Ilia Topuria Just Knocked Out Alexander Volkanovski & Life Is Cruel Again. My Reaction 

He also predicted Volks ego being his downfall long ago, leading to these 2 KO losses

@@lanceanthony198 he also predicted he gets koed again in the rematch, dude I'm getting nervous

Thats not why he got knocked out though, he opened up for no reason against the cage and got caught

Lucas watches all the fights and can see some of these openings . Called it for a reason and ilia was the underdog 😮 credit to tracey

Crazy how you dont even know what youre watching

Power of a boxing foundation. It annihilates MMA strikers.

@@mason9807tuck your chin and get your hands up(every boxing trainer I’ve been trained by)

It's almost as crazy as seeing Max slumped over lifelessly will be once either Justin or Ilia cracks his chin.

yeah if max plays the same he sleepin cuh, but justin also has no more chin i guess one of them gonna go down

sadly

Did you listen to why Ilia was "willing" to go 5 rounds against Josh and not going aggressively for a KO punch as what he did to Alex? Josh has that kind of one-punch and you're gone, too. So, Ilia said, as a result, he was holding back. But against Volks --- and this was said BEFORE he fought him --- that he would march Alex down regardless waht the former great champ was doing... because while extremely strong, too, Volks doesn't do those out-and-out one-punch and you're gone punches... It is not Volks method/approach. So, Ilia said, SOUNDLY, that he's willing to get hit a few times, or more, to land one of his big ones. Because he understood, like most (those who favored him and those who went against him), that he likely wouldn't beat Volks by doing point scoring for 5 rounds. He understood he must KO Alex, or hurt him enough to go down to sub him on the mat...

He didn't survive he got btfu by illia😂😂

He got 50-43ed, thats as bad as getting KOed.

Different style, different fight. Emmett one punch KO you in an exchange, so Ilia showed more respect and didn’t take as many chances. He said it before this fight that he felt more comfortable pulling the trigger vs Volk cause he’s not a KO puncher.

The Marvin Vettori of Featherweight

That guy who headbutted Charles had no idea he would help Ilia win a world title lol

I fucking hate Oliveira now

@@durfin955don’t hate him volk could have just turned down these fights

​@@anshumankrishnan2085 Exactly, someone said in other video that people think Topuria was delusional when in reality the only delusional man was Volk, he shouldn't have accepted that fight on Short notice and fight this early. He is the only guy to blame 🫡

Honestly tho I feel like topuria would've still beaten volk even if he didn't take that Islam rematch

Loooool

Stop

One win doesn’t erase hundreds of dead wrong predictions

“Merab is a poor man’s Aljo” “DDP has a better chance of becoming president than beating Whittaker” Etc. I could go on for a very long time

​@@jdw2592 he had literally the worst predictions but this prediction and the leon colby prediction were on point. Looks like he slowly learns how this sport works

How was the crowd reaction? Lol

@@nachowarrior1 It was almost silent with some people saying "nooooo". Compared to when Whittaker won and the whole place went completely crazy with applause and cheers.

@@dynamic283look at the bright side you are from Australia and it’s highly likely a giant snake bites you in the dick or a crocodile eats your newborn and it seems that isn’t the case, always look at the bright side !

😂😂😅

How you guys did not see that happening? Volk got KOed only 3 months ago, he should've taken his time for a KO artist like Topuria.

😂😂😂

Honestly 😭

​@@maelyswega3045This the Volk Cope Blokes section 😅😢😢.

so much better than the loud and obnoxious guru

@@ggthewhale u can smell guru through the computer

i agree he's funny and acts like a regular person unlike guru. guru is one of those people that act like a caricature of a person and thinks it's funny.

@@nikajaliashvili1346 that caveman stank

What you guys think about mma joey?

Holloway being brutally robbed in the second volkanovski fight was more painful that’s just fair

​​@@JulioEuropePharmaVendorI'm a Holloway fan. That wasn't a robbery. You're judging by damage done throughout the course of the fight instead of looking at it round by round

@@JulioEuropePharmaVendorvolk won round by round lol from 3-5

Really? More than reyes being robbed?

@@user-bu3zp8xw7l YES!

ferguson is done💀

Then induct them both to the HoF at the same time with BJ Penn handing out the award.

Love tony but currently no amount of losses could make Volk lose to tony

Idk if Tony's around for even 1 more fight

Lol

Volk is polish.

Volk is jewish

@@mr.ditkovich6379Volk is Macedonian.

If you're a bison...why would you not trade kicks with a mere horse ?

Yes. He keeps the same energy and logic regardless of bias.

