#UFC #UFC298 - Sport
It’s official, every single champion from mid 2022 has lost their belt. Most turning 35-36…father time is undefeated.
Because none are truly generational fighters
Ilia is a father too
ਪਿਆਰ ਭਰੀ ਸੀਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਭੰਦਲ ਵੀਰ।
@@JollyCanadian UFC has changed a lot too, don't forget that
So is ilia 15-0
"It doesn't matter where you come from if you know where you're going." Now that’s a tough quote 👊🏻
Respect. Never seen a guy so confident and sure of himself gping into a fight. And he delivered as promised.

Eh… Conor Ko’n Aldo was definitely luck.
it's the best fighters in the world, Yes you can get lucky with a ko, it only takes 1 mistake
@@tothetop2498 can't say about it but this Volk KO was definitely not KO

Congratulations Illia, we love you from Nigeria.
I am an Australian...and I love VOLKowever....WE ALL HAVE AN AWESOME NEW CHAMP RIGHT HERE.
What a MAN. Loved that he went over and was sincere and respectful and hugged,even kissed Volkanovski. Mutual RESPECT>> EL MATADOR,,,,congrats!
Damn even Volks own people instantly turning their backs on him 😂😂😂

Respect to good fans. Love from Barcelona. Volk was a superb champ!!

