#UFC #ufc298 - Sport
That left hook to the liver on the leech was brutal
But beautiful 💥
The sound of it jesus
He was done after that
This man generates serious torque in his hips. Reminds me of Tyson's technique.
You can't let him throw, you have smother him with jabs and move.
And that wont simply work because he has excellent head movement and footwork. He will start throwing body shots after the head movement and throw an overhead knockout, otherwise he'll take you down if you get too close. His grappling is even better than his striking lol
That’s what it looks like Volk was trying to do. Ilia just inches up on you though
He has a wrestling background....one punch knock out power...very gud boxing skill... methodical and patience approach....very gud Jiu jistu..very gud defensive skill also very gud chin....i think he is one of most complete fighter..can rule very longtime
honestly if he really wanted to, he could be the first fighter in UFC history to win 3 belt. that's how good this man is
@@hnyleo14yeah but look at Adesanya and Vokanovski, its so hards to became double champion. Mcgregor could be double champ, but had zero title defense, Khabib wouldn't even dare to try become a double champ.
@@hnyleo14i think 3 belt is too much.
@@qorirazzani2298He can easily take the belt from Sean O'Malley and has a good chance against Islam Makhachev
@@qorirazzani2298 "mcgregor could be double champ" Mgregor WAS a double champ ya fool
I love the he submitted Bryce. He had him out cold and decided to manhandle him on the ground too. Just totally mentally dismantled.
Bit gay
@@Sisyphus599how so? The Bryce Mitchell submission was that “I’m gunna beat you at your game” win. That’s when fighters show the upper echelon of championship caliber.
And to be fair, everyone said Islam would walk through Volk the first time and what happened?!
@@Sisyphus599 I don't need to know about your sex life dude.
Bryce was apparently on anti biotics during the fight probably why he was so flat
Bryce had the flu that fight, I think Ilia still beats him healthy though
The close-up uppercut + sprawl + Grecoroman throw vs Mitchell's takedown was one of the sickest moves I've seen in UFC
he has hammers as fists
Ilia “Poatan” Topuria
I think can take advantage of his bad defense though.
@@travisgoesthere volk can take advantage of AMAZING defenses…
@@travisgoestherehis defense is amaIng, did you not see the emmett fight literally two weeks ago?
Literally the last left as Jackson is down is like a sledgehammer to the head lmfao
Anyone remember him and paddy's scuffle? Paddy was scared to fight and is now abusing old fighters and bums while topuria is at the top fighting for gold
Goated comment
I wanted paddy the fatty vs topuria when they were goin at it but paddy was wayy to scared to fight him lol
Patty cake is a chump lol they wanted a clickbait boy
I'm English so I like paddy, but we've all seen that he's very 'hitable, and it's very hard to pretend that paddy(or anyone) could soak up the shots Topuria dishes out? No way.
Just a complete savage man. Freakin beast of a fighter. Really good everywhere. His striking is devestating. Confident, believes in his abilities and utilizes them appropriately.
2 ranked wins
@@Goatbaggiemma 🤔 How many "ranked wins" did Islam Makhachev, Sean O'Malley or Alex Pereira have??? Ranked wins don't mean shit. If Skill is there, skill IS THERE.
Went 5 rounds with an old ass emmett. If he cant knock josh out i really dont think he can knock volk out. I truly think volk will outclass him over the 5
And young!
@@jayluis189 O’Malley had 3 periera had 2 in 7 fights and islam had 6… O’Malley got fast tracked and periera bc the rivalry and all 3 won unlike your boy ilia 14-1 saturday
Some of those finishes are so brutal! That body shot on damon was unreal
Hearing that thudding sound almost hurts psychologically
0:06 the same combo that put out volk🔦
Bisping hyping up Jai right before he got slept was hilarious
And Rogan hyping up Hall and Mitchell while they're being destroyed
Jai is british
to be fair, jai had topuria rocked earlier in that fight- but yeah that shi was golden xD
@@ikarusxv"this is a bad idea, going to the ground with Bryce.." like stfu
I mean, at the time what he was saying was correct.
Topuria is a Monster
Same as Colby
@@markrayanvaldez4136😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@markrayanvaldez4136what do you mean same as colby?
This dude could knock out anyone. That's a lot of scary power.
naw i could take him i reckon
I reckon u would take a nap bro like Jai 😂@@majkati69
Francis Ngannou knoock ilia tofuria
@@majkati69i got you in that matchup tbh
Yooooooo! This kid is for real. Alexander better not sleep on this dude! These will be the two most powerful 145 lbs we've ever seen. Should be epic.
Seems like you’re watching Ilia for the first time?
