I waited 6 months to watch this man fight again. I can't wait for the show he's gonna put on tomorrow
Its gonna be insane he is one of THE figjters to watch in the UFC
Got what you wanted lol. Ilia is such a beast he's definitely a top 5 featherweight. Max, volk or yair has to be next for him
He speaks better than Nate
Everybody speaks better than Nate 😂
Ur boy JP gonna get worked
@@1D.JFanMma👏. 👏. 👏. 👏
If you get as high as Nate you would speak like Nate too 😂
Drunk dudes at the bar speak better than Nate
Idk what people are talking about, this will be a competitive fight. Emmitt is not a punk!!!
It will be. If topuria is reckless he will eat the overhand but that is all he has to worry about. More ways for ilea to win
@@kevivtawar7716to be fair I’m pretty sure every guy who has fought Emmett has caught the right hand at least once in the fight. I know ige and yair caught one but came back right after.🤔
@@kevivtawar7716 ilia gets clipped quite a bit, if you look back he has bruising on his face after every fight should be interesting how he deals with emmett
@@mattreef3379 he also adapts effectively mid fight.
Agreed. Rewatch the Bryce fight. Bryce rocked Ilia more than once and Bryce is half the stand up fighter that Emmett is here. Fan of both guys, but will be cheering for Emmett to make a much better showing than people expect. Ilia is not going to just run through him in R1 like so many are claiming.
this guy has so much fire. you can really tell. i wish him all th best. definately champion material
such a lame, generic comment.
@@charlescharlemagne4907Facts
Well hes the champ now@@charlescharlemagne4907
hello ?! you still there ...@@charlescharlemagne4907
I can't wait to watch this man perform. He's brings the fight and completely assaults his opponent relentlessly. I hope he doesn't receive any injuries.
He’s so crisp and clean with his striking, he legit has some of the best looking boxing in the UFC.
This guy needs to be humbled. He's cool but no chance against volk. His combos are slow and he winds up alot
This will be the easiest fight of his career and it’s essentially his toughest fight of his career on paper. Topuria sleeps emmet in first round
@@mhutch5082 It's going to be a good fight and one of Volk's hardest tests.
@@MimiPipoo other way around bro. Even Holloway would whip this guy
That’s good.
Calm
Cool and
Collected
Paddy really disappeared after their UK altercation eh. Love this guy Topuria 🥳👊
English is getting significantly better
Really hope so. Can't wait.
საქართველოს გაუმარჯოს 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Something tells me josh Emmett is going to completely shatter the ufcs & Ilia's plan to get the next star who they hope to keep Alex volk fight to keep Alex busy & to build this kid to a star
No he wil get finished he’s not on Illia level at all😭😭
one of them is getting chinned
emmett is not on ilia level, complete domination tomorrow night
I'm with you, I don't think it's unlikely for Emmett to get a finish
Hahahhah Emmet will go to sleep are you joking? Ilia will eat him alive rofl 😂
yes we all think or know that Illia should win but Josh has been the underdog in many fights where he ended up sleeping the other dude. You can not get hit clean by him
Very likeable person ! Respect
წარმატებები, ილია !
Max delayed yair and he almost certainly delayed Arnold who will find a different path to the title shot than through max with another 1 or 2 victories. It's weird it's like max is clearing the division as much as if not more than Alex because he is forcing these guys to give a couple extra fights worth of footage against elite competition for Volk to study, so the max victories will be perceived as more impressive.
same with whittaker
This man is going to be the next champ.
After watching the fight, I think you’re right! I’d love to see Ilia vs Volk or Max or Allen! He deserves the winner of the next title fight for sure
Yes sir!
The thumbnail is on its way to saying his full name 😂 I love it.
Topuria 🔥💯🏆
Ilia Topuria with the accurate volk prediction
Man his English is really good now. Let's go Ilia. 👊
Seems like a cool guy
Man I Hope he'll keep improving his english so in the future can give us a whole mma podcast or something. The guy is a killer we need to know more of him.
He should do an episode on Brandon Moreno's podcast.
You guys really missing out, I’m a Spanish speaker, the way he expresses himself is very inspiring and insightful, he speaks just as good as he fights, reminds me of prime McGregor
Anthony Smith : Ilia, what keeps awake at night ?