Won't last much

Didnt even use his wrestling

Congratulations Topuria talked all the crap and backed it up. Great performance.
UFC is dead and rigged
Who deleted my comment 😤
I hate the volk fanboys so much this is beautiful to me 🤣🤣
@@slaktheking69 I know man. I like Volk a lot, but there's just a great satisfaction every time the MMA community at large gets reminded that they know NOTHING. This is MMA, nothing is guaranteed and people spoke like it was a fact that Volk was gonna "teach Ilia a lesson"
@@slaktheking69ikr bro.. they talked smack about ilia now they are the real casual 😂
Love bros speech..! He sat there and told people “ it’s not where you’re from, as long you know where you’re going “ those from Spain 🇪🇸 have extremely strong mindsets.
He’s not from spain. He represents spain too, because he lives there. He moved when he was 16
15* He arrived in Spain when he was 15, he has been there for half his life. He studied and started training MMA in Spain, has Spanish children and wife, has a Spanish accent native to Spain, likes Spanish customs and feels more Spanish than others who were born in Spain.@@ZviadiZviadauriVelox
He is Spanish, so yes he represent our country Bro , go to sell limonede or some cookies boy, this is it, Ilia "El matador" the f*ckng champion so 🤫
@He represents both Georgia and Spain to be precise. His blood is Georgian and his family heritage is Georgian but he is evidently a well integrated Alicantino.
His dna and blood has nothing to do with Spain,people from Spain can't fight.
and the SCARIEST THING is that HE IS AN ELITE GRAPPLER
Illia called it now all of a sudden everyone is a Illia Topuria fan😂
I knew the dude would beat volk, too powerful and skillful everywhere
For real. But the real ones knew
Same they did with Sean...Slowly they will find the next bandwagon to jump on😅
I was there live cheering for topuria and when he won I lost my shit and the ppl next to me got up and walked away all angry
I got receipts 🧾 been counting on bro all the way
From #1 in the world to 2 ko losses in a row. It's crazy how fast the top dawgs in MMA drop
In less than a year
@@ad-dk3md Less than half a year
@@slattino4so the he really shouldn’t of rushed coming back this soon after his ko loss to islam
Well ya everyonr said that even his own peers said take a FULL year he did 3 months ..@@Idk.949
@@Idk.949so your admitting that they did this exact same thing to Izzy then? Legit gassed him out and kept sending in more if he got a break there wouldn't of been no Sean/dricus
Topuria walked in that ring knowing he already was the new champion. That was a solid performance never broke composure.
Ilia made me think, made me believe that believing in yourself, even in any work you do, is very important in life
A star is born. Spectacular KO.
How dare you mention Ilia in the same light as Judy. Clean out your mouth.
It’s really not that shocking that this happened
Even worse than the Islam one that was one and done.
got Luckkkyyy 😡
@@kamfisher1714tell that to Conor fans who falsely accused ilia of copying Conor which he wasn’t. ilia was just being himself which is confidence
I don’t get the hate for illia he did what he said he would do period
he got Luckkkyyy tho 😢
lol I doubt there would be much hate after this result. Before he fight he sounded delusional. lol Now looking back I guess he was just confident.
Yeah he was arrogant in the lead up, but he backed up what he said, he KO'd Featherweight Volk, its an unreal achievement
they are still hurt for Volk :(
Not everyone is ready for the end of an era I guess, especially when it comes from a confident fighter. Almost Like Conor and Aldo to me 👀
Everyone thought he was delusional and or too cocky but he just showed why having the ultimate self belief is crucial in achieving your goals . Much respect for the new King and AMAZING performance long may he reign 👏🏾🏆❤️
He was cocky. He just happened to win.
Loved his interview, he fully believes what he was gonna do and did it. The spirit of a true champion
As an Australian I am truly devastated but I have to respect the slick boxing of Ilia Topuria. You look damn good. Congratulations
As a Georgian, respect man💪
respect from Georgia, To you and to all Aussie fans...
HIs grappling is even better, everyone around him says it. He started as a wrestler greco-roman 💀
And he is a great grappler and wrestler too. Volk is a complete MMA guy and well rounded, but he faced one also well rounded but with KO power too.
@@lekona389 appreciate you brother!
As a Volk fan illia proved me wrong and I ate my words it sucks seeing Volk go out like that for the second time but man illia is young and hungry and has vicious hands (Respect to you illia as the new champ 💪) respect lad
Glad you took like a champ. Ilia is the real deal. Volk is the goat though 😊
No excuses about short notice now. Instead of admitting his striking mistake they all talk about short notice as if 1st fight Makhachev didn't outstrike Volk, and Makhachev is mainly a grappler.
Definitely man. Dudes 27 and just took out the #1 or 2 FW GOAT. Hopefully Illia replicates a career because it will suck to know Volk lost to a quick and over champ.
Damn…. Volk (35) takes the Islam fight on a 10 day notice, gets knocked out, then takes on ripe Illia 4 months after. Wasn’t a good move health wise despite the respect he gained
Ilia "the notorious" mcgregor
@@claudemakelele2856 yep can't wait to see what the future has in store for the young lad illia as for Volk he should rest up and take some time off with his family he needs it and deserves it.
During Covid I watched ilia on the pre-lims and knew he was different. Crazy to think how time flies
Remember this guy
He has a wrestling background
Illia Topuria made the crowd silent..Pure Talent. CREDIT WERE DUE
Unpredictability is why we love this sport. Thanks for the memorable run, Volk. Now, it's up to you to defend that belt with all you got, Ilia. Impressive achievement. Waiting for that documentary, now.
Not unpredictable at all it Was to obvius that topuria is gonna put him to slepp
Rogan would have dodged that
@@victormartt7318 that's what I'm saying. Nobody is the same after they get KO. Volks lucky he was fighting the old guard. Topuira the new wave.
Nah I and plenty of others predicted this
He lost the distance twice, i expected him ko the first time.
As sad as I am rn, im super amazed by Topuria. Fucking talent, you can see the hunger in his eyes man, he was waiting to explode!!!!!
That 'look at me now' gave me Leon Edwards flash back well played lad💪
As an aussie just wanna say Congratulations to topuria,spain and georgia.and volk we will always love and support him 👏