@@creativeape8994 I am. Very impressed.
Volk was impressed too 😂
@@obustos2.0 Volk is sleeping. Do not wake up
Love this dude. I'm a fan of Bryce Mitchell, I'm a fan of Ryan Halls weird style, but you can't deny how good Ilia is. He is the truth
More than just good. He also is just 27, a time in person's life when everything in the body still works optimally, including the mind. After Saturday night, if things go well, people will finally realize, no matter how good you are, how good Alex has been, if you keep fighting long enough, as Khabib said it, you WILL run across that guy who WILL beat you.
Volks is at the tail end of his prime.
Anyone who says Volks could fight and could dominate for as long as he wants just don't understand OR don't appreciate this extremely physically and mentally taxing sport, where hits and misses are in microseconds & by millimeters... This is a sport where youth, agility, and optimal athleticism will almost always triumph against experience, if both guys are more or less equally good in their craft...
And that is why up to this point, no one over 35 has been able to win the belt, or to retain it, against an elite, prime opponent, from the 145 to the 125 divisions. From 170 to 125, for men (the more refined circuit), only 2-3 guys 35 or over.... in 32 - 33 fights..... have been able to win the belt, or to retain it, in championship fights.
@@kiabtoomlauj6249even crazier, the only guy who was 35 or older was Woodley, who did it twice and then immediately went on an insane losing streak to even further you point
Lmao. His only good win is against josh emmett and u think that deserves a title shot? NOPE
who has he beat besides cans and one dimensional middle of the road fighters? Volk will dismantle him.
The truth? What does that shit even mean?
I love Bisping glazing for UK fighter just before he get ko'ed out 🤣
that body shot froze herbert then lights out
He goes for that liver shot a lot, then follows up with that devastating right hook. Very nice striking, put Herbert in ragdoll physics mode
@dude9038 yup basically
@@Fony_turgeson yup
I like the way he celebrates his victories. Calm n confident. Perfect fighter n great person.
I didn't know that Topuria's profession was an electrician. the guy is switching off lights here and there lol
😂👍
Lmao😂😂
A lot of people are overlooking Topuria, he is the real deal!
I'm surprised how many people are ignoring his obvious skullset and fact Volk is coming down in weight after two defeats, one of which was a savage ko barely 12 weeks ago.
Hope Volk pulls through, but Topuria seems to have all the momentum.
😂
@@emg00 i said it aahhahahah!
it's always a good thing to see that you don't do the extra hit when the opponent's already sleeping
Scariest because he has arguably the best toes in the division. No pedicure needed. Toenails to skin ratio 60/40 which is ideal. Nice bridges. Opaque soles. Complimentary toe hair. Skin color meshes well around the ankles.
😂
Haha man you basically said exactly what I was gonna say, what are the odds!
lmao
What the hell 😂😂😂
Who has the best toes pound for pound?
Volk better not underestimate Topuria.
He should really focus on Surviving UFC 298 instead of thinking about UFC 300
When has volk ever underestimated anyone he has defended his belt like a true goat already
Volk never does
rematch VOLK VS TOPURIA 2 ufc 300 😂😂😂
@@ZeoZakkeruga44 Makachev 2. 11 days is crazy.
No worries coach.
After the Bryce n Emmett fights he made a believer out of me.. dude is legit. I have him beating Volk just because the trajectories theyre both on right now.
Same!! His Head movement is and punching are pro boxer level dude and his grappling is solid
What trajectory would you say Volk is on then? Before his last outing he looked unbeatable against a stylistically very dangerous opponent, whilst Topuria looked like a great boxer against someone who spams overhands.
For sure, he doesnt get the respect he deserves, most question the quality of fighters hes faced in the UFC FW , yet if you look at their combined UFC record before meeting him it was of 23W 1D 3L. And he has finished them all with crazyl superiority, he has yet to lose a single round in the division.
@@TheKronicspider Ilia looks like a future champ for sure, but if you compare his resume to that of Volk, there is a big difference. And it's one thing to look good versus good opponents, but it's an entirely different thing to do it against one of the greatest of all time.
@@marijnvandenbroek4729 I dont know who’s going to win I see volk being surprised with ilia it seems he’s getting better every fight man… he submitted Bryce Mitchell and out struck josh emmet who is dangerous… idk I see ilia and I see the skill is there and he is also well rounded but volk is so good to only thing is he’s coming of a ko loss and usually you need more time to recover off a loss like that
Rogan glazing Hall just before getting sparked is the funniest thing ever 😂
So smooth everywhere, it's wild.
I told you this young man was the truth years ago.
Everyone is laying without life, that is power
I bet paddy regrets talking smack to him.