If you are fighting at a rate like Izzy and volk, u are definitely gonna be beaten soon....they fight like 3 times a year, which is both mentally and physically exhausting

Different situation, Izzy took a break strategically to let someone else beat Strickland, so he can return to a more winnable title fight. If he rematches Sean and lost twice his legacy and career are over, instead now he can swoop in and catch a short notice Dricus

The narrative was that he was going to take almost 4 years off. 9-12 months is understandable.

@@ruin3rdumb take especially because Izzy was technically more active than Volk was. Flawed logic exposing your inability to separate feelings from facts

​@@ChucksSEADnDEAD He said himself that that was a joke And let's be real Who actually believed that he will take 4 years off and come back when he is 38🤨

Josh Emmett can KO anyone in the division but I get your point

@@Giorginho He can but because of the skill gap just like in the Topuria fight I would expect Volk to outclass him. But his falling off

@@DuslamPorichevis that a transfusion of Merab and khamzat in your profile pic ? Scary stuff dude

@@JulioEuropePharmaVendorbro it’s khamzat and stipe

I always thought stylistically short power punchers could be nightmare for Volk, since Volk developed his unique style for taller opponents but leaves that chin open for short opponents, he didn't fight someone like that until Topuria. Emmett can do that too but Emmett isn't as skilled as Topuria.

Mystic Tracy

Tracey the mystic pigmy*

Sucks that it happened with his favorite fighter

He also think Volk beats Khabib 🤣

Mark my words…volk will get koed by neon on misfits in a few years

​@@goofygoof212I'll actually take my own life if that happens.

@@hailacrunch4937agreed

1 right 100 wrong...what's your point again ?

Holloway was literally never on a long championship run. If I'm not mistaken he was only ever even interim champ.

Dont matter how good a fighter is, if they fight long enough they will lose. The best, they tried to fight the best when they are in their prime compare to regular fighters who just wants to stay in their comfort zone.

@@mattbarker1411he has 3 official defenses brother

​@@mattbarker1411 wasn't a massive run but you think he only won an interim belt? That's some casual statement 😂

​@mattbarker1411 at least do a little research before embarrassing yourself 🤦‍♂️

The real Background of topuria is Wrestling and grappling, in fact is better than his striking.

Topuria did stuff a half hearted take down attempt from Volk. But Volk didn’t seem interested in grappling.

@@alhaymon4539volk was scared you can tell, ilia is the only person outside of Islam who posed an actual threat with wrestling and BJJ volk wanted no part of ilia’s ground game

The grappling would’ve made it worse, Topurias entire background is in wrestling, he learned striking late on, regardless topuria would win

​@@flamevoid9162Didnt he get outgrappled by Bryce until he rocked Bryce?

I noticed that too. Maybe he made an exeption since it was volk?

They always interview the main event losers

To be fair he seemed fairly centered in the moment. When he interviewed DC... that was a bad call.

I remember the opposite that he used to do that then he interviewed DC and realized it was a dick move and stopped but now I guess he’s doing it again?

@@extracrispy9229 As i recall it started efter Stipe ko'ed Overeem. During the interview after Overeem said that he belived Stipe had tapped to a sub and the audience started booing. Joe felt afterwards that he had put Overeem in a bad spot since his brain was still fussy and decided to stop interviewing ko'ed fighters. But he did it again after DC got headkicked by Jones. I remember Joe talking about it saying he was sorry for that.

Then life must be pretty good for you man

haha

Is it because it reminded you that your physical prime is behind you, and you are a mortal being?

@@syphonunfiltered I'm sure that yes, that's the reason why

Also I watched him going top, coming up and putting so much hard work. And we all see what happened to tony ferguson, now we all see whats coming for him. Tony would absolutely crush paddy now he became a laughing stock. I can see why khabib retired in a ‘early age’ just its rule of nature. When time comes same will happen ilia noone is exception.

Onggg 😂

Look at the poor boy he surely hasn’t sleept full on Adderall

Nah it wasn’t the casuals giving him 0 chance, the initial narrative was Ilia was gonna run through Volk because of the recent KO loss, then Volk fans started retaliating cuz people forgot how skilled Volk is, but in the end Ilia was as good as he said he is.

The "we got Connor McGregor from Temu" act tends to get people humbled, and dude was calling himself the champ way ahead of proving himself. It just so happened that Topuria really is Him and his confidence was warranted. It rarely happens, most why go down that path are just delusional.

Ilia isn’t a better boxer, Volk is washed up that’s like claiming Belfort is better boxer than Holyfield.

