I lived in Alicante for a year, very close to his gym. I used to see him all the time having breakfast in a place close to his gym and dude, there’s just something about his aura that makes it even hard to look at him, maybe I’m just a bitch but he just looks so calm and confident it’s almost like serial killer vibes
He´s not wrong. His persona when he speaks spanish is completely different and its "lost in translation" when he talks in english and switches to the UFC man/promoter mode.
Combos increase your chances of finishing the fight, throwing one punch only is unlikely to get you a KO. These other fighters need to learn from Ilia Topuria, "The Evolution man".
Good boxing is such an advantage. Ik floyd got away with a jab for 20 years but he threw combos in his attacks, i think a lot of die hard mma fans may underestimate what good boxing can do in a fight
Georgians in Spain doing great!! Nikoloz Sherazadishvili number one judoka in the world represents Spain too like Ilia Topuria.. Spain need accept georgian migrants :DD
Yes of course, Spain give him opportunity to show us how great Ilia is but do not claim him as a SPANISH GUY because he have nothing commun with latin origins, he is georgian he was born georgian he will die georgian!@@Tinoyevski
@@MAMBERI8 He describes himself like a Spanish too, maybe u know better than him himself.... he lives in Spain, their sons are spaniards, and he will bring the UFC to Spain..... i think u need to understand something xD
This is how a man who accomplished his mission looks like. Through all that relentless violence you can see the peace in his soul. Something tells me he is here to stay for a while.
@@username7735 he literally lost the first round and was losing the second, just say win, you don't need to aggrandise something. Winning is impressive enough
He was mad confident in his abilities, he was able to sell the fight, but never crossed any red lines with volk. Walked out like a king, knocked the champion out and turned his haters into fans. Talked the talk and walked the walk, ilia is him.
Not sad for Volk. He is amazing and had a great run, made millions, well respected by all. We ALL get old it isn't a failure on his part. A special and entertaining guy as Ilia is now.
Ive had money on this due since He fought Ryan Hall, but I think the switch up on people is the fact that he fucking gave you a picture of what he was gona do and then went and painted it into reality. That was just fucking incredible
I was rooting for Volk, not because I‘m a fan but he has my sympathy, but Ilia showed a priceless performance and claimed the title totally fair without any doubts. Chapeau 👌🏻
@@wstew but he makes up for it with his power and well roundedness... I can see him whoop everyone in LW or most of them at least but lets hold our horses, first he needs to do what volk did which is, clear the FW division if he can
@@AnanMisger yeah MMA math isnt really a thing... anyone could beat anyone on any given day, Islam is a tough fight for everyone but he has been touched before... if a guy with some pop on his hands catches him could be trouble for him
I was watching the fight last night in a movie theater and I was the only one there cheering as Ilia walked out opposed to everyone cheering for Volk as he walked out. Man it was great to see everyone get quite after Topuria KO’d Volk. 🌹
Eres un grande tio❤ te queremos mucho encima habla inglés y pelea como los ángeles de eso no hay duda ❤🎉ahora toda una década de éxitos españoles Ilia estamos todos contigo apoyándote vale y viviendo unos momentos intensos🎉❤ (gracias por eso) igual que cuando veíamos a Tyson desfogandonos como cabras😅🎉❤besos guapo
Además no me extraña en absoluto que sea campeón del mundo teniendo una compañera como la que tiene no me extraña nada, ahí si te digo que eres campeón del olimpo😅🎉❤❤besos
The Man of His Words......! He ain't any McGregor Wannabe. He ain't even like McGregor who cannot keep his words Appreciate this man. Even if he shit talked about Volk, he is paying respect to him hear....!
Can you show me where it says that his trainers are Argentinian ? Actually interested not chalenging anything. Although Ilia said he doesn't care about Germany
best way to describe it. He has FU power, not quite at emmett or Stephens level but he's very close with and he's way more accurate and precise. I'd say he's closer to Stephens/Emmett in terms of pure power than he is to McGregor. Mcgregor was precise but he never had the devastating KOs like Ilia did.
So this is the interview where Ilia talk about being the new generation of fighters. I want to see "whats new" that these next generation of fighters will bring to UFC.
he's 27, his whole family is georgian and he moved to georgia and lived there for years until he moved to spain, i don't think he remembers anything from germany or the language so no attachments to it. i don't get ur point. he spent most of his life in georgia and spain so ofc he would respresent them both
WHAT THE 300 MAIN EVENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN: Push McGregor's comeback up to 300, like he wanted. Hes put on a ton of weight and wants to fight at 170 or 185 now. GSP is about to return to active competition, but only in grappling. Throw a BAG at him to get him to make his return in MMA instead. A blown up McGregor would be a dream opponent for him and the 300 main event is a mouthwatering opportunity. McGregor vs GSP for the UFC 300 Main Event Make Holloway vs Gaethje the Co-Main Pereira vs Hill looks PHENOMENAL a little further down the card Both guys get a MASSIVE legacy fight that they legitimately think they will win There you go. Event fixed.
Lmfao how mma fans switch up, everybody hated him called him cocky and rooted for volk, and now he is amazing and they Love him 😂
EXACTLY
Word !!!😂
Just like everyone hated on Volk when he won against Max the first time
Roflmao, roflcopter even, if i may
I rooted for this man wey before this, and I’m glad to see that now he has undoubtly proved to everybody that he is the real deal.
The AURA of this man is incredible.
I lived in Alicante for a year, very close to his gym. I used to see him all the time having breakfast in a place close to his gym and dude, there’s just something about his aura that makes it even hard to look at him, maybe I’m just a bitch but he just looks so calm and confident it’s almost like serial killer vibes
He was born in germany but his parents decided to make him a man and they moved back to Georgia for years 😂
Exactly what I felt mans is blessed
@@2feettotheground I think its possible that Ilia is legit primary psychopath. Cool as cucumber
Look at his back tattoo and what it means.
This guy can be probably the most complete mma fighter in history... good bjj, good wrestling, good striking + KO power...
Also tough as a rock
BJ Penn. Ilia is essentially the next evolution of that formula.
Dat real nuh....🌹
ilia topuria is the islam machachev at featherweight, dangerous everywhere
good chin, champion mentality and discipline mindset. Perfect fighter
People didn't realize that he was trash-talking for hype. he is down to the earth chill guy. very happy for him
Dam bro can u introduce me to him? I wanna see how down to earth he is
@@smokindopedaily1992 well i know a person who knows him i’m from Georgia as well and georgia is a small country we basically know eachother well
Anglo people can’t comprehend this
He´s not wrong.
His persona when he speaks spanish is completely different and its "lost in translation" when he talks in english and switches to the UFC man/promoter mode.
He was not even trash talking. He told everyone what he was going to do and then went on and did it.
Ilia is not conor, ilia is ilia
Translated by Google “I’m not trying to do that, that’s that”
@@CornyKidNPC and
@@CornyKidNPCHe is better than Connor.
@@CornyKidNPCno he doesn’t. That would be Ian Garry or paddy. Illia doesn’t bark he talked the talk and walked the dog. Every time.