Ilia : I stay at the door jst in case if he is coming to attack my family. 😊
ilia not putting Emmett to sleep maybe a TKO but Emmett will come out swinging as well
Have you heard of this thing called, grappling?
(Topuria can also KO him of course)
Round 1 tko in my opinion,
Topuria's smile has some Deniro's dna
Let’s gooooo ilia 🔝🔥
When Paulo Costa said he drank too much wine the night before his fight with Israel was true after all
Anthony "Man Bear Pig" Smith and Din "Tyron Woodley's Waterboy" Thomas
Topuria got some combos and angles but if he stands in the pocket with Emmett he’s gonna get caught. Don’t sleep on Emmett’s speed and power.
HE REALLY GOT EVERYTHINGH TO BE CHAMP
"I drink half litre of wine." Well, if it doesn't go his way, at least he'll be able to pull a page out of the Paulo Costa playbook...XD
Let’s go emmett stay focused and take this dude out
Vamoos!!!
Just for fun compare listening to Ilia for an hour or Paddy ? Josh sleeping by the 2nd. Ilia too technical and well rounded. Josh has a puncher's chance yeah, but Ilia got a chin too so even if he gets clipped / dropped it just means Ilia finishes Josh on the matt instead of the feet.
Ilia "borrachina" topuria
HEY!!
He’s right you know
ილო❤❤
Both Ilia and Emmet are absolute beasts!! Want Ilia to win because I'm a fan but Emmet WILL NOT be going out without a fight, you best believe that.
Like he did go out with a fight against Yair?
Ilia has nasty body shots we seen how Yair hurt emmet to the body, i can easily see ilia dropping emmet then spanking him on the ground
Rising ⭐
I like Ilia but I'm getting Chikadze vibes
Quick knock out/knock downs to finish tko is what u see in this fight. Round 1
Topuria is a dawg man
So Paulo caosta wasn’t lying about the wine 🍷 😂😂in his fight
I guess Paulo Costa is gonna have to revoke his red wine excuse.
Paulo Costa and him should hang out
Don’t sleep on Josh. Dude hits like a truck at FW
The wine is epic.
gyno emmett for the W🔥🔥🔥
Dude just waiting to be a star.
Topuria by slaughter.
I see what he did. Followed the Paulo Costa strategy to use as insurance in case he loses.
Him vs Volk would be interesting
I want to see Karyn Brian fight spanko sanko
Please ilia by 3rd round 😭 Make me big money
ILIA TOPURIA
I AM SO HYPED ABOUT THIS FIGHT GUYS ILIA IS THE REAL DEAL HE COMMING FOR VOLK AFTER EMMET 🎉
I don't know, I can't help but believe him.
illia is won of the most talented fighters in the ufc i cant wait for his fight against volk
Nice job ilia! Future champ! 💪🔥
Maynard gonna have to go back stomping on grapes and singing behind curtains after Ilia decapitates him.
3:45
Topuria needs to smoke paddy
1:30
And there’s no way he gets past Holloway
He will not get the next title shot
He’ll have to go through Max first.
And he’ll get schooled.
Topuria is a future champ
I’m aware it won’t happen, but I really want to see Topuria and Arman scrap.
Dudes are only mid-ish 20s and seem like they can hang with the top 3 on any day in their divisions
Not in the same division buddy
My bad
Thought obvious when I said “it won’t happen” and “divisions” with an “s”
Whatever
I have no dog in this Jai Herbert
Ilia has made lw before and will probably move up if he gets the belt and defends a few times so your matchup isn't a ridiculous one. As you mentioned they're both young too. Honestly I think if ilia bulks up a tiny bit he could win against arman. Very good grappling and has better submission ability imo. Only thing topuria needs to work on really are his kicks and cardio. I'd pay to see this fight for sure!
@@alazarbekele4223Not in the same division buddy get a clue
Bro arman would annihilate Tuporia just like he finished in two rounds the hype of Joel Alvarez
After rewatching Ilia’s fight against Herbert and Emmett’s fight against Yair, I really see Ilia as a bad matchup for Emmett. Emmett likes to swing super heavy trying to find a KO punch, but if Ilia can get in and out and beat him to the punches like Yair did, he can break Emmett down and finish him like he did to Herbert!
