I think dc has become the best 1v1 interview before fights
He can talk as freely as he wants because he knows he could whoop pretty much every guy he interviews
Yup exactly he just like the big brother in the mat room but in the interviews to
DC is a nice guy with a great sense of humor and personality who has done pretty much everything there is to do with his career save for beating the arguable GOAT.
Like... what quality is he missing? Every fighter he talks to he seems to have that "everyone favorite uncle at the bbq" energy. He's a lovable guy who knows everything about what these guys are dealing with and can relate with them on a way most people.cant.
Funny and charming, not the brightest mind. A male less good looking version of Nina Drama, who doesn’t have to play with sexuality like her to be funny.
DC is awesome. Big ol teddy bear. Haters hate on him for being human
"I don't wanna fight with guys that fight for the title 3 times and got their ass whopped" 😭😭😭
Weakkkkkkk😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Easier to duck the top guys and get title shot by fighting Emmit 😅
the top 5 didnt want to fight him, now fuck them@@furlough2327
in max defense he only got whooped the 3rd one 1st was close 2nd was a tossup
English is his third language and this man is this fluent and articulate? Very nice for his promotion
Hes first language is germany, then Giorgian, then spanish. Now English. ☠️
*4th language, from what I’ve read he speaks German, Georgian, Spanish, English and abit of Russian
@@joshf-w9602Like a tru gypsy
@@KurtRamirezhe doesn't really speak German, he was born there and left at 7 to move to Georgia till he was 15

Dudes so confident he’s got me thinking he’s gonna win and I love Volk 😂
😂
That's the power of believing in yourself
You were right buddy
It was the "history repeats itself" line that shit gave me chills bro lmao @@marcopelaezfernandez4573
good
great energy between those two
Ilia Topuria’s interviews are my daily dose of confidence boost 😅
Ilias confidence needs to be studied at Harvard 😂 I love it may the best man win
Illia will win.
Great interview! Illia Topuria clearly has tons of respect for DC it was nice to see.
"And I lost. Idk if you know that...shit was f*cked up" 😂
Ilia didn’t know what to say for a sec 😂😂😂
When he said, "I'll crush him in the first round." He said it with such conviction. He truly believes in himself. Going to be a good one.
He said he’d finish Josh Emmett in the first round with a lot of conviction as well
he also says that if it doesn't work to knock him out in the first round, go 5 rounds or be ready.@@vishaldaryanani7757
@@vishaldaryanani7757 he literally just said he had to more reserved with Josh cus of his power. Volk doesn’t have knockout power. He will put him out. Ilia is our new champ
How do u explain him not finishing Bryce in the 1st round then
@@luilui303volk doesn’t have power but half his wins come T/KO?? make your comment make sense
Daniel, Im spanish and I have seen every Ilia interview since years ago, and this one is the best one so far. Thanks a lot and keep doing it.
He’s 100 percent confident. People are sleeping on this man… come back after the fight when he’s the new champ
Idk about new champ, he has holes in his game and he’s 27. He’s not in his prime yet, which says a lot about his potential.
@@mattkaiser8984 we shall see. Should be a banger
@@Fitness45233I can’t go against Volk. I like both but I have to root for Volk over topuria Volk deserves this. He deserves to be the unified best in his weightclass.
@@youngeeneden1594ain’t gonna happen buddy
If he comes with that head down boxing style he's gonna get a kick to his face. But I like the dude no doubt.
How can anyone not like this guy? He is very charismatic and appreciated by legends.
This is a great interview. Illia showing us who he really is.
U know what fook it, IM GOING WITH TOPURIA, I thought he was way too cockt but he's real and u have to respect that
i said it multiple times, people should appreciate such fighters but they are quickly to hate
Bandwagon fan! 🚨 your only commenting this because you just watched his video… go watch a recent Volk interview and you’ll comment that you are voting for Volk! 🤪
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever that's what you do
Volk is gonna smash your boy!
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever hop off the burner account volk lol yah right u wish u were volk xD run along kid
DC and Illia bromance was surprising but great.
Bet the house on my guy!!!!!!
If you want to be homeless
You would be homeless by Sunday. Volkanovski is in a league of it's own in featherweight division. Don't let last fight to confuse you, he has fought THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD. Islam is P4P #1.
clean ya mouth when you finish
Ilia gona maul the old guy @@oneshot8480
@@oneshot8480 Father time is undefeated, mate. Topuria will finish him and make it look easy.
I'm here in Spain. If this man wins, I'm the first to buy a VIP seat in the stadium.... I'll go all out. I might even buy a couple of girls to escort me to my seat!!! Viva España!
con un par de huevos, yo igual
@@ismigomez limpiaros el sabo cuando acabeis de chuparsela .. menudos bujarrillas
A las chicas compralas en tu pais, q son bien cerdas😅
😂😂
😂😂😂
this guy's my new favourite fighter
“Shit was fucked up” 😂😂
He changed his tune quite a bit from his first big interview and I respect it. I like him being confident and respectful.
