@@jabzjabzyou're right anyone can but not just anyone can see all the intricacies. Not like he's the only one that can but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable
More than Volk when he is flowing? I mean imo they should have Billed a Spanish card with Ilija vs Rodriguez and the winner takes on Volk. But seeings Volk just dismantled Yair it didnt make much sense. But Yair has looked insane and flowed as good as anyone. And Volk utterly shook that flow out of him after 2 mins
If you watch the Josh Emmett fight, you will see more speed from Topuria. Some of those exchanges where he stood in the pocket with Josh was lightning quick. He gets better and better with every fight.
I don’t like how open he is to leg kicks. In the emmett fight, illia just ate the leg kicks. His leg was red n Ik he can’t let Volk do that to him. Volk should win, these odds are weird.

@@LarfIeezeit’s not like volk debilitates guys with his leg kicks. He just scores points with them, it’s not like he’s barbosa or gaethje out here amputating guys legs with his kicks.
@@worldview6218 so do you think topuria will be able to land his boxing combos? Cause topuria isn’t a point winner. He loses every round until he gets u to the cage n let’s his hands go. In the middle of the octagon, he does nothing but throw a single jab.
Exactly - but dudes love to throw , makes them more marketable and less tiring - so it is what it is. Like Gaethje, dude a D1 wrestler killa who doesnt wrestle one bit. But doesnt mean you can take him down..
I just hope he doesn't become Josh emmett 2.0 lol. Emmett used to be a good wrestle grappler, then found out he had dynamite in his right hand, and now that's all he does and his grappling got far worse as his striking got better.@@xancypillosi9497
What are you talking about justin sucks at wrestling just stopping take downs is not wrestling buddy Justin sucks on the ground real wrestlers live there
@Jesus-il9nu Pretty weird that you see a fan cheering on an athlete and yhe first thing you think of is male on male sexual activities. Pretty suspicious
What an absolute treat getting fight breakdowns from one of the greatest and most intelligent fighters of all time. Thanks Mighty. I can't get enough of these breakdowns from you.
It's great that you gave credit to the ground and submission skills. A lot of American media only talks about his boxing, underestimating his ground game. He needs to show his wrestling skills even more!
Somebody shared a video 1:44m long with all 11 of Ilia's fights leading up to Volk here on TH-cam. I watched the whole thing. You can literally see him develop his boxing skills from his wrestling, learning how to deal with increasing range over time. The first few fights, he didn't land a single shot while standing. Each fight, he stood up a little longer, stood a little taller, and threw more shots while standing. Makes perfect sense. Wrestling is the last resort, so train that first. Striking is for winners, so train that later
his brother copy the style of the fighters that he will fight and he do it so well that is like illia is practicing with the opponent, i think that makes illia be more ready for the fight and gives him a huge advantage, illia said that his brother is so good at copying someone else style of fighting, he says that he is so good at copying that when he is in the fight he already knows how his opponent will fight and how to counter him, there is a podcast where they explain it
just on the way ilia's hands are placed i would do jab to rear kick (body legs or head doesnt matter), after that if ilia didnt back up i would follow with a rear hook while ducking at the same time to prevent any pull counters he might attempt, i have a sparring partner with a very similar style of defence and that usually works on him
you answered alot of questions i had haha. you're an amazing combat analyst. i have this fantasy of seeing you on the ufc 300 card man. i believe you're the greatest of all time in the ufc. 2100+ days as champion and 11 title defenses.
they compare topuria with conor, I would compare him with makhachev. Ilia is going to get as dominant as makachev is. both Ilia Topuria and islam makachev can only find true competition in the division above theirs. Makhachev will smoke poirier and tsarukian like topuria will defeat omaley and holloway. The big difference for me: the grappling, wrestling and striking of Ilia are even more visually stunning than makhachev's ones. The only "hole" or "lack" of topuria is kicks. topuria is going to ko and submit every opponent the ufc puts on his road for a long time to come
I study alot of MMA, do rather good with my bets/parlays, BUUUUT I understand MM is one of IF NOT the best MMA mind around... (Levels above Henry) so I'm here to pick his brain how I should go tonight... MM you are a true inspiration man, nothing but respect champ !!!!! UNDER 205 GOAT
Volk doesn't even through head kicks lol he uses his front leg for his kicks but gets countered alot with it. I rewatched the Ortega fight and he was getting clipped alot with it.
Genuine question: Why is that some channels use video clips of fighters previous fights for breakdowns (such as this video) whereas other channels like (Full reptile) uses photos only? I much prefer this!
I really wanna see Bryce vs evolve that Russian guy. he was suppose to fight before ilia, the dude who just beat Arnold Allan, that would be a fun fight plus it was a grudge match.
We thinking of the same combo, emmett n Herbert countered with a right hook lol? Earlier I was all over topuria but his only path to victory is landing that one lucky shot. I don’t see it. Volk by leg kicks n lateral movement ftw
Ilia's good, but I honestly believe Mitchell when he says he was having cardio issues from being sick during this fight. We've seen Bryce go 3 full rounds with Ige, Barboza, and Fili and not be gassed, whereas he was gassed by the end of the 1st in this fight. I'm not saying that Ilia wouldn't have won this fight regardless, but I think he wouldn't have been able to manhandle Mitchell or submit him.
He’s a boxer with good ground game. Not even great ground game. There’s a reason he won’t fight max or yair. They’d finish him. Even Allen the beast will finish him
Honestly I don't remember that fight with Bryce being that close but dang Bryce Mitchel is a much better fighter than I thought and he was sick during this fight. Ilia is a straight up beast! I don't think he can beat Volk but he's definitely a few fights from that level!
I just dont see how illia deals with volk's leg kicks, footwork, takedowns or his top pressure. Illia's offensive/defensive head movement is good but you can't check leg kicks as you're moving your head. If volk waits until he eats up that front leg then comes for the kill its gonna be an easy night.
not saying it would have mattered a whole lot, but bryce said he was sick during this fight and debated pulling out... he was already gassed gasping for air beginning of the second and that doesnt happen with bryce...................i wish you would actually do some research on these fights so you dont leave out crucial info... and you said you had never watched this fight before? like what
So basically illia is famous for his jjb but bryce, maybe for once maybe for a short time, but bryce manage at some point to be on illias half guard, now what happens if we give bryce the streng, conditioning, experience and striking from volk?

