 stipe starts seriously hurting Tom and begins to mix it up to the body and eventually finishes him.
@@Lz7K1ngyou asked about BJJ not wrestling. Ilia subbed bryce who is a bjj black belt and was undefeated before fighting ilia. We haven't seen ilia's wrestling that much especially against high level wrestlers like evloev
Genuinely pretty impressed with you slipping into some of the accents. A few of them were on the money. It goes against the internet, but I don't think you had a bad take on any of these
7:09 thats cause thats the best khalil rountree thats stepped in the octagon, while alex was recovering from a broken foot, rib and was on antibiotics, literally the most compromised alex has ever been. The reason why Khalil rountree looked really good is because hes fought the worst alex we've ever seen, and he still got ko'd in the fourth
I almost clicked off the video when Flukas started talking about the caveman era of Frank Mir and Tank Abbott and how they were just better fighters back then
I’m sold on prime Cain and prime Brock Lesnar without a stomach disease having potential to do well against Tom, possibly just as well as jon. Tom still likely beats them all
Prime Fedor has a very good chance, Tom looked scared and nervous against pavlovich and was getting caught with his chin in the air and Fedor is an animal in the early rounds. Cain Velasquez smokes Aspinall imo. Arlovski took him into round 2 and if Cain does it he slows down badly and take a beating. Prime JDS v Aspinall would have been great.
Lucas my man, Alex decimates Ankalaev. No you can not be "patient "technical" against Alex, if you make it comfortable for a kickboxing legend like Alex he will do to you what he did to Strickland, Hill and Jiri. The reason Khalil was that dangerous is not just because Alex had 3 injuries, it's because Rountree's low explosive stance and fight style was that troublesome for him, but Alex still crushed him.
Now that we have seen ilia topuria skill and saying that ilia would beat islam, would he have beat volk if he didnt took the sexond islam fight? Ive always question this from time to time
Because it's literally his entire boxing style. He actually has pretty decent professional boxing standard boxing fundamentals and is extremely high level in the pocket, he walked down Josh Emmett. The standard of boxing in MMA is really poor if you really think walking down Topuria (he won't go anywhere) is conducive to winning with these mma fighters with poor boxing you are wrong. You don't fight to his strength. It's like saying the key to beating Demian Maia is trying to take him down and submit him.
And kicks imo, he got caught by Herbert by that high kick and has shown moments where he doesn’t deal well with them. I think Yair would give him trouble if he could actually wrestle
No, he has too much punching power. Pressure fighters beat outside/counter fighters, hard hitters beat pressure fighters because they stay in power range.
@@bigheadrhino Just not true and dumb. It depends who is better. You beat Mike Tyson by beating him on the outside and being good at it, not by sitting in the pocket and fighting his game.
@@Disinfo321 what? You just agreed with me. Tyson is a power punchers. He’s not a pressure fighters who’s goal is to wear people down. He looked to end fights witg a single punch or combination. Outside fighters/counter punchers beat power punchers, power punchers beat pressure fighters, pressure fighters beat counter punchers. Generally of course, there are always exceptions and most people are hybrids. Pressure fighters stay in range and don’t overcommit, so they don’t leave big openings to get countered.
I know Topuria is touted to have great wrestling...but Im wondering if Movsar or Aljamain can give him issues in that department, but like you said thing is Topuria can knock u out at anytime but if you can outwrestle him and make him scared to jump the gun on knockouts/disrupt his timing and pressure with the grappling threat that can give someone a chance.
I think O’Malley could give topuria a run for his money in the striking department and has the lighter man skill haha also I think Moreno and Kara France have the best chance to beat pantoja

i think so too but if he gotta be so defensively sound and have the perfect fight cuz if ilia connects it over

If you want to beat Topuria, you first need to have excellent Muay Thai. Front kick, knees over the top, clinch, elbows to counter boxing entries... but also a decent TDD. Max Holloway had the right gameplan but it's not his style to fight like this. Illia wants to move up to Lightweight doesn't he ? Then I think Fiziev and Dan Hooker can beat him.

Dan Hooker gets destroyed by Topuria, Chandler is not a technical striker at all and decapitated him. Hooker does not have the fundamentals to keep Topuria off him and Topuria also has grappling.
Fiziev is a good shout but I think Topuria does worse to him than Gaethje did.
I also think max just isn’t a featherweight now. He should stay at lightweight even tho the matchups are challenging
Oliveira has the best Muay Thai at 155.
A guy who ppl doesnt talk about him and he's undefeated and younger than Topuria is Usman the brother of Umar the guy is tall and rangy and has better striking than Islam especially defensive by the time he's gonna come to ufc Topuria is gonna be in the lightweight or close to come that would be an amazing fight

Prime JDS v Aspinall would have been great.

25:47 we need to see more but Jean Silva’s fight with Kevin Vallejos on DWCS was very telling of how he could beat Topuria

No you can not be "patient "technical" against Alex, if you make it comfortable for a kickboxing legend like Alex he will do to you what he did to Strickland, Hill and Jiri. The reason Khalil was that dangerous is not just because Alex had 3 injuries, it's because Rountree's low explosive stance and fight style was that troublesome for him, but Alex still crushed him.
so why didn´t he do that to Jan or Izzy? He´s not unbeatable just because of the credentials.

I agree
They are not that similar
Belals offensive wresting and S&C is better but usman’s a better boxer and has much better defense

We gonna not start with Jon Jones cause there is probably one guy that can beat him - Tom Aspinal. Now who can beat Tom - describes Jon Jones :D