I was there live for the Jai Herbert fight in London, this dude has something special.
Takes massive balls to take a fight a devision up, against a home crowd guy, he completey silenced that arena.
Wouldnt be suprised if he done the job.
His take on losing balances out his over the top confidence. He knows where he's at. Can't wait for this fight!!
I really like both fighters. I hate to see either lose right now. This is extreme confidence, not arrogance on display. Ilia has charisma, a great PR team, good coaching, and international appeal. He's a polished product ready to be a champ. If there is a stoppage, Ilia is champ, but if it goes to decision, Volk will retain the belt imo. Nobody out-works Volk.
What about islam
@@Smg786yt İt's featherweight division.
@@Smg786yt Volk out worked him but Islam was much more efficient and more power shots and kicks. Volk is like mini Randy Couture in his prime. He cliches and keeps it gritty, and waits for tired mistakes from the opponent. Who controls the clinch, controls the fight.
@@petedog9581 who got knocked out first round in the second fight 🤔
@@Smg786yt Islam is #1 pound for pound for sure. I don't think either of these guys could beat him... Volk too many battles and Ilia needs a fight at 155, if he ever jumps to lightweight. A great lightweight fight would be Ilia and Rafa Fiziev. If he could beat him, he may be able to challenge Islam. I think Fiziev would beat Geathje, if they fought again.
If Daniel cormier comes to me and tells me i have a pretty face i would be terrified
😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂👏👏
DC liked him a bit too much lmao
I likes ya and I wants ya 😂
Haha
Topuria was so confident that he did not even think about having a tune up fight before the title fight. This confidence will either make him sink or swim.
If he was to fight someone else before fighting Volk for the title he would have to fight someone like Holloway, Yair, Allen, Movsar . He’s beat the people who are just below championship level fighters, like Bryce, Emmett etc, there are no more “warm up” fights unless he fights championship level
This isn’t boxing
somehow this reminds me of Izzy vs costa fight..... aggressive young arrogant challenger
no more alcohol for Topuria
@@OldTonyFerguson And he isn't a boxer. He simply has very good boxing, FOR an MMA fighter. His strengths are actually Greco Roman wrestling and BJJ. But I have to say, his most glaring lacking is his legs. He kicks; but you know it is not natural for him... natural like it is for Leon or Izzy or Alex or Islam.
MMA fans in America don't watch Muay Thai, as a pure sport, so they don't know good elbows, legs, and knees when they see them. Islam, "the wrestler," has some of the best Muay Thai forms ever. I've watched Muay Thai since I was a little boy in the late 1970s.
Of course, no MMA fighter could do pure Muay Thai, due to the fear of being taking down (something Muay Thai guys don't worry about, in a Muay Thai contest: go watch one of the current ONE FC champ, Tawanchai: he is an elite classic Muay Thai guy)...
But for MMA guys, using MMA rules.... Islam's Muay Thai is elite!
POINT IS, even elite wrestlers COULD KICK well, if they put time into learning how to kick.
If this guy wins automatically a superstar.
Loved the interview man, so much respect from Spain. Vamos a por todas Ilia!!
We are witnessing the beginning of a new superstart
Not superstop?
I love the way Ilia talks, Reminds me of a jon jones
Bro I watched like 30 or more interviews of Ilia. Some in english y algunas en español . This is the best one for sure, not a single question repeated from the other ones
Topuria is a cool dude very respectful
Respectful?.....you clearly don't know the meaning of respect!
Whatever happen its gonna be a banger for sure
Conor??@@ethernetify cmon man using colby vs leon was a bad comparison. Conor did the same thing to aldo, he said he would do it and didnt get cold feet
The thing is colby hadn't stepped into the cage in two years before that leon fight so that's something to consider@@ethernetify
2:47 well said ilia
Dc is a legend.
DC always gets the best interviews from fighters bc they can relate to him and respect him, love to see topuria show respect to DC as well
I think its more than the fact they respect him. Its that DC cannot be intimidated by these guys. It allows him to knock down the facade and see the real person
congratulations! 🔝🔝🔝, the best interview.
Real Man Respect here. I Love to see it. Looking into each others eyes while talking. Hilarious Strong Brothers having a real conversation.
I only like watching DC interviews with fighters, mix of press questions, and deeper than surface level convo as well. Respect.
If Topuria goes too hard in round 1 and Volk is still there by round 3, it could be a long night for Topuria 🤷♂️
Great interview Man
Ilia Topuria still improving, you are going to be surprised, my guys
Vamos Ilia 💪
That was good interview. Dc you are the man bro and good luck to the brother
This is the collab we needed 🙏🏾
This video was just... awesome!
Great interview
DC always flirting I love it 😅😅😅😅
The fighters really enjoy talking with DC, you can tell. Great job.
Dc is the greatest interviewer for foreign fighters
Great Interview!