We need you back you vs pantoja Moreno or moving up to fight merab Sean o malley would be insane
Dude, Ilia changed a lot and fixed all those bugs that you mentioned in the fight against Emmett...
Mighty mouse fight IQ is what makes watching these fights so much more enjoyable , it's like he breaks down lyrics and rhythm to your favorite songs .
I mean he's just saying what he sees on the screen anyone could do that.. has nothing to do with fight iq
Glazing like crazy
So well said

Topuria has such a fan friendly style, powerful, direct, great combinations, and when he’s flowing looks undeniable.
More than Volk when he is flowing?
I mean imo they should have Billed a Spanish card with Ilija vs Rodriguez and the winner takes on Volk. But seeings Volk just dismantled Yair it didnt make much sense.
But Yair has looked insane and flowed as good as anyone. And Volk utterly shook that flow out of him after 2 mins

@@drunkpaulocosta Spanish card? Yair is from mexico and Ilia was born in germany to Georgian parents.🤔🤷♂
@@martijnoerlemans765Coming from a Spanish person he’s been in Spain most of his life he can be considered Spanish lol. But yes Yair is Mexican
zip his pants when you are finished
The way Ilia KOed Jai Herbert was absolutely disgusting
Up a weight class too. Very impressive.
And recovered from a clean head kick
Short notice fight also and Lightweight debut
Herbert is a former CW champion as well. His last KO in CW is so nasty.
He came back from being dropped too
Was actually a cool comeback k.o. , I understand the slang, but that’s such a wrong adjective that seems to take popularity.

Great as always. It is x-axis horizontal line and y-axis as the vertical line.
Yes correct.
Really it can be any way you define it tho right? Traditionally yea, but Mighty Mouse is built different after all
People forget Ilia is a grappler because dude has fallen in love with his hands. He's very well rounded.
Many grapplers fall in love with their hands and get worse at grappling in the process. Let's hope that's not the case here.
Exactly - but dudes love to throw , makes them more marketable and less tiring - so it is what it is. Like Gaethje, dude a D1 wrestler killa who doesnt wrestle one bit. But doesnt mean you can take him down..

The intro is Fire !!!!!! Dj!!!!
Yes He is! .... And now he is the Champion! 🥳
2:34 well you cant expect a fighter to have good math iq too lmao
😭😭😭
they compare topuria with conor, I would compare him with makhachev.
Ilia is going to get as dominant as makachev is.
both Ilia Topuria and islam makachev can only find true competition in the division above theirs.
Makhachev will smoke poirier and tsarukian like topuria will defeat omaley and holloway.
The big difference for me:
the grappling, wrestling and striking of Ilia are even more visually stunning than makhachev's ones.
The only "hole" or "lack" of topuria is kicks.
topuria is going to ko and submit every opponent the ufc puts on his road for a long time to come
💯
DJ can do anything he wants after fighting he's great at break downs , speaking , teaching etc
Bryce does get a front kick early first round! I love these videos they help me out so much for fighting! Thank you mighty
DJ might have the greatest mind in MMA I always learn something from even the simplest breakdowns
Imagine dj training woth volkonovski woukd be a dream

@@thenedsmmachannel8970 well maybe he should, brodie Topuria be putting his head low waaay to much imo
I’m ready to hear what you say about Holloway vs Gaethje. I think everyone is underestimating Max.

@Manuel_Chinaski max is gonna win. If not you can slander me

Mighty mouse, I really like ur videos but can you pick a different background music for ur videos??
damn first time hearing DJ speak in a podcast type of way and if i close my eyes this guy has the voice of a typical youtube content creator
I love these technical analyses by the GOAT, looking forward to see him crash with Volk!!
In algebra, the x axis is horizontal, and y axis is vertical. It's just weird for me to reverse that 😁
We are super hyped for the fight with Volk. Vamos Matador! 🔥🇪🇸
I don’t care how much you love Volk… You cannot say that Ilia doesn’t pose a threat to Volk!!!

Lol the x axis is left to right, y is up and down. You knew that I'm sure but got mixed up.
I just dont see how illia deals with volk's leg kicks, footwork, takedowns or his top pressure.
Illia's offensive/defensive head movement is good but you can't check leg kicks as you're moving your head. If volk waits until he eats up that front leg then comes for the kill its gonna be an easy night.
Good break down bro but I can’t get over you getting the x and y axis wrong 😭
I'm trying to understand what he means by that. It's more like Ilia moving his head like a parabola or pendulum rather than x/y axis head movement.
Since when is y on a horizontal axis and x on a vertical axis?
That bang was mighty🤣🤣🤣
what would it take for topuria to beat volk? and vice versa?
I love you dj. Its x y axis, not access😂
It sucks Dj and the ufc didn’t get along because he would’ve made the best commentator
You flipped the X and Y. X is horizontal Y is vertical
