It's insane how much can change in such a short amount of time. Watching these u see changes only frames apart. These 2 r such high level MMA fighters. This one can go either way. I will always love Volk. I just feel like Ilia Topuria is one of the best up & coming fighters right now. Neither guy should feel bad about losing because they really are pushing their skills to the ultimate test. I'm glad we are seeing 2 of the most skilled fighters face each other.
@@marcgarcia9568a lot of people say the same stuff ilia is saying but very few actually have the ability to back it up. Ilia is definitely one of those few
Unlike O'Malley and Strickland they both didn't expect to win the belt but Topuria is different he got confidence he probably see some weakness on Volkanovski and think he can win
Ilia will either turn out to be a future great or crumble to volk. Ilia hasn't faced anyone near the top yet. I don't know why ufc fast tracks these guys because it can sometimes completely ruin their careers. Pereira is different of course because of his level of experience.
I absolutely adore these videos and look forward to them everytime theres a PPV. As a newer fan, this is my 3rd year enjoying the sport, its taught me a lot.
This is real analysis, instead so many other amateurs on youtube who hope to gain followers when they make videos about this match. great work that he goes into detail. You can also see and hear. that there are a lot of amateurs who steal from the others, but you can hear that they don't know what they are talking about, copy past talk
I agree. They could easily just have that one guy and a standing training dummy. Fitzgerald could do the intros and jump back and forth to in certain moments
Casuals like Dan's commentary because he sounds confident. His striking breakdown is solid but the second there is wrestling or ground work he says the dumbest shit. Like a WWE fan commentating Olympic wrestling
Tbf Emmett telegraphs his punches and lunges in a lot more than Volk does. Volk is a clinician on the feet. The clinic he put on Holloway in their last fight, Zombie, and Ortega was something else.
dont worry, he fought makhachev the first time with a full camp and did not get finished, had a decent performance aswell. there is no size factor here, both are short men, 45er's with volk having a reach advantage
Another issue with Emmitt is he is openly grimacing before he throws. Ilya read him like a book on that first counter. From side control to crucifix was seamless. Wanna see Ilya get the job done. The belt belongs to no man or woman. Change is inevitable. Very cool he acknowledged fellow coach Joe Lopez, Volks coach and a great one
Yes Emmitt telegraphs too much and lunges in too much leaving himself open. Volk has outclassed much better strikers like Holloway on the feet. Every fights different of course and we know anything can happen yet Yair finished Emmit and Volk finished Yair. Volk gets it done and reminds everyone he’s the best at 145. He’s 35 years old that’s prime for UFC figures actually. People acting like he’s 45. .
Great breakdown and very entertaining. Clearly these two are the top of the game and have evolved into beasts. Both can finish if the other makes a mistake. Pushing everything off the table that has been said, I believe this fight is to be won mentally. Who is completely together and focused upon stepping into the octagon.
This guy over explains so much man, like it’s cool but chill tf out we understand to an extent what’s happening we just want a little break down bro not some scientific lecture
Volk and the Spaniard look like fucking street fighter 2 characters. I was not hyped for this fight until yesterday and I hope the story turns out with the Wylie vet humbling the lavish and stunning up and comer. I swear UFC is the evolution of sports combat and I’m here for it, such a pleasure especially considering the state of other main sports today
How many people thought Connor was done after diaz? And now you think Volk is done, ok maybe not done but you don't think he has enough time to recover from that last knock out, (meaning the odds are too much?
I love these "experts" who never watched Ilia outside the UFC and think he's just an elite striker. Can't wait for him to prove he is an even better wrestler, almost dagestani-like levels of control but with actual elite striking... He's like a pocket sized Islam with much better boxing, Volk is going 💤
Did these two not do their research? Ilia has brutal kicks, go look at his previous fights, but you can’t say that Volk is more diverse, when Ilia just chooses to do something he prefers
Emmet throws big looping shots and throws power into every shot. Volk is way more technical and throws straight shots. He also mixers his kicks and takedowns in to keep you guessing. Topuria is going to have his hands full if he tries stepping into the danger zone with volk
betting,ads,contracts, pretty much anything money related. UFC gets rich,fighters pay the bills and fans get entertained and forget about their miserable lives for a few hours.
You should also put in the clips of these guys getting hit, it would make for an all around better break down..Their weaknesses, because they both get hit, and both have similar weaknesses..Topuria is great and I was a fan long before he got into the UFC, but I think Volk is going to systematically beat him up, probably ground and pound TKO him, but Topuria is young, he'll be back for that title..Ofcourse Topuria has that boxers chance, and his boxers chance is worth more than most..
@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260 Maybe..But, I don't see any other probable path to victory, other than him catching Volk with one of those slick combos, and hurting him..My money is on Volk by ground and pound..We've seen Topuria taken down and held down by lots of guys no where near Volk's level or strength..
I totally agree they should address weaknesses. That's actually where I give Volk the edge, aside from being stronger and more experienced I feel like he's a little more disciplined and rarely finds himself out of position where as Ilia takes more chances and can get out of position and get hit, although he seems like he gets better with that every fight
@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260 I agree I think it's back and forth both will have their moments and it will go the distance but I think Volk's championship/5 round experience willbe the x factor and he will find a way to get the win
@@eddiehauser6661 Volk is alot more disciplined, and strategically smarter, it's why he is unbeaten as a feather weight, fighting the best of the best for several years now..Topuria has never fought at that level yet, 7th ranked Emmet, 10th ranked Mitchell, and he is improving quickly with every fight..But, I see the same glaring holes that Volk has mentioned..It's a shame Topuria didn't take a slower more strategic path to the belt..But, if he pulls it off, then I guess he did the right thing, but I doubt that very much..Either way, it's great experience and pay day..Volk's movement and distance control and decision making, shot selection is on another level..I do worry about a Volk with something to prove..Topuria got caught pretty good by Emmet a few times in that fight, and rocked in the 5th, although he wore it well...
Big Volk fan and rooting for him of course. However I have a bad feel about the upcoming fight with Ilia. Shouldn't have taken the Islam fight cause of the Ko specifically it's not that he just lost to a decision again, which is a big mental hit to Volks momentum. Ilia is young and hungry and have showed good hits. If Volk somehow manages to pull this off , he has to retire. He surely stays to stay active , to gain as much money as he can, but another loss will mess with him even worse. Better cut his losses and retire. Hope he wins this
I feel the same way it's gonna be back and forth and a good chess match type fight, only difference is I kind of look at it differently in that I think Volk's championship, 5 round experience will be the x factor and he will find a way to win
Why are these episodes so poorly advertised compared to when Dan Hardy used to do them? Had to actually come searching for a breakdown preview of this fight to find this video