yepp just like izzy swinged for his life and chinned alex
but combos increase the risk of you getting counter punched while youre wide open
@@terrycruise-zd5tw Of course, and exciting fighters take risks. It's what the fans want to see.
Other fighters don’t have the skills or speed to unload combos. Talking like it’s easy to add to your arsenal is ignorant.
UFC in Spain!!!
That sounds like a great idea.
Georgians in Spain doing great!! Nikoloz Sherazadishvili number one judoka in the world represents Spain too like Ilia Topuria.. Spain need accept georgian migrants :DD
In the Bernabau!

I hope they can organize events in Spain. It’s nice to see all football stars in the crowd.
UFC and world will hallucinate with spanish crowd when Ilia comes
This is how a man who accomplished his mission looks like. Through all that relentless violence you can see the peace in his soul. Something tells me he is here to stay for a while.
People just don’t realize that a UFC event in Spain in The Santiago Bernabeu can easily be the most epic UFC event ever. By far.
A class act good on you ilia a legend in the making!!! Just so it is known I called it!!
I got the screen shot on the weasle channel on his pre fight breakdown 1st 2nd rd ko

Aren’t we all! He’s a smooth operator, and authentic 👏🏽
Yhe way Ilia is looking directly at her eyes. Damn, this girl is lucky
And new fw champ!, Massive respect the amount of pressure he put on himself and followed through is crazy
He has massive proud balls

