Ilia Topuria (Georgian: ილია თოფურია) (born January 21, 1997) is a Georgian and Spanish professional mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Lightweight and Featherweight divisions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of June 27, 2023, he is #5 in the UFC featherweight rankings
Topuria was born in Halle Westfalen, Germany to Georgian parents. At the age of seven he moved to Georgia with his family where he started practicing Greco-Roman Wrestling at school. At the age of 15 he moved to live in Alicante in Spain, where he started practicing martial arts at the Climent Club. In 2015, he made his debut as a professional in local competitions.
After starting his career with 4 straight submission wins on the Spanish regional scene and winning a belt in Mix Fight Events promotion. In 2018 he made his first international fight in Cage MMA Finland. In the same year, in May, he became the first Georgian black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu alongside his brother Alex Topuria. Months later he received the opportunity to fight for the Cage Warriors Bantamweight Championship at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium. Ilia failed to make the agreed weight so despite winning the fight quickly, he did not get the belt.
In 2019 he signed with Brave Combat Federation. Ilia made his debut in the promotion in Bogota, Colombia, defeating opponent Luis Gomez in the first round by submission; which leads him to get the award for best performance of the night. On November 15, 2019, in Bahrain, he won his second fight in BRAVE by defeating Steven Goncalves by KO in the first round. - Спорт
"Slow is the fastest way to get what you want". I'm starting to become a fan of this guy.
Me too bro , me too
When I first saw Ilia’s crisp combos and fight iq I knew it was only a matter of time before he was a title contender. Definitely a true mixed martial artist in its most pure form.
Pimblet is a braggart and a showman, I think he has too much influence or admiration for Mc Gregor, but there is 1 Mc Gregor and that attitude worked well for him in the UFC because he responded with victories, but Pimblet is far from being Mc Gregor's shadow. Gregor and that attitude he has does not serve or help when the results do not come later... he thought he was better than Topuria, but time puts everyone where they deserve. Sooner or later Topuria will be champion and maybe not now, but with his evolving attitude, ambition and desire he will undoubtedly be one.
This man is vicious. 😂
i loved when he beat ryan hall. rogan had been fangirling over this bjj “wizard” and for ilia to completely nullify him was so satisfying
Same. The way he sent that jujitsu nerd to the shadow realm was glorious
Oh yea that dude who only knows the one technique and spammed it countless times glad he’s gone and forgotten
Ilias BJJ is next Level
lol @ fangirling lolol. a guy cant just like a guys style lol?
He can like a guys style for sure. The thing is JR was hyping him up as if he was the next GSP or some shit. Ryan Hall has top tier jiu jitsu and that's about it
The Bryce Mitchell part so lit. This video's pure af.
So hard
Gay*
@@scottieap6412all of the above
The world is flat, we live in a firmament.
Not gonna lie, that shit was actually hard. I was ready to laugh, but was surprised 😂
As a Spaniard, love the flamenco touch in your video man! I'm sitting in a field of olive trees right now watching this
A mí como Español me gustaría escribir en inglés como tú 😂😂
Two in one week?! What did we do to deserve this?!
Seriously... with this level of editing too. I am so impressed.
Universe loves us 🌌💖
Incredible to have you back making these documentary's for us, they are not just highlights. A lot of work obviously goes into this, and you are the man who creates it. Thank you.
as a Georgian Ilia is a big inspiration for me, he worked hard and got what he wanted. Great video, we'll see how it ends up with Volk
Lets goooo, my favorite ufc fighter right now, just goes forward and is excelent at boxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling and has explosive hands, volk has a handfull with "El Matador"
@HellBlazerMNE07maybe his bjj is not elite, but his wrestling is high level, anyone who knows a bit of wrestling can see it
@HellBlazerMNE07 well he is not Demian Maia but he has way better wrestling than him and many other grapplers
@HellBlazerMNE07well he is the champ now. Seems like tou dont need elite grappling to be the champion.
@HellBlazerMNE07 I don't. A short dude who is susceptible to kicks? It seems the UFC fanbase loves to pick against Islam Makhachev and he has to remind the fans he is not just a grappler. It's easy money for Islam all day.
I like this kid Topuria. I can see him as a future champion. He has potential.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU CAME BACK MY GUY I MISSED YOU
Topuria is best fighter to watch on UFC. He fights so clean, propy professional
Win or loose, Topuria is going to surprise a lot of absolutist people against Volk. I hope the fight gets official soon.
He will he is the only option and Volk wants to get that fight as soon as possible because he is already extremely old for a featherweight with 35 and he wants to fight Ilia while he is still in his prime and he knows Ilia is only 26 and will get better and bester with every month he waits and Volk also knows having Ilia on his resume will look really good in the future cause he knows Ilia is the future champ
It's an extremely interesting fight and i couldn't agree more.
Volka is a dead men.
Он воин! Такие как он спасали мою грузию на протяжении 35 веков!!
Jack Della and Ilia have some of the best hands for present and future title contenders and they both deliver those crippling body shots straight to the liver . I'll put Adrian Yanez there too but with his head coach passing who was mainly his boxing coach is not the same, hope he gets the right coaches to bring him back in the picture. And people are giving Volk too much credit . Volk was once on the same trajectory as Ilia and have the same traits as him but Volks vast championship experience makes him a little favourite but make no mistake it'll be a close fight for either men , Volks endless gas tank vs Ilia's knockout power.
Yanez has great hands. He had a bad night against Font, but Bantamweight is a murderer’s row. He’ll be back against Martinez
@@HellBlazerMNE07Casual take, ok . Dude doesn't even know who Saul Soliz was , I'll guarantee you this new found fan will Google him before replying. There are levels to this game surface scratcher.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 Garbage take ? you're the real one huh . I bet you're a big Dizzy fan who didn't give Sean a chance in hell . Guess what MMA math doesn't work like that. And now this casual will deny he's Dizzy's fanboy and jump on the bandwagon like the rest of them.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 He beat Costa though.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 looks like child's limited knowledge hurt his feelings. Did you know Soliz wasn't even there cornering him when he fought Costa but anyways.
From Georgia with Love
ILIA TOPURIA IS A TRUE MENACE. VIVA ILIA 💪💪
PD: this is a storytelling masterpiece
After watching this video, I am a fan of Ilia..!!
Sick video. The Bryce edit was so cool too. Am sad he lost that fight but just shows how good topuria really is cause he made it look EASY
what i LOVE about his striking, is his utilization of body shots. NOBODY hits the body as much as him. TOO many fighters focus on just headhunting their opponent. The biggest target on opponent is their torso, its the Center of mass.
Que destinos mas diferentes han tomado los caminos de Pimblet y Topuria, mientras uno se perfila como gran figura, a la espera de su lucha contra el mejor libra por libra, al otro le buscan una forma de no fracasar por lo comercial que puede ser debido a su micrófono. Increible.
Pimblet es un fanfarrón y un showman, creo que tiene demasiada influencia o admiración por Mc Gregor, pero Mc Gregor hay 1 y a el le salió bien esa actitud en la UFC porque respondía con victorias, pero Pimblet esta muy lejos de ser la sombra de Mc Gregor y esa actitud que tiene no sirve ni ayuda cuando luego los resultados no llegan... se creía mejor que Topuria, pero el tiempo pone a cada uno donde se merece. Tarde o temprano Topuria será campeón y quizás no sea ahora, pero con su actitud evolución, ambición y ganas lo será sin duda
ex mejor libra*, detrás del GOAT Jones y del que lo noqueo a los 3 minutos en la primera ronda.
Después de ver la pelea de Ferguson y la Josh. Creo que sobran las palabras. A ver qué le buscan ahora a Paddy que venda algo.
Let’s fucking go. Best MMA channel about
Lets go ilia 🇬🇪🇬🇪❤
17:40 Ilya gets dropped and the inner monologue starts😂😂 what a level of production!
One thing I've learned is to never doubt Volk, but I think Volk vs Topuria would be an interesting fight for sure.
Love this and ilia i'm a huge fan this guy is the next man up . Vamos ! El matador
Bryce Mitchel music video in this is just top class 22:30
So happy to have you back man... best in the business
Bro this documentary is something else. Love the storytelling trough the fights/media and interviews, crazy Mitchell rap segment in the middle, sneak peeks of opponents before fights, absolute perfection. Love from Georgia
The new Fonz of MMA. First it was Kenny Florian but now we got Ilia!

