Nice video, I love the short and summarised analysis you make while also going kind of deep into each fighter. Concerning the main event, although at first I want to think it's a 50-50 fight I just can't see Max winning by any other way than fancy footwork and distance managing. And while he's good at maintaining distance, he's also one of the most hittable guys at this level and playing the long distance game for 5 rounds is certainly a difficult thing. Topuria's only weakness is his footwork. He goes too straight and a nice outboxer could frustrate him, but he certainly compensates it with huge pressure and his intimidating power, and has the cardio to chase after Max. I think if Ilia can't put Max to sleep early he will go grappling during the championship rounds, so for me it's either an early KO/TKO or a late submission/gnp finish for Topuria.
With the parlay picks, the odds are just as important as how you feel the fight will go so you have to mention them. Ankalaev is 1/4 to beat Rakic, and in my opinion it’s a 50-50 fight.
Suprised you’re that sure about Rob beating Khamzat. Yes Rob beat Ikram but dude was on 10 days notice and had staph infection. Khamzat was doing things to Usman in that first round I’ve never seen done to Usman. I think Rob is choked out in 1 - 2 rounds
Again, with the terrible stamina myth. Khamzat increased his output in every round vs Burns. He also won round 3 on all the judges scorecards, and all media scorecards except one agreed. He still was able to take down and control Usman in rounds 2 and 3, in close rounds after totally dominating him in round 1. If his stamina was that horrible, he wouldn't have won decisions against Burns and Usman. Also, do you not think that Robs stamina will be affected by having to wrestle hard? It's not like his opponents are allowed to just chill and conserve energy when they're fighting Khamzat, hence why he doesn't get punished and finished in the later rounds against elite opponents (so far). It just goes from domination to 50-50.
Khamzat has never looked particularly good after a first round in his career and has never seen a 4th round. He’s sickly, one dimensional, and unexperienced. Rob will cook him if it leaves the second, could cook him earlier tbh
@randomth1ngs68 I think you mean that he hasn't looked dominant. He hasn't looked particularly bad either. He's still effective and can win rounds. Can't blame anyone for picking Rob, but it's simplistic and false that Khamzat can't be competitive past round 1. This is also the first camp (to my knowledge) where he's done the entire camp at high elevation, and he's spoken about how he no longer overtrains, so I think his cardio should look better than ever in this fight. We've also heard most of the fighters who have trained with him praising his cardio, even Jiri, who dislikes him. If you're running a 300m race and sprint 100% the first 100m, of course, you will run slower in the final 200m.
@@JoeSmith-we3jw it might, but Khamzat did look bad in round 2 in Usman and Burns and horrible in round 3 of Usman. Usman did too but he has excuses. Less then two week notice and up a weight class on a loss streak
@randomth1ngs68 Yet he was still able to come back and increase his output and pressure Burns round 3 to win the fight. And still able to take down and control Usman for a pretty sizeable part of round 3. One judge had him winning round 2 vs Usman, one had him winning round 3, and one had Usman winning both for a draw. I wouldn't really count him out of being able to win a decision. It will be interesting how he approaches the game plan and pacing this fight.
@@factuallysomename one finish at fw in the last 5 years and it’s against a washed tkz 🤣 if he can’t finish kattar or Rodriguez then he’s not gonna ko ilia who has an iron chin
@@maxashelford4747 "When has Holloway EVER finished anyone at featherweight" stop moving the goal post buddy, I answered your question and it's very clear Holloway still has KO power. Holloway has had plenty of finishes. 😂
@@factuallysomename you got shut down and now your coping 😂 max hasn’t had finishes against decent guys since Obama was president. Idc what he did 7 years ago he’s a different fighter now and clearly has little capacity to finish guys at fw
@@factuallysomename I’m just saying that UFC 300 is way way better than 308. If Gaethje v. Max didnt happen yet, I think we all would be more interested in that than Ilia Topuria. Besides Whitaker v Chimaev which will be a sick fight, i think every fight on 300 besides the co-main tops every fight onthe main card of 308. Dont even get me started on the prelims lmao
@@HockeyxLlama Well I think he was just saying it's second to 300. But regardless Illia is a better (theoretically since it didn't happen yet) matchup because for 1, it's for a real belt, for 2, Gaethje wasn't as good as Topuira, and for 3 it's a more challenging stylistic matchup for Holloway. As for the prelims, tbf they are arguably top 10 prelims in UFC history. But yeah 300 is better.

“Holloway looks like he’s having a bad weightcut”
Sit back, have a snack and enjoy Hoppero's youtube video.
Stop your reminding me of sss coryxkenshin😞
my exact thoughts
14:40 the far cry primal cracked me up
We'll find out October 26 bruddah
The best part: ITS NOT 3 IN THE FUCKING MORNING
Not for you
Holloway will shock you just like in 300
same could be said to topuria man...
@@S3V1ET_N1NJA trust me on this watch on October 26th
Aside from maybe Merab vs Sean and Grasso vs Shevchenko, this is the only title fight that’s considered a 50/50
I think topuria is better fighter but those who act like max has 0 chance is dumb
80% people are picking Max anyways. No shock coming.
Parlay addition was sick. Great job
Lets. Go. Hoppero.
21:57 lerone Murphy beat himself
He’s just like me fr
i like the confidence scale at the end
weird noise at 27:22
Man Silva vs Weidman was such a disgraceful fight. Weidman's post fight press conference was especially bad
i like the keys to victory, keep using it
Here now since Topuria KO’ed Holloway

Anyone who thinks hamzat lost to burns is a 🤡
I think Khamzat wins, but the only thing why he wins was that Burns knockdown in the first round, otherwise i would give it 2-1 to Burns😅

first round finish for me or second round leaning towards first for topuria, and chimaev beats Whittaker via decision
Topuria by submission round 3
Remember what Ruziboev did to Ferreira?