Excited to see what he has to say here, biggest moment of his career in 2 days
I am only 24 turning 25 on the 17th & I wasn't a UFC fan during DCs rise to double champ status but I have watched all important and good fights from the old days and DC is a master of the sport. Anaheim woulda loved to have u man! Great interview
I love DC so much, the only dude who asks real questions to the fighters! Ilia is a real good dude people hating on him for NO reason. Kid HAS to have confidence w hen going against the BEST.
A lot of respect between these two 💪💪
The little back and forth was kinda funny there 😂
Daniel is talking to him like a child. What an articulate, yet funny guy Cormier is. If I were Topuria I would analyze examples given by Daniel more carefully
I like the respect he gave dc in the beginning dc is a legend even a legend at doing interviews
“And I lost, idk if you know that..shit was fucked up” 💀
Just realised DC is doing interviews and not commentating
He is not commentating this fight?
This 27 year old talks like he's 40. Love it.
Make sure you look up the record of fighters over 35s record for featherweight division
Alex drinking wine all camp 😂😂😂
😂
After watching this I can respect everything that’s been coming out about him
This is the best UFC interview ive seen for real
Illia needed this type of interview to showcase this side of him, the other interviews made him like so stoic and rigid
that moment between them talking about the Stipe and Jones fights was great
I feel like anybody sane would be proud with how DC fought in the second fight despite getting knocked out, he was walking through kicks, knees and everything to box Jones and did great despite 12" reach disadvantage and massive size disadvantage
Love this confidence
This intreview was great intreview
The fight is gonna be amazing
His energy is legit! Very dangerous. An intangible that isn’t discussed often enough, most especially considering what a huge deal it is. I’m pumped for tomorrow night!!
Good Fighter, no doubt but the rugby league guy over the soccer guy might be the tip
Cormier sits like that one uncle that makes you feel you have superpowers. You can tell Ilia felt very comfortable here.
Thanks DC for giving the best Topuria interview of the week.
Huge step up in competition for Ilia. He definitely has a punchers chance but he better catch Volk early because the longer the fight goes, advantage Volk.
How you made this statement for sure Ilia also can win a decision.
He has more than a punchers chance though. He has some serious skills, not just a power puncher.
@@BarMan670.....All I'm saying is this dude's confidence better not backfire because he will be down and broken fr!
@@daviempambani4745 yes could happen but he is very solid everywhere from what I’ve seen
@@daviempambani4745did you not watch the interview?
This gives Aldo vs McGregor vibes. A respectful champion and highly regarded by mma fans vs a young prospect that seems delusional but he’s just confident.
No way Dc know some about soccer, another reason to love that dude 🙌🏽
Great video
After seeing this I’m rooting for Topiria
I really like both guys. The interview was probably one of the best showcases of who ilia is. I hope it’s a good fight but I don’t wana root for either 😂
@DC great interview
Lmao. Daniel proving that old Greco wrestling stereotype to be right.
“You have a pretty face”. 😆
King already 👑
I don't care what anyone thinks of Topuria. He needs to believe in himself and get this done. You will be successful in whatsoever you do when you believe in yourself and your hard work.
Topuria, go get the job done and begin a new chapter in this division.
There’s a big difference between being confident and just being arrogant . If he would have beat Ortega , Yair , or Holloway then all his talking would be justified . He has almost lost to opponents that were not even in the top ten . He’s use to fighting wolves and Volk is Lion .
@@JulioRodriguez-ep2rv 🤣🤣🤣 so we just saw a wolf slaughter a lion sheesh........
Spaniards don't rallye behind untalented bums in any sport. He's special and he will take the belt.
Ilia is a champ for sure….
GIVE ME VOLK
For sure. Just not on Saturday.
@@johnathongarcia564 mmm
Nice episode
Just wait for the excuses from the haters when ilia wins.
A) the was not 100% after the ko vs Islam
B) he got robbed
Yeah, I can already hear the first one. I dont think the fight will be that close for them to say the second one.
@@gtchannel4353 exactly, ilia won and the top excuse is the first one lmao
ilia vs Justin gaethge in the near future at 155 would be insane
@@ReposSamir who hurt u
@@Undefeated0-0 your mum
wtf.. Justin Gaethge is too big
@@ElaraNightsky topuria actually kills himself to make 145. He is for sure after 3 years going to lightweight
@@guillermoperez993 no he doesnt. he is a small 145 in fact and almost the same height as Alex
He has the dangerous type of confidence! Makes me nervous if he does win, it means the legend volk is on the slide and his era is now coming to an end! And if does go against Volks and it does mean he is on the slide, he still achieved amazing things already, He was undeniable in the division for a while now. He beat every body, till he didn't anymore!
What do you mean" till he didn't".....he's undefeated in this division
He did everything what he said.. What a fighter man
Illia speaks English much better than Khabib and Islam makhachev.
This guy is well disciplined based on good studies and not on religious texts books.
He is catholic though, but not fanatic.
Paddy put Ilia on my radar with the shenanigans, but man, Ilia is more entertaining in his fights and these interviews made me appreciate his personality. In time, Ilia will be a superstar in the 145 division.
QUE GRANDE DC!! YOU ARE THE MAN.