Not at all. Dan is washed, Guru has taken over now.

Why don't they make this show with just one person? Seems kinda awkward having Fitzgerald just standing there silently
Because who's going to be there for Sayif to shadow box

Volks beat Max 3 times man. Y'all really think ilias boxing is going to cause a problem? Volk by club n sub
Not sub, ground and pound TKO like Yair
You'll be surprised if you think boxing is all what Ilia has to offer
love these, i hope they will continue them for a long time
who yall got? comment for Volk
Like for Topuria
Volk easily
Beat it
when is the countdown coming out? i want to see something
What software are they using to make those green drawings
‘I thibk you’re onto something there Brennan’. This is awesome
This will never be as good without Dan Hardy

Topuria via submission round 4 💯
Round 2!! 😉
Volk by ground and pound round 3
Submission? Ok
Man thinks illia will submit volk when Islam couldn’t even.. 💀
@@Drevglass Ortega almost submitted volk two times. 😂😂 Ortega had more success on ground than Islam. You're definitely a casual. Sit down junior.
good. 4k better.
Enjoyable analysis by Sayf as usual! Lol they accidentally showed a clip of Volk with the belt after the clip of his loss to Islam (at around 28:42)
whoever can pressure the other fighter against the cage wins the fight
bro having way too much fun with the digital ms paint
How many people thought Connor was done after diaz? And now you think Volk is done, ok maybe not done but you don't think he has enough time to recover from that last knock out, (meaning the odds are too much?
They also said pereira didn't get enough time to recover from the ko before the Jan fight
Topouria 15-0

Sounds like horse crap
With all due respect to Dagestan wrestling traditions, Georgian wrestling is up there as well.
The over/under makes a lot more sense from Ilia when you realise he started with Greco
He goes to it again and again
Beautiful breakdown! Can't wait for this one

Love these breakdowns and the work each of you guys put in to educate us.Thankyou😊

I love this show
Yeah a ton of great fights have been announced yet this is one everyone is excited about ! It is so intriguing !