Both Leon and Tom fit his style of storytelling perfectly.

Pimblet is a braggart and a showman, I think he has too much influence or admiration for Mc Gregor, but there is 1 Mc Gregor and that attitude worked well for him in the UFC because he responded with victories, but Pimblet is far from being Mc Gregor's shadow.

Can't wait for Ilia vs Volk, have super high expectations for an absolute war. Not at all confident about who wins.
Excellent video.

Would love to see one on Tom Aspinall. He has the perfect story for your kinda videos. Btw how do I find your old highlights?
I like this man. Not because undefeated but the way he fight was very superb
Wait the fight at 4:00 went exactly like the Jai Herbert fight. Even down to the KO sequence
My man is on fire.

Brooo I’m so glad you’re posting again Iowkey thought you were done :( as always sick video 🔥🙏
Great job!!!
Great video, quality production!
Grande Los Hermanos Topuria Larga Vida
Amazing video, going with Topuria since the Zalal fight, really a complete fighter that has everything.
Bro this video was pure gold, awesome job, I didn’t know much about Ilia, but damn after this eye opening edit, I def think he’s going to take out Volk
Great video, this channel is extremely underrated. Keep grinding bro
Great video. Subscribed.
wow watching him flow grapple like that is a thing of beauty
Damn what a quick turnaround for a fighter documentary. I think one on Holloway, merab, or drew dober would be good, or maybe one on Joaquin Buckley. Joaquin and dober both fight tomorrow so if they win it would be good to capitalize on exciting fighters like them. Keep up the good work these documentaries are always great.
@@HellBlazerMNE07dude just shut up
Yeah no. Definitely Strickland tho
Buckley 😂😂😂😂
Love the intro!! Thug nasty killed it on the mic. Alright Arkansas! Thug nasty..
so glad your back, i love these so much, i honestly think you shoudl submit these to the ufc and ask for a job or be a sub contractor for each film you make, they're so good
Grande entre los grandes!! vamos Ilia!!
You got some great content to add to this video. Well done
Thanks great video!
Grande el matador and awesome job brother
Amazing film about an amazing fighter
Excellent editing. Well done👏👏
Yet again, Banger of a video! Top tier quality as always 🙌
Whaouu, enjoyable Documentary ❤
The only sport i ever felt in love with is/was Boxing, and i am a casual in mma although i have been watching it for some years now along with my Grandma at house ; and it is my grandma who introduced me to Ilia Topuria : his last fight was my first time watching him and Boy his Boxing in MMA is so good, his philly shell is wonderful and works in his sport .. he remind me very much of a very old Argentine Boxer contender in the 1950's , classified #1 at the time and one of the greatest Punchers ever : Eduardo Lausse 🇦🇷❤️
Vamos Topuria !!! 🇪🇦
Por parte de un Franco 🇲🇫 Argentino 🇦🇷😉
From your Spainish Community thx for this vid, thanks a lot! Good vid and good job, like ever.
Very well put together well done.
That is gonna be a great fight I can’t wait
My favorite fighter!!🔥
