Alphonse de LaMartaine in 'Historie de la Turquie,' Paris, 1854.
"Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily or involuntarily, a more sublime aim, since this aim was superhuman; to subvert superstitions which had been imposed between man and his Creator, to render God unto man and man unto God; to restore the rational and sacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing. Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means, for he (Muhammad) had in the conception as well as in the execution of such a great design, no other instrument than himself and no other aid except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a huge and lasting revolution in the world, because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam, in faith and in arms, reigned over the whole of Arabia, and conquered, in God's name, Persia Khorasan, Transoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt, Abyssinia, all the known continent of Northern Africa, numerous islands of the Mediterranean Sea, Spain, and part of Gaul.
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls.
"On the basis of a Book, every letter which has become law, he created a spiritual nationality which blend together peoples of every tongue and race. He has left the indelible characteristic of this Muslim nationality the hatred of false gods and the passion for the One and Immaterial God. This avenging patriotism against the profanation of Heaven formed the virtue of the followers of Muhammad; the conquest of one-third the earth to the dogma was his miracle; or rather it was not the miracle of man but that of reason.
"The idea of the unity of God, proclaimed amidst the exhaustion of the fabulous theogonies, was in itself such a miracle that upon it's utterance from his lips it destroyed all the ancient temples of idols and set on fire one-third of the world. His life, his meditations, his heroic revelings against the superstitions of his country, and his boldness in defying the furies of idolatry, his firmness in enduring them for fifteen years in Mecca, his acceptance of the role of public scorn and almost of being a victim of his fellow countrymen... This dogma was twofold the unity of God and the immateriality of God: the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with words.
"Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs.... The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?"
ilia transitioning from grappler to boxer cuz he knew that striking is more entertaining for a lot of people is an amazing stuff. also, he plays the villain role cuz he knew that dana white loves all the drama.
Striker* he’s a underrated kicker if he gets more flexible he will be a monster. I know sparring is way different but it still applies to the real fight depending on what mindset you have.
@@kakashi1. ilia did that. when fought emmet, he often kick him. ilia knows emmet is typical boxer that doesnt use kick often. also hes okay taking volk punch cuz volk doesnt has that ko power. but with emmet, ilia moves behind when emmet throw punches, cuz he knows emmet got those touch of death. ilia always adapt to his opps man.
I dont think it was a business decision.. but maybe im wrong. Wrestling takes a lot of effort in stance defense reaction. Sure boxing requires similar focus but.. personally, id rather onock someone out than shoot and fight for a submission.
He has natural power too, so they had to have seen the potential beforehand. That he could be a double threat.
nobody calls him "The Spanish James Bond"
😂😂😂
I just did?
@@awarriorphilosophyI found it weird too
🤣🤣
hater
I think this content creator the only person to call him James Bond
He’s the Spanish James Bond
@@colinholzmann1586 my Spanish James Bond isn’t 5’5
@@FazeMonk95napoleon was 5'7 who is million times greater than bond lol
@Graycent7326and Alexander the Great was the same height who was millions times better than Napoleon was short men run the world
yeah, I started do the same thing too. Nothing's bad or wrong about it
hey man, i literally never comment but I gotta say - pls don;t stop making these, I've literally not encountered any content exactly like this and it's absolutely perfect. I'm sure editing and making all these vids isn't easy for you and you deserve was more audience than what you have right now - and it's going to happen real soon, I'm sure! so don't stop!! ur doing amazing friend :)
Thank you for being a fan brother, glad you enjoy the content
second this notion. this video gave me goosebumps a bit. my first times on the channel. gotta go watch the max one now no question
Yup, this channel will blow up very fast. You have a good combination between showing footage and having close-up shots of yourself for short periods of time. That way, you don't become a non-face UA-camr, but the switching between different shots also makes the attention span easier. You nailed the balance, my dude, keep going.
This is way more engaging to watch than some people with stationary camera shots like Gabriel Vargas.
Your vocal pacing is on point too. Too many UA-camrs make sure there’s constant talking and leave no space for your brain to process all of what’s being said. These really are great so yes, please keep making them!
Remember, all that jazz is secondary. The first rule of the game is to have an expert grip over your field of work. Whoever got big, whether McGregor, Ilia, Khabib or Alex Pereira. All of them knocked out legends of the sport. All this backstory comes after producing those iconic results in the Octagon.
All of them had a strategy and long term plan to reach where they did. Without these things, you can’t efficiently display your skills consistently to reach the absolute top of your field. Skills are the engine and the “jazz” is the fuel that takes your car to your goal.
Bro tried to sneak khabib there 😂
What legend did he beat to become legend ?
He becomes famous cuz of rivalry with Conor not cuz he beat any goat fighter in the UFC.
@bruhh-m3k so your issue is with khabib being on the list and not Connor? Even though he absolutely ran through Connor?
Illia is the real deal. Im such a fan
He's a beast
This the kind of content that not only covers your favorite fighter but make create plan starting tomorrow ! To change your life !
This channel is Gonna be big the quality is unreal 💥💯💯🔥🔥
Thank you brother
Consistency & High Quality perspectives will make you golden.
Now this is truly gifted UA-cam content creator, everything is on Topuria level, legendary!❤
Glad you enjoyed brother
Insane how English is like his 3rd language but he can still speak it more articulate than 80% of the Americans in the roaster.
He getting humbled by Max 10/26, Tapturo losing that donut
@@LoneRichieif max is able to take his punches of course. We seen him get knocked down his last fight so it’s possible if illias power is true
it's his 5th language. He speaks georgian, spanish, russian, german and english. He even mentioned it in his latest face to face interview with Max
Funny thing is I assume it has nothing to do with language. It’s his mind. He’s sharp
@@aln2546 I agree, Topuria has very impressive combos and knockout power!
Listening to this on the way to my new opened barbershop is peak tier timing. Your page is incredible man
Thank you brother, best of luck. Is it your shop?
@@awarriorphilosophy yes newly opened two weeks ago
@@cametofadehow is it going how much u pay for it?
Good luck mate🎉@@cametofade
@@JGZ00 2500$ a month for rent. So far so good. Hoping I maintain and build more momentum. Fortunately came into this with a comfortable clientele base to keep me going
I started the “Iron Warrior Federation” about 35 years ago and tried to apply this philosophy in martial arts and the business world. It’s what saved me 🙏
Good work brother
Please keep these up. I just turned 20 and videos like these are paving the way for my mental and physical pursuit of success
Max gonna humble Tapturo!
Hell nah, the future legend is here the el matador @@LoneRichie
This channel is gem. Keep grinding man, quality content!
Coming right after his win against Max,I thought the fight was in 2x with the speed he moved and max reacted.
He will tear up the division for years to come.
Nobody calls bro James Bond.
However, he’s the best fighter in the UFC and he’s gonna have the craziest legacy of any fighter ever. The dude is absolute royalty.
It’s the way he carries himself. A few co-workers at my job were kinda saying he carries himself like a Spanish James Bond/Bruce Wayne.
Great video loved the whole part about doing the things you don’t want to do, to get ahead. Very true and applies to so many facets of life
I agree brother thank you for watching
Just discovered this channel and I can’t stop watching these videos, keep it up man. I would say one tweak you could make to these videos is to make a slightly longer outro to give more time to read the final points.
Glad you're hear, thanks for the suggestion my friend