Costa is redeemed
Topuria is highly skilled, but is he juiced also?
Only on red wine
Please! He's going to sleep.
Wait...didn't they already fight on another PPV? Ilia knocked him out in the 2nd now is preparing for volk
Ilia fought Bryce Mitchell in another PPV and KO’d him in the second. He’s now fighting Josh Emmett
@@simondalton8295he submitted bryce not kod him😅
Just watched it again. You’re right. My bad…I’m getting old and forgetful 😂
Anthony smith needs to retire and become a reporter/commentator
he might be worse at this than fighting
I love this kid, I hope he does well and is well pleased with his performance tonight I just wish Christians would understand that God hates pride and that we've been taught that somehow it has good, it doesn't, we just simply need to remove the word from our vernacular and trade It for the words "well pleased"
May God bless this young man and his always and let us remember that God warns against Pagan traditions such as things like witchcraft, tattoos, piercings, scarring, because after all our bodies are a Holy Temple.
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
How do we make UFC terrible? Let’s get ESPN involved… people watch something better…
Ilia has class. Conor era is over.
conor sells 2m ppv and headlined every ppv . illa sells 50k maybe
Es verdad lo del vino?
yup
Ilia ko by rd 2.
ilia is up next for the title shot, he needs to finish or dominate emmett from start to finish
Josh Emmett is getting absolutely spanked in this fight. He's got nothing for Ilia 👊
Ilia has been dropped by less powerful strikers, if he gets clipped by Emmett it's gonna be a rough night for him.
I can’t wait to see you cry when your PAPA Lillian gets dropped
@@xpacnwo2000he got dropped by a kick to the head bro and toughed it out I think his chin is pretty strong
@@mark_plays3669 Emmett hits hard brother, Ilia has toughed it out in the past but when you start fight these top 10 guys their ability to finish is different.
Im not saying he wont win, im just saying it wont be as easy as people think.
You gotta keep your head on a swivel with emmett.
topuria might get nuked be careful what u say
Let's remember, Ilia was hurt badly & almost finished 3 fights ago vs some regional level opponent from England.. think his nickname is junkyard dog but cant remember his actual name. Yes that was at lightweight but contrary to belief, just because an opponent at lightweight is bigger than a guy from featherweight, doesn't mean they have more power than some featherweights. Josh Emmett- a lifelong wrestler very well carries the pound for pound best punching power in mma today. The guy weighs in at 145. Looks like a chiseled lightweight hits like a strong welterweight . Ilia is very sus in his defense.. & Emmett absolutely smokes him in the wrestling & overall ground work. This is a deal rough matchup for Ilia & very few mma fans know that. They think it's a lamb going into slaughter.
Topuria has much better grappling than Emmet, ur goofy. Dude got tapped by Yair lmao
Another crossroads fight. If I bet my money would be on this guy to get the finish
I loke to watch Josh fire them off but he doesn't have the skill or grit this dude has
iLLIA tOPURIA IS ATTACKING MY FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Borrachinha was telling the Truth.
Bet🤥
Its so sad seeing him talking like this. When you hear him talking in georgian he talks so much better.
😂about 17 people would understand him
@@user-tg8qo6nz9k Yeah 17 people with their own language))
Evil evil man
I’m not surprised If josh put ilia to sleep 😂
Emett will Micheal Johnson him
Nah
can UFC get rid of that fake nice guy Anthony Smith please?!
Too arrogant
It’s time for Emmet yo derail the overly hyped train.
Emmet laughs cause he knows he's not half as good or disceplined like most americans
I’m actually praying that Josh Emmett knocks out Ilia Topuria.
Doubt
Sadly his english ain't that good, but if you ever hear his interviews in spanosh you'll know what kind of aan he is, an absolute beast
Brother. Can you do translation for one of Spanish video you talk bout
no mames, Ilia es un pendejo y lo van a dormir mañana.
I think Volk is finally gonna have a fresh contender.
If taporia got his hands on paddy some1 in ufc should face murder charges cus he would killed him
The woman has the biggest arms on stage
Emmett vs topuria gonna be firework's wonder who will shoot first ...
Emmett is tough so for as long as it lasts it's gonna be a war
