Yeah this is a great channel. I appreciate he isn't uploading videos everyday. You could tell he takes time and effort to make each video worth watching.
I give props for bobby knuckles taking a short notice replacement but the props should be given to Aliskerov. The guy literally took a fight out of nowhere looked like hell in the weigh-ins and walkout and clearly was not prepared. The true unsung hero of the card.
love how you tell the story i love the story line its easy to follow through on how u tell the story theres no way i cant finish the video i love it this is how the fight video should go interesting keeping us glued , keep telling the story righ brother
0:48 bro max is barely 5 years older than ilia. Max has been in the ufc for as long as ilia has been fighting. Hes talking about sending him to a retirement home because hes old. NEVER BEEN KOed or rocked...NEVER and ilia is supposed to be the one to do it? He has to punch up get thru max's long reach and deal with his volume pace once he gets rolling. Ilia this isnt going to be a walk in the park
Max has one of the highest cumulative strikes absorbed ever for a UFC fighter......... he gets punched and takes damage even in fights in which he dominates. Eventually his chin will have to crack cause that's the way for every fighter.
What I love is the fact ilia fights to finish the opponent he isn't fighting to a decision. He is trying to finish the guy. Max ... Gonna get slept .... Max peak was defeating Justin in the fashion he did. But that's it.. Topuria is the future. The face that is leading the old guard into the exit
I think this category is about to be disputed between Ilia and Diego Lopes. Don't know who else comes after, but those two seems to be meant to rule this weight.
Why weren't the 2 very blatant eye pokes in the Justin fight mentioned? I think that the real reason Max was a step ahead is that he's going to get KOed no doubt if Ilia can avoid the eye pokes.
12:12 there's the issue right there in logic. Ilia isn't a knockout artist. that implies he relies on his power. Just bc someone is powerful doesn't mean they rely on their power. Lennox lewis could hit like a truck but we don't think of him as a knockout artist despite being trained by the late Steward. Justin whether ppl want to admit it or not is a 35 year old wrestler who likes to brawl. He's FANTASTIC at it. but he's not a boxer. he has no amateur pedigree. justin hasn't punched someone knocking them spark out since he was in his 20's. then you might say well who could KO max? exactly. the division isn't full of hands specific guys. TKD is visible in Yair's style. Volk is the closest and literally look what happened. people love talking about max's chin but he's never fought someone more slick with the hands. volk was close but it was his IQ. Ilia is slicker. just as quick. and a better counter puncher. he's younger. more explosive. and you set understandable bias aside, which is hard bc i love max, he has a very small window to win this. it's there. but it's small. he wont see all the shots coming like he literally always does. that's why guys get knocked out. Bud Crawford isn't the KO gawd at welter/super - he's not Julian Jackson. But he knocks ppl tf out bc of shot selection. Ilia is much the same way and max hasn't fought anyone like that bc the lower weights recently hadn't had it. you know who used to be like that? my favorite ufc fighter Frankie. Max is a living legend in my book but i don't see this being close. I eagerly await an education should he prove me wrong and he showcases new levels that help him overcome the same hurdle atleast of a prime volk. that would be beyond impressive.
Featherweight is the most elite weight class in the UFC. And my heart says Rob and Max, my mind says Rob and Ilia. Time will tell. I am hyped for Saturday
People hate him for it but Topuria’s sh*t talking is the reason I like him. I like people who talk crap and back it up cause they are risking a lot just by them talking sh*t I hope he points down in the first 10 seconds and shoots for that takedown and beat the break’s off of Max
@@higuys6523 do you just say random shit you hear and hope it makes sense? And you contradicted yourself because you said you love when people talk shit and back it up and you said you hope he points to the ground and then shoots a takedown that’s literally the opposite of what he’s been saying
Max the blessed one Holloway is the very definition of a BMF I know he can win but even if he doesn't the fans will forever respect him. You cannot break that man.
This is the best fight this year. The tension of this fight is unmatchable it's like champ vs champ. Like beterbiev vs bivol. So excited, they're both top fighters, but Max is already a legend!
This is one of those very rare instances where the people's main event is THE main event. Also, if Ilia points down and Max obliges the world will lose its mind🔥💯
Why everyone is underestimating Max? I hope he will win brutally just to see everyone's faces. Ilia could beat him badly eventually but Max is someone to never be counted out before a fight.
@@CFH50 my excuse for him? I'm not looking for excuses, the last time he pulled out he was very sick. That time he was over weight he could have handled it better even though he said he could've made weight if the doctors didn't stop him.
Topuria's crisp, tight, powerful, technical boxing, with the death touch and next level wrestling and ground game versus Max's overwhelming volume and pressure boxing, and the best cardio in the business and granite chin..What's not to like..These two could fight 10 times in a row, and end up being 10 totally different fights..Both guys could win, and we can envision many different ways, that both guys could win..Basically Max works best in open space and constant movement, Topuria works best in tight, in the pocket, with his opponent trapped against the cage..Topuria cannot beat Max the way Volk did, the only Featherweight to do it in a decade, it's not possible, he will need to do it a different way, it's gonna be very interesting..
Kind of getting the feeling tht Illia giving everyone the idea he's only interested in striking with Max but in all likelihood he's may look to wrestle Max!!!!!
I love Max. My worry is that Max is very hitable. That's how we all know his chin is tough. But Illia's power and near flawless technique inside the octagon has me really worried for Max if he's gonna rely on his chin
I haven't been this nervous for a fight since Izzy vs Pereira 4
For Izzy?
@@CCS565 ya? More of a pereira fan but, wanted to see the better fighter win. Izzy beats the guy up all night every fight right until the end or perieria gets saved by a belt or something. Izzy just seemed unlucky but was clearly the better fighter

