Ilia Topuria has high fight IQ. The guy was able to change his game plan against the Ryan Hall mid fight. First he didn't engage with him on the ground and then he did and knocked him out. Kept the other guy and the commentators guessing. I think Volk is the stronger fighter and can outwrestle him. If he decides to do that, like he did against the mexican in last defense.
The only reason we are even saying this is because ilia is the only one of Alex's title fights , in which the opponent hasn't faced max Holloway. Love volk to death, but hope ilia wins only for the reason that the division needs to be shaken up.
Definitely. The only part I am worried about Ilia is his ability to get back up after a takedown because Max did that really well against Volk and then tagged him in their 2nd fight. After a few takedown defenses like that, Volk will be forced to engage and that’s where Topuria does his best work.
Your video is very very good , And my prediction, is topuria k baski nhi h he will get tired after round 2 and then volkanovaski will finish him in 3rd or 4th round
Topuria got speed and age on his side, there’s no denying …but the fight IQ that volk possesses is not matchable with the competition topuria has faced in ufc
for sure bro. Topuria has a chance of catching him in the pocket or subbing him when rocked, not much else. It will be an amazing fight, these UFC cards are delivering this year 🔥🔥
Disagree bro. Ilia ko apna profile change karna hi padega.😂😂 Log uska Emmett wala performance itna hype kar rahe hai. But forgot what Alex did to Yair, who finished Emmett in 2 rounds, what ilia couldn't in 5. Please don't pick against volk, for this el Kamino.
I’m not discrediting. He’s good but a tad overrated. Volk’s boxing is equally technical imo. And Ilia does throw looping shots a lot. I feel like a lot of MMA guys have this problem. Someone like O’Malley would sleep this dude. Far more crisp boxing. That straight right would run through his chin