Can’t wait for this fight! UFC in Spain baby! Team Topuria here! 😛🔥🔥🔥
So much power in his punches, just wow.
WHERES THE COMMENTS ON VOLK DESTROYING TOPURIA? ALL GONE?
Volk destroyed topuria, what you saw was a deepfake
@@Loquacious_Jacksonhahahaha
Exactly Topuria is the next big thing
Remember, the UFC had us believe Ronda Rousy could beat men. But when it comes to Ilia i think hes the next Conor. The UFC didn't even show the beat down he put on Josh Emmett.
The power... Oh my goodness...
This is one bad dude
His patience is what made me a huge fan. I knew he would be the champ. I should’ve bet on it 😂
The guy is a killer straight up I hope that Volk don't underestimate him
nah you hope he doesnt underestimate volk.
@@vRebelxX well, we ready know that happened😉
@@marionovoa313he didn’t underestimate him but got beat fair and square
Topuria is the UFC champ already.
This guy killing me softly ❤😂❤
This guy is a serious champ. His ground work is 🔥
'Pays dividends' is a phrase the best booth boys keep slipping in 😂
that hall finish was satisfying af. this is what happens if you think pure bjj is fighting
As much as I like hall, this was absolutely needed.
@@karanvarma4843 i don't know what is going on in their mind when as soon as the fight starts they lay on their back. even if you somehow manage to submit or win it with this style you can't call that fighting. they should try that bs in the streets.
Hasn't Hall been KO'd a few times doing that stuff?
@@dg1431 he has but not as brutal as this
Hall was injured to be fair
You can't really tell how good he is because he hasn't fought Volk. He looks scary ASF but so did Yair.
@@myjapanpov I thought it was a scary fight for Volk. I mean those kicks of Yairs were just killing people. Volk had a plan and mauled him.
Yair is a bum and a horrible technical striker. Just throws crazy strikes from everywhere hoping one of them would land
@@in33d2floss7 he was ranked second. Obviously a bum.
First part is true, but Yair has that lanky build that Volk was able to crush up close and I also didn't think he'd stand a chance. Yair also had lost before. Maybe not quite to the extent of Volk, but Ilia is also built like a tank.
Now we know I guess.
Gonna be a banger.
The body shots on the first 2 ko's were sick. The kid is definitely a power puncher.
The majority of ufc fans are rooting for Alexander volkanovski to win and he can win . He is the greatest featherweight champion of all time and may be Jose oldo is in the question of who is the the goat of FW. but they can't deny ilia taporia's talent and the skills he has .this guys is straight killer, he is a good boxer , he is patience , he is also well rounded fighter .and he brings banger in every fight he had . brings I think illia wins this match by finish .
Agreed. Love Volk, but he's snatching at fights since the first Makhachev loss, and doesn't seem so dialled-in. Whereas Topuria is primed.
Hope we're wrong.
@@surfguy87 what you guys think about ilia knocking out volk?
Straight killer in control 🔥🔥🔥
Ilia is unpredictable with his boxing. I feel just like the calf kick, fighters will be willing to incorporate this side of the game into their skillset which is the 4-6 piece combos. I haven’t seen any fighter, at least recently, who can skillfully pull off a 6-piece combo with such power. Chapeau!
That right hook on the chin is something else. Same exact punch that knocked out Volk
That's an entire combo. He goes for the liver then sets up with his right again for the chin. It's beautiful
The best of the best, phenomenal fighter 🤴🤴👑👑👑
The best boxer in the UFC fr!!!
Great fighter. You can tell that he Admires Conor McGregor. he has Conor McGregor very first tattoo on his back. That was the only tattoo that Conor McGregor had when he first came into UFC when he defeated Marcus brimage
Bro he makes pro fighters look like They cant fight just absolute destruction bro is the next mike tyson
He is scary because alot of guys on the roster have really poor striking and will resort of panic wrestling. Topuria forces them to stand with him and pummels them with his superior striking!
ufc298 배당률을 보면 토푸리아가 얼마나 강한 파이터인지 알 수 있습니다.
이때까지 볼카한테 이런 배당률은 없었습니다
este tio va a marcar una era
This guy flew under my radar. Him beating the breaks off of Volk made me notice quick!
Damn... That kid RIPS to the body....
That right hand has a hint of death in it man, holyyy, knew this man could become champ, but dam against Volk tho 😢
He's so skilled and very hard to beat. I've never seen a complete fighter since Aldo. I like Topuria but i'm gonna have to go with Max when they fight.