Yeah, agreed. I always have a soft spot for fighters who step in last minute. Mad respect.
@@kyledabearsfan aliskerov took a short notice against the top 3 middleweight while being unranked, that takes some balls
Double weight cut 1 week apart as well. Brain very dehydrated which makes it alot easier to be KOed

This fight is gonna be nuts, I have anxiety just thinking about it
How do you know?

Max has hella brain damage though. Just listen to him speak. Its just a matter of time.
Max and Ilia have basically the same reach despite Max being way taller than him.
Never been knock down?? Dustin Porter?
Yeaaahhh baby tfb just posted
This channel is so underrated Keep it up mate Great storytelling great visuals

Not believing it until i see khamzat inside the octagon 😂
Yoooo what a great video!! Im actually upset I didn’t find your channel earlier. I haven’t been this hype for a fight in a very long time!
What a video❤❤ literally deserves a million likes
These deeper dive videos, love them man!!!!
Omg just about to eat some takeout what timing with this upload ❤
Thanks for the video, THE FIGHTING BUSINESS

Nah Justin said after in an interview even without the eye pokes and broken nose he woulda lost. He said max was just better.
dude i love your videos, gets me so hype for the cards
Man!!!! Nobody can hype up a fight /fighter like you
One thing is for sure.... We gonna find out on October 26th
I’m not sure about that… we’ll see what happens on October 26th
Aways love seeing you drop ❤

this shit slaps im so hyped for these fights
I just thought about how ironic it is that a guy called the highlight is now on the receiving end of arguably the greatest highlight of all time
It’s not just topurias power it’s his range management and combination punching
Max is probably my favorite fighter ever. I just want him to win, but Illia is a monster too, a ton of respect.
The blessed era is upon us
Love your videos
Sterling was 307. We had Volkov vs Gane on this card that got removed.
I thought Gaethjie would be the one to crack Max's chin.
Not going to make that mistake again, think Max takes this one
The fact that u thought drunk gaethje would finish 😂😂😂😂 u r dummb