And Germany 🇩🇪😂
@@Uwek.5775 Hahaha🤣yeah, Germany is cool, but Ilia represents two countries - Georgia and Spain🤗
@@Uwek.5775 He's not holding the German flag lol
Big respect from Georgia to Volk 🙏🇬🇪🇦🇺
Big respect from Spain to Volk. Enhorabuena Ilia!!! Vamos ostiaaaa!!!
This is the man Paddy called water boy. 👊🏽 good stuff, Topuria
It's not only the win, It's how the win has been done. You doesn't need the grappling, you doesn't need any specual Kick. You are a great champ. Congratulations.
This is a vicious unforgiving sport , Ilias initial reaction to KOing Volk was pretty wholesome , so much relief and shock as if finally he did it and he did. Epic.
Dude so brutal. Was rooting for Ilia all the way but on a human level that just hurt.
He fuckin' murdered him.
@@CoolGuyMcGruffpower is the great equalizer.
You were rooting for Volk keep it real😂
@@pravakartamang4642 Volk has great power. Illia just has better combos. He's just BETTER.
@@CoolGuyMcGruff I don't think it's comparable between the two. Yeah volk has stopped people before but ilia has that kill a MF with one punch power.
There is a clear difference between a strong guy that comes in there with the INTENTION of finishing a fight, and a strong guy like Costa who maybe HOPES to finish a fight. Topuria is not waiting for the opportunity to happen, he creates it.
!!!
Dude is mad dangerous at close range, trading with him seem similar to trying to stand and trade with pereira, he just puts people to sleep
That's the thing, Costa used to be way more aggressive before that izzy fight. He doesn't even fight the same anymore it sucks
I agree, the only wrong prediction i made was Costa, it looked that Costa wanted it pre-fight, sadly he lets me down yet again. Even almost Neal proved me wrong but dude decided most of the fight to have slow walks in the park instead of pressuring that runner to cage and cutting off corners. Sad
Costa is 10 years older, he is at the end of career, seems to have no motivation. Topuria got everything, there is a world of difference.
Congratulations, the first Spanish who become ufc champion. He made a dream come true🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Sorry bro you have to share it with Georgia 😅😅
@@muhdizaiyeah… Georgia. You mean the place where he and his family run away when he was a kid because it’s just a shitty countrie to live in?
He trained in Spain, he lives in Spain and we love him for that.
@@OVERSPEED i dont mean nothing bad about Georgia or another country. I am excited with Ilia, he often and all time talks only about Spain.Example that he wants to fight in Santiago Bernabeu or he want to be the first Spanish ufc champion. Thats all.
@@muhdizai why?
@@OVERSPEED0
Congratulations bro..I'm a big Fan of you from today onwards ❤love you brother ❤ from india
Someone tell Costa to wake up Volk again.
😂
Funny asf 😂
That's a fucking good one
Beat me to it 😂
😂😂
Theres just something about that Featherweight belt! Always won in a special way & always vs a legend. Hats off to Ilia
Early stoppage
Where is herb dean
Max vs volk was pretty uneventful
Topuria will sleep Islam Makhachev.
@@Justice10927😂😂 shut up
Ilia is a men ! just amazing fighter ! ❤️
You made Georgia proud! 🇬🇪🇬🇪👑
I understand why the hate towards Topuria, most people see a confident MF like him and envy that. Topuria called it and delivered 💪🏼
I really dont get the hate for topuria , same with alex idk why they like him so much ,, he has no charisma or anything special
is ilia charismatic in your book? Not saying Vulk is or isn't lol just wondering if ilia hits that marker for you@@sn-oh1db
@@jabrone.destoroyah
He is calling Connor for exposure, it's pretty obvious. However, he is ready to defend his title against new challengers.
Yair, Max or Ortega are out of question. This time only Movsar and Rematch makes the most sense. But the problem is that Movsar has 0 finish out of his 8 fights and Volk will need at least 6 month if not more to recover from this. Therefore, in the meantime, he can fight Connor for exposure and money. He is gonna be the next big thing, superstart of ufc soon if he fights Connor in Spain.
Topuria is a gigachad he gives no fucks and gets the job done
Weak people hate confidence, ego, self believe because they see something they cant do/ achieve.
El abrazo de Topuria con Volkanovski,sin rencores,sabiendo perder y ganar por ambas partes,deja claro que son dos fenómenos.
TREMENDO , lo he visto 6 veces seguidas, es hermoso
Demonios su ego creció más jajaja
@@eduansrdochavez1894 ¿Y cuál es el problema?
siempre lo ha respetado a volk. Los que se piensan que le falta el respeto de verdad habeis empezado a ver la ufc hace 2 meses. El tiene que vender la pelea por eso todo lo que dice pero siempre ha sido humilde y ha respetado a sus rivales
Why are you a Fan? Illia is Georgien and grew up in germany. He moved to spain when he was basically grown up. He just wants the fanbase. I mean you have more morocon arab dna than illia has spanish dna dont forget 😅
Felicidades Ilia ❤España contigo siempre 🇪🇦❤️🇬🇪
This is the guy now. It’s like he knew. Life is amazing.
Ilia congrads from Georgia🇬🇪❤
Wait what about spain😅
Español en Batumi! Viva Georgia!
Viva España y Viva Georgia
Ilia is so calm and calculated
I love decisive victories like this and never leaving any doubts in the judges scorecards
Ever since he said trust and believe in yourself I started doing so on my goals. Toupira's speech definitely inspired me to keep going.
Please, Volk, take a long break like Saint-Pierre and come back stronger for one last fight, or stop, BUT don't do like Ferguson! 😢😭😤😤😤
💯 % agree volk could retire and be more than happy what he’s accomplished in this sport
Volk will want the rematch no doubt. It will eat him alive until he gets another crack at redemption.
That’s what I’m afraid, please don’t end up like Ferguson 😭
He's literally on one loss in his division In years he's fine
2 ko losses back to back, not good. @@mattdrifts
As soon as I saw Mark Zuckerberg walking out I knew the over 35 curse was not going to be broken
It’s really not that shocking that this happened. Illia is that dude.
What happened when volk smashed yair? Why didn't u mention it then
@@kamfisher1714you don't know what you want. Joe's probably doing a good job as well.
35 curse only applies to the smaller weight classes cause lets not forget Anderson Silva was 37 when he was going down.
Made me happy volk lost lol
Ilia is the best featherweight of all time
Enhorabuena a mi bro, él lo sabía, nosotros lo sabíamos. Desde Alicante te queremos❤