Hey man, never stop creating this kind of content ❤🔥
Thank you for being here brother
Very well made video, gives value. Appreciate your work.
Glad you found value brother
Really good vid , Illia is class. Good inspiration right there . Thx
Ilia is a style icon, a great face for the FW division. Hope he has a long reign. Rooting for you Champ
Btw idk if anybody will see this but if Ilia started the "first 10 seconds bang" on purpose months ago it is absolutely insane , so early into the fight where he can box in the pocket and rip to the body is absolutely his type of fight and even if Max rejects it just makes him look like hes not the BMF
You make great content. Keep up the hard work, it will pay off.
Thank you brother
bro the video is is incredible
Thank you brother, glad you enjoyed
Thank you for this breakdown, truly inspiring
Glad you found value brother
I love your videos bro

Anyway nice video, you're awesome 💪🏻
Appreciate that my friend
Top level stuff
Thank you brother
love this, what is the name of the song at the start?
Impressive video!
Thank you brother
Video on khamzat ❤
Best fighter to grace the octagon imo
That’s a wild opinion
That will be Anderson Silva for a long time. Only guy that was several levels above the competition at his peak.
Cool video dude !
Thank you brother
Never skipping one of these
Let’s go, thank you brother
Great content

Great Video 💯

really good style of video, great quality keep it up 💪🏽!
Glad you enjoyed brother
You gotta do Charles Oliveira, what rules or mindset he lives by everyday
love the voiceover. wish i could turn of the music off.
King!
8:07 This question is very familiar to me. In the book ''subtle art of not giving a f*ck'' he words it like: ''What pain do you want to sustain?''
Most of the time we are in love with the result, but forget there is a path full of shit-heaps and shame beforehand.
Great lesson brother
7:30 thats wrong
If you have THE APPROPRIATE MENTALITY even this "boring work" can become a lot of ADEQUATE FUN, something that will not EXPLODE YOUR DOPAMINE but it WILL GIVE YOU THE RIGHT PLEASURE ALL THE SAME.
I USED HATE GOING OUT FOR A WALK, but when i started focusing ON THE GOOD SIDE OF THIS EXERCISE, i began to notice LESS RESISTANCE ANGAINST IT, i still feel a bit of DIFFICULTY WHEN FACING THE PAIN but by FOCUSING ON THE GOOD SIDE OF THINGS i find the motivation TO DO IT.
BE STOIC!
I love it, good work brother
I'm that person im weak to distractions, time to take action and become more disciplined
Lets go, you got this brother
Another misconception about Topuria that people have is that he's just an aggressive fighter.. Which he isn't, if you look at his older fights he's also a defensive. He just fights every fighter differently based on their weakness.
you're the only James bond here 👌🏻
Tbh I think since English isn’t his first language, his trash talk can come as forced but when he speaks in Spanish it sounds a lot more fluent
damn the opening music is "one more light" !
I don't know for how long he will be able to put up. He gets a lot of head kicks.
Glazzing hard
Don’t make me glaze you
The best
Ilya Illy Topturo
Make a video on Ryan García. BTW huge fan and love your videos
Thank you brother
Joko willink which episode ? If anyone could help me with that
What song is this in the background bro?
I feel to get success in mma or anywhere we should have mindset like ilia
He definitely has many qualities to mirror
3:24 Zung Jung!!!
MOFO be lookin like Dicaprio commentating on MMA lore 😭😭😂🤣😭😭
Thanks?
Max is taking that belt

They are both great fighters. Can't wait to see what happens