@@DADRB0B55ilia is absolutely a better boxer than volk

@@isaacramirez2098tkz went out like a G , and Max was very respectful in the fight. I personally don't want to see Max take that fight and get flatlined for nothing

Yair boxing is sus

i think evloev has a good chance

great input!

true

@@user-om2se8mc3x 1 he’s been champ for long enough to not need to work anymore as long as he is living intelligently. 2 most fighter who stop fighting don’t wind up fucking homeless they get work in and around the sport; they do commentary or host shows for the UFC or become trainers for the next generation of fighters. 3 this isn’t like normal jobs not even hard manual labor jobs give wear and tear like fighters get it’s a health risk continuing at this point.

@@user-om2se8mc3x I have to assume your trolling because your just disagreeing with me without providing any actual reason as to why I’m wrong. if your not trolling and actually don’t share my opinion I would appreciate it if you explained your view because I am genuinely interested why you don’t agree with my points. I could be wrong and if I am I’d like to actually hear how.

He entered my top 5 best boxers 1. JDM 2. poirier 3. yan 4. topuria 5. volk

His just a smug punk who got lucky

​@BlueprintGB-gz5qq not the worst list, but JDM no. 1?

@@gtt842815-0, got lucky all 15 fights? No luck in fights bud

@@gtt8428keep coping

true, Lucas overestimated him on his performance against dehydrated Islam makhchev {which he deserves the credit}....but comeon mannn this guy makes all his opinions on basis of only 1 performance, tbh volk might not have beaten top 5 LW currently given the stylistic matchup

people glaze volk too much man. ilia, gaethje and leon would ko volk and guys like chandler, dustin and charles would’ve given volk a run for his money.

Exactly bro he did well but I rewarded the fight and it's a clear win for islam in the best ever circumstances for volk ever and he still didn't do much in my opinion except the 5th round really. I honestly think anyone who hits hard gives this guy a problem He is overrated as fuzk and Tracy always riding off the 1 flippen with against Islam as you say

I genuinely believe every top 5 lightweight beats volk man Having 0 fear of what comes back at you is such a strong weapon and before they say" ahhh he dropped Islam" that was dehydrated gassed Islam bro. I just don't think volk is as good as Tracy ever said he was. And today proved it

This man relied as well on having a good chin to eat all these shots He gets hit a lot bro Rolling with head kicks? You kidding me bruh And I know a lot of fighters rely on their chin but volks defense has always been questionable Yes father time caught him but I think regardless of which volk you bring Ilia always sleeps him and so does all the top 5 light weights

Interesting opinion

You’re right, Volk will never stop fighting like Tony no matter what, sad to see him go on like this

How is his legacy already ruined? He's only got one loss at Featherweight. Still the goat featherweight

Wtf you talking about? Tony will always be a legend and so will Volk, it's just insane to read shit like this from people with no memory.

@@RationalLlamadon’t be delusional he has 4 title defenses which he wouldn’t even had if the second Holloway fight wasn’t the biggest robbery in ufc title history . Aldo is the featherweight goat and we all know it

Completely agree

He’s not beating max

max is whooping that ass

Guru has a huge ego now, completely unwatchable

Plus he's a beautiful man

Idk any objective viewer would agree that Izzy was comfortably winning that first fight outside of the finishing sequence from Pereira but I kind of see what you mean bro

topuria has a grappler-wrestling background, idk but probably can't do much

Difference is Ilia can wrestle, Yair got bullied on the ground by a flyweight-sized Frankie so of course Volk would do that to him.

@ruin3r You mean the 155lb champion, NCAA D1 wrestler & 3rd degree black belt in BJJ Frankie Edgar ?

⁠@@DADRB0B55he was extremely undersized for 155

@@ChimpRevolution What "curse"? only clowns believe in that goofy sh. He just knows nothing abt MMA.

It's true it was very fast, the same thing happened to me, at normal speed it was almost impossible to see, how could it be?

Title defenses aren't everything. Volks competition was way better than aldos.

@@MASTRA1volk gets knocked out way better than Aldo too

Casual comment. 😂 Numbers don't provide the context of the quality of competition or circumstances. You'll learn as you grow up son.

Aldo defended his belt 7 times. The other 2 are WEC defenses

@@GeneralXalyou do know WEC divison is exact same as UFC. Lol they were the same fighters literally.

Volk needs to retire before it turns into the ferguson phone.

Show

He's a bum.... everyone apart from volk,max,ilia is a bum in featherweight....no wonder a 1 dimensional fighter like max is undefeated if u remove volk....zero relentless wrestlers like belal, khabib, khamzat,colby....ortega is just a bjj guy, yair thinks throwing weird shit makes him good, korean zombie was mediocre and emmett is throw and hope