Dude was the angriest person at the presser but was also the only one talking mad shit haha hes in his own head
That body shot leading to a hook to the jaw is brutal 😭😭
he's right behind josh emmett with the most power at 145😮
I’d never bet against volk at this point but Ilia does have some wild talent and his so strong. Hope volk keeps the belt but I think we’ll get an exciting fight and that Ilia will probably hold the belt someday
😂 this comment didn't age well
@@Shauntg Why? I said I wouldn’t bet against volk which given his reign was sensible, but I also acknowledged that Ilia is very talented and strong. I said I hoped Volk would win but that we’d get an exciting fight which we did, and Ilia does in fact now hold the belt. What exactly didn’t age well? MMA fans love to talk shit after they know the outcome of something. That’s called hindsight and it doesn’t make you special, just a twat with too much time on their hands.
@@jordanterry6248 no hate still love Volk no matter that out come .I think I rematch is on the cards but for now I think volk must relax for now. He still can produce the goods
Vamos Matador !!! 🔥 con todo!!
And people think Yair or Ortega or max can beat this guy? That’s nuts.
ILIA TOPURIA still improving, you are going to be surprised, my guys
Saludos desde España
Now the champ 👑👑
He’s too dominant 💪🏽
Toparia reminds me of Mike Tyson.
It reminds me of The Punisher on Netflix, especially in the fight against Herbert
where’s the “Roman Kopylov: top knockouts” video?
who?
@@TheRealNumberSevenyou'll know soon
Maybe when he's fighting for a title, obviously...
Topuria has the potential to become the most entertaining Champ if he beats Volk.
Ilia has that killer instinct, always looking for a finish. Pure entertainment
What the hell is that face
Gotta admit he has some power for 145
Is the first time in the UFC that Topuria has an opponent who is shorter, until now he had only fought with taller guys. I think that with Volkanovski he won't be able to use his technique in the same way. We'll see if he choose to fight or box!
He's really good but I don't think Volk is out his prime just yet, then again, it wouldn't surprise me if Islam shortened his career with that headkick.
This is going to be a good fight
Vamos Ilia 🇪🇦
Man those hooks and uppercuts put everyone lights out but volk gonna put pressure on him
i can't wait to see the new ! featherweight champion 🏆
My only concern about him is the level of competition. Massive jump from the guys he has fought. He didn’t get the usual run through with Max, Ortega El pantera etc. so it’s hard to tell how he will match up. Should be a good fight.
He's such an angry little ball of nerves, I love it. His entire personality is basically "stop fucking playing with me."
Because he is Georgian!!!
Also spanish
True, they're hideous
Wow I feel bad for him then he probably hates being from there so he claims to be from Spain now
@whiskeywarlord9425 He lives in Alicante. Everything in his life is at Spain
@@pichagrandeconpastaHe's obviously referring to his ethnicity, not where he lives
this is going to be two bulls smashing their heads, one of the best cards in a long time imo
lets hope everything goes well. were in for a treat.
@@youtube-nutzer2895 huh?
Lets go ilia 🇬🇪🇬🇪
ილია არის შერეული ორთაბრძოლების ევოლუციური პროდუქტი. ის არის ახალი თაობა და მომავალი . ❤❤❤
In the featherweight division, nothing could be scarier than a knockout in the Emmett vs Mitchell fight
Man all these Caucuses guys are no joke
HE IS GOING TO BE THE NEW CHAMPION SAVE MY WORDS
Такиест
BEAST 😮
🇪🇦🇪🇦Vamos iliaaa🇪🇦🇪🇦
Two or three title defenses and then a title match against Islam... with the takedown defense of Ilia, his patience and fight IQ, and his KO power... he definetly could do it, Islam was KOed before.
Ayo he hits way harder than Conor at 45 Conor was tko’ ig everyone but people literally dont even move after being ko’d by illa
In a 2 seconds he destroys your liver and then disconnects your brain
Poor Mr Hall. Threw that slo mo spin and ended up on his back looking like he had frog legs and was remembering pizza Wednesday in 5th grade.
Seeing a theme here left hook body shot overhand right ko
Topuria's small shoulder frame, makes him such a strong in-fighter. He has really high guard as well. I feel like Topuria would do less well against kickers and wrestlers though
A bit like Mike Tyson, with the small shoulder frame
He has a strong wrestling background though (he was a wrestler before a boxer).
Well.. he is who he said he was. Damn! Knocked him out 😮
Would of loved to see Jose Aldo vs Topuria. Too bad Aldo retired.
Why do people want to see 35 year old retired fighter facing 27 old killer?
Scariest fighter after becoming the champion, nice title UFC
Dagistani are taking over the UFC with this guy as well.
Those hands 🔥🔥🔥🔥