0:45 he was choking up speaking about volk, he has an immense respect for him and couldn't believe what he did to him
He was mad confident in his abilities, he was able to sell the fight, but never crossed any red lines with volk. Walked out like a king, knocked the champion out and turned his haters into fans. Talked the talk and walked the walk, ilia is him.
He speaks english very clearly and confidently. That's the sign of a high IQ and ambitious person.
Not sad for Volk. He is amazing and had a great run, made millions, well respected by all. We ALL get old it isn't a failure on his part. A special and entertaining guy as Ilia is now.
It is true, he is actually the Evolution of mixed martial arts. I would say he looks like a deadly boxer who is also good at wrestling and BJJ
გილოცავ, ილია 🇬🇪❤
I knew he was going to win, Vamos Ilia!
Ive had money on this due since He fought Ryan Hall, but I think the switch up on people is the fact that he fucking gave you a picture of what he was gona do and then went and painted it into reality. That was just fucking incredible
Gracias por representar España, que dios te bendiga y sigas haciendo historia.
She is standing so close to him😄
I thought Alex was going to win but Ilia proved me wrong. Respect to him and Im excited to see how he matches up against the rest of the division
More Mckenzie! less Nina. Congrats Topuria, that was an amazing showing.
Enhorabuena, te lo mereces, Campeon, mucho trabajo, gran corazon , mucho respeto , gran persona. Gracias, ILIA TOPURIA. ❤💪👍🖐️👏🇪🇦🇪🇦
felicitaciones desde georgia 🇬🇪🇪🇸
@@mkontridze🇪🇦🤝🇬🇪
Can't be compared to another legend, Topuria attained a new stature now. Illia is Illia 🦾
I called it since his first fight in ufc, I knew he was something special .
I like this guy giving Volk respect and his authenticity
Ilia made me think, made me believe that believing in yourself, even in any work you do, is very important in life
its a fact bro
Merab is next Georgian champion in bantamweight division! 🇬🇪 Alex is legend and big respect him! ✊
As long as topuria stays hungry and focused he will run 145 for a while
He can't beat rodrigez holloway evovea
Well doesnt that apply to everybody thats champ? 😂 can he successfully defend his belt atleast once?
It's gonna take a hell of an effort for someone to take the belt off this man
facts
A few years ago I already said that sugar and ilia will be champions, no one believed
Great job with the question "bookmarks"
Topuria eye contact game is crazy
What do you mean, him with his opponent or with journalists?
@@yudhaprawira8681 both🤣, but I meant with the journalist
He hit it after this 😂
I was rooting for Volk, not because I‘m a fan but he has my sympathy, but Ilia showed a priceless performance and claimed the title totally fair without any doubts. Chapeau 👌🏻
Champ mentality through and through... I'm a new fan now. Can't wait to see his next fight.
Grande ilia
Quick tutorial for those who can't see - what real confidence looks like!
Once again good boxing combinations did the job. Well done Ilia Topuria.
Ahora todos los que decían que illia solo habla, que diran. Sus palabras se respaldan con hechos. Ha venido a cambiar las reglas del juego.
Pues dirán más estupideces, como que Volka era un pobre viejecito ya, y se dedicaba a jugar a la petanca con Emmett
Recuerdos para Bryce Mitchell
Wow i love the respect !!!!!
❤Ama Fan of Ilia Topuria's
Style..
He is The Man of his Word"🎉
Was amazing for me, I follow ilia before he was in the ufc, crazy at 7am here in spain😍🇪🇦🥇🌹
He should go up to light weight for double champ status, cuz he has the power n skills to achieve it..👍👍👍👏👏💯💯💯
i'm with ilia but he is too small for LW top 10.

¡Grande campeón!
He is the new gold standard of MMA fighters.
Ilia topuria👏
These mfs from Georgia built different … it’s that caucaus DNA🧬
Thank you UFC!
Er ist sehr schlau und intelligent
I'm so glad Topuria can speak so fluently in English now, gonna be a great champ
Ilia 'on-point' Topuria!
Emmet looks like a super hero now
Classy, I like this guy.
Ілля Топурії красава
I hope we can all agree that that Ilia is definitely most handsome featherweight champ since king Conor
I was watching the fight last night in a movie theater and I was the only one there cheering as Ilia walked out opposed to everyone cheering for Volk as he walked out. Man it was great to see everyone get quite after Topuria KO’d Volk. 🌹

Get yourself a girl that looks at you like the interviewer looks at the champ

Illia is that guy
Makes me so happy a guy like him wins this championship. Pure class. Hopefully he stays champ for a long time. Alicante is so proud.
he's a great man congratulations!
His confidence is stunning
Very well said, ON POINT!
Can't wait to see him fight Movsar Evloev
Enorme Ilia! Orgullosos de ti!
ilia is not a scumbag that mention religion, family or personal situations, dont even compare ilia to mcgregor plz