Young hungry fighter dethrones old aging king…tale old as time
Ilia could beat any younger version of volka too ;)
Good effort to shape the narrative, volk wipes the floor w anyone else in the division, ilia is just that good
@@ibrahimtall6209he doesn't wipe the floor with anybody. After that Islam k.o he was finished
You just said it. Tale old as time.
“Volks gonna humbled him” 🤓
History does repeat itself. Sad day for Volk congrats to Ilia on a spectacular win.
Ilya shocking win got our jaws dropped
We love a man who keeps his word and advocates positivity!!!🌹❤️
I always knew Ilia would knock out Volk because Ilia is good at closing the distance and fight inside the pocket while Volk keeps his distance and circles around we all seen it when Ilia fought Herbert who is heavier and taller than Volk you DON’T want to circle around or back away when your fighting someone who knows how to cut off the cage and has power
he really should have wrestled
Very well said
You could see it as well in the first fight of volk against Islam, got caught especially in the pocket
@@mesa577Ilia is a fantastic grappler. He can submit Volk for sure lol. You’re really underestimating what Ilia can do. He’s extremely well rounded, as much as I hate to say it Volk’s time is over
@@aangthelaststylebender4795
People probably don’t know that Topuria is a bjj champ 😅
@@aangthelaststylebender4795bro volk trains with Craig Jones. Unless matador is out there training with Gordon Ryan secretly he's not submitting Volk unless significant strikes are landed first.
Called his finish against the best gotta respect it
Against the best? Vulka? 😂😂😂
If you know you know respect
Watching your heroes fall to Father Time is the worst feeling… love you Volk
All along you could see that Ilia really has immense respect for Volk. He just had to play the part in the build up.
*Saw this KO coming from a mile away. Same punch that slept Jai Herbert. This mf is dangerous in the pocket. One punch KO power and super clean boxing. Tight hooks and very accurate. Volk was on the backfoot with his chin up in the air yet again. Hell yea Ilia! That was badass.*
No one cares. Feed him to Max
@@DarkCloudNCMax needs to survive Gaethje, then we could talk about a title shot.
Why does your text look different
So crazy. Cejudo’s chin was up in the air his entire fight too. Volk used to have a pretty tight guard back in the days when he fought Mendes. But I guess I see your point. When he comes forward and applies pressure, good high guard with a great relentless pace. When he is backing up, okay footwork with a exposed chin. Good catch
@@ReefSideMMA *What do you mean bro*
Dude, every time the media start saying stuff like "this champ is the GOAT of x division" it always goes sideways. Same shit happened when they started comparing Izzy to Anderson and Kamaru to GSP. Just goes to show how hard it is to stay at the top for as long as some of the older champs have (Aldo, GSP, Anderson, etc.). Recency bias is a very real thing and invincibility is just an illusion. Every dominant champ's reign comes to an end eventually. I'm still in a bit of disbelief at how quick and abruptly that one ended.
Alexander Volkanovski's resume is way better than Jose Aldo's though.
@@GrubKiller436 Aldo fought in a completely different era. You can't compare the resumes of the past contenders with modern contenders. That's just not fair.
@@GrubKiller436 100%. Just like Kamaru's resume is better than Gsp's. The fighters in this era are much more competitive.
@@kenmoraes6843 really? Colby over hughes? Fking masvidal over Bj penn? Get real
Volk was neeeeeever near the Featherweight Goat 😂😂😂😂 5 title defenses with the biggest title fight robbery ever
Muchas felicidades Toupuria, España entera estaba contigo.
I honestly doubted that this guy would get it done. So respect and props to all the people here who supported him.
Anyone who had watched Ilia should have seen his abilities and knew he had a great chance of doing this. He has shown diversity, a good chin and sound defense, as well as vicious ko power. He has shown the ability to adapt and make adjustments in fights and can finish anyone at anytime in the blink of an eye.
Big fan of him, if you saw his earlier UFC fights you know what he’s capable of. But Volk is my guy, was rooting for him 100% and I was so afraid this would happen. People talk about Topuria’s power, but that’s not the main thing, it’s the way he cuts off the octagon and traps you by the cage, the he goes for the KO. Damn, honestly didn’t think he’d do Volk like that…😮
yep. At least his previous fight. He's a beast.
Yea, people still, even after this fight, don't know what he's truly capable of. Many don't even know, that his main specializations was BJJ until couple of years ago he decided to mainly box. And he reads his opponents mid fight, adjusting his game accordingly. Tbh, i still don't know what his weakness is. Guess we'll find that out eventually, but today was not that day.
All these people doubting him are casual fans. They don’t know how much of a monster this dude is. Not to mention how early he was wrestling and how he’s a BJJ guy. Dudes striking is so clean, people don’t know how flawless in every aspect this man is
Hence the fucking betting odds 💀
I love how everyone and they momma still calls out Connor. From featherweight to welterweight
He’s the main character of this game lol
“Look at me now!” Ilia Rocky Edwards
I didn't think he could win, but that's why MMA rocks ❤ Congratulations to our new champ!
Congratulations topuira ..what a confidense man...
Entiendo que la gente que no fuese de España le costase creer en este chico. Hoy se ha demostrado que es un animal distinto, un elegido para practicar este deporte en toda su extensión.
Topuria es un georgiano, nacido en Alemania,luchando bajo la bandera Alemana y por dinero(o mucha dinero) hoy dicen que es un español .Mañana ya veremos.
Man of his word! i can not wait to see this mans legacy unfold
Georgian people love and respect Volk! Ilia made us proud today. Congratulations.
A new superstar is born ! Let's go ilia
Damn.. that left me speechless like the Masvidal Askren KO
It’s really not that shocking that this happened
I think this was so much scary because Masdival's KO was for one time but ilia constantly knocking out people like this style
I gave Volkanovski zero chance against Topuria, but damn. I didn't expect it to end so soon and with a ice cold knockout to boot. Well, that settles it. The new era of champions has arrived.
It's more important what's in front of you than what's behind you. You're going to be a great champion Ilia.
“Ilia will get humbled”😂
😂😂😂

“Keep dreaming buddy keep dreaming”
@@TobyMcguarro you think he won't ? Dude just became champ he will lose eventually. He has to pass volk and max and aldos title defences. He's literally done nothing yet so calm down newb.
@@Durendail there is a difference between losing and being humbled, every one loses at some point, you just come off bitter

@@ShallowballowEnglish ain't his first language
@@like2jo4796Nor the second.
Less charisma than Conor but more skilled

Topuria is the definition of a silent killer in there he so lethal with his combos 🔥🔥
We all need to believe in ourselves, whatever the other person says doesn't matter. Good men, great fighters, congratulations Illia and the best wishes to both fighters.
ILIA IS AN UNDEFEATED CHAMPION ALONGSIDE GREATS LIKE KHABIB(2018) AND ADESANYA(2019)! VAMOS ILIA !
All the other featherweights are shaking rn. Max and Yair would've got murdered by Ilia. I don't see anyone in FW stopping Ilia anytime soon.
Illia and max is interesting
Hope max could do something after the fight with gaethje
Max will be at Iilia dude, his cardio will carry the way & Max wants that title BAD. A title hungry Hallow would be bad for business but since he's fighting Topuria it'll go the distance with a Holloway win
Diego Lopes next year
It not like volk got outclass in every way the fight was very even ..Illia is not goat.
Me encantó ver cómo al final después de todas las puyas que se tiraron se acercó a consolar a Volka, amo las muestras de deportividad
God Bless You Topuria 🫡
Congratulations 👏👏
I hope ilia is as successful as volk and also as active as volk was. I love both of them as a fighter and watching volk get defeated just hits different but such is life, Congratulations Ilia

It is 50:50
Only casual noobs were sleeping on Illia.
Knowledgeable MMA fans knew this was a 50:50 fight because Illia is dangerous
Islam cracked that hard shell of Volk, Topuria shatters it completely for the finish. That's it, Volk is done.
It would not have mattered, once Ilia lands it's over.
Just because he lost to the future GOAT, doesn’t mean he’s done
Let's how he fares against islam
I think would have gotten KO’d too even if he took time off.
Topuria has fucking power.
Excuses 😂😂😂
Muchos dudaban de sus palabras, demostró que no son palabras vacías, gran trabajo y preparación. Enhorabuena Campeón 🎉🎉
