He's the best in the Bizz

I was thinking the same, amazing how he remembers every detail

Came here to say that! Best in the biz fashoo!

he's soooooo good!!

not really. He did not translate all the insults that Illia said 😂

just that not everyone is that convinced

fake it to make it and all that! difference Volk dont gotta fake it

@@Alapahauk’Where your world ends mine will start’ - Ilia ‘El Matador’ Topuria 2024 UFC Featherweight Champion 🌹🏆

@@jayd1nero see you Sunday my dude, Volk will make you eat those words

@@Alapahauk oh trust me I’ll be back 😉

Seriously I don't understand why more people don't think about that? That's why I think it's weird when people overreact about press conferences because 90% of the time it's the same boring thing. I know this is divisive but that's why I found aspects of Sean O'malley refreshing when he does dorky not serious content sometimes almost mocking the seriousness & boring repetitive aspects of this sport and the UFC media. I mostly enjoy that his fights are exciting with refreshing skills. I only mentioned that because I felt like that stuff was relevant to the point you made.

Well they are professionals. Part of being a pro is that you have to do boring tasks again and again like at any job. Sure its boring and gets old quick but you gonna do what you gonna do and its not like they have to do all year round. Just a few days before the fight. Got used to it.

Maybe they’d get more interesting questions if Dana let real journalists have their credentials.

@@user-mj4il2rw4u”real journalist” lmao

They get paid ~ 5k-25k for media obligations

@@lukethomasprteamso he laughs and you think he’s getting ko? 😂

He did cuz he won

​@@lukethomasprteamsay what now?

@@TonyZmex No wonder buddy it's not like I made this comment 3 days before...

@@TimelineBeatsyou better did not comment at all. Being you - I would be very shameful now.

photographic memory? some of these translatord are just incredible honestly, I wonder if someone transcribes it on a computer and reads it through the ear piece too. Theres a portuguese translator who does it incredibly with post fight interviews

@@crazzynezI speak Portuguese and a lot of these translators just summarize stuff in their own words, sometimes they even ruin cool lines. Their is also very good ones, but some are ass

Thank you

👍👍👍

It was a crazy long dialouge to remember!😮

He’s the best translator in all sports dude is so good

Agreed, I think Volk will win but Topuria just turned 27 years old so he will be around for a while.

Volk will not keep the belt watch 😢

Volk is gonna destroy this guy. As a father in my 30s illia needs to humble himself alot. His confidence is coming of as dosrespectful

​@@mhutch5082Volk fail

Just like Yair said the dude is delusional.. Rude awakening coming his way!

Lmao, almost finished Islam? He catched him as he was looking for a takedown, then in the ground he didn’t hit him clean once.

@@nano8453 bro Islam won the fight. BUT if the round was just a tiny bit longer he would’ve finished Islam. Im not meat riding volk here I had Islam winning both and been following him since tbh e Bobby green fight

“Almost finished Islam” 😂😂😂 that almost doesn’t count m, and he didn’t even land one clean shot, just spammed pillow punches that got partially blocked

Nothing wrong with that. U can start worrying when you ARE lying on the ground and get your face smashed in long enough 😂 but I see your point don't worry. All I want is a BANGER FIGHT 🔥

Exactly can’t go up there with fear or doubt he needs this confidence and arrogance

agree 100

That is true, i think his parents are rich

No, just look at him before UFC, but after UFC he got so famous in Spain, he has being in all of the most famous ​Spanish shows and is getting huge money from sponsors, the guy and his team are really good doing PR @@felixarcia7117

​@@felixarcia7117JAJAJA, que sus padres son ricos, se nota que no sabes nada sobre Ilia 😂, el chico tuvo que trabajar en 4 sitios a la vez para pagarse sus entrenamientos.

@@felixarcia7117hell nah fake sources he came up fighting and got support from his parents but he already had fought before and kept fighting his last fight vs Emmett he had a solid fight purse

He finished 2 out of 5 defences , if Ortega's corner didn't cheat they would've stopped the fight in the 3rd , they almost had a doctor stoppage in the 3rd Holloway fight , he dusted tkz , he koed mendes , 3 finishes but couldve been 5

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@JustinJasper-xo8gsYeah, Max has never even been dropped so that’s not representative of his power and he was only submitted once in his entire career when he was 20 years old and making his UFC debut against a young Poirier. Topuria also said he was going to finish Emmett in R1 and went five rounds with him. He’s got solid power but it’s nothing crazy.

He already looks like Travis junior from Reno 911 lol.

He won

So did Topuria

So did Ilia

​@@Thjrjrnem3kjen4brntopuria would get whooped by yair , would lose to max 4 out of 3 times , would lose to Mendes and aldo , you guys are delirious 😂😂😂😂

@@JustinJasper-xo8gs lol you throw Mendes in there?

@@mwolf9868 Mendes only lost to featherweight champions lol wym throw

theres a massive difference between being confident and being OVERCONFIDENT AND DELUSION

​@@GXDSXwhere's the delusion and overconfident if it's true? 🤣

​@@GXDSXVolk had the AUDACITY to say he'd be ready to fight for UFC 300 despite the outcome of this fight. That kind of sounds like overconfidence and delusion to me. And WHERE did Volk's overconfidence get him? Knocked unconscious in the second round LOL

@@GXDSX your delusional

100% agree, it makes this fight all the more exciting. The dood has backed himself into a corner, and yet appears to feel no pressure. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, or he has taken something from one Connor back in his upcoming days

Volk 50-45. Make him look weak and silly.

Brain dead take

​@@OLBKwhat happened?

​@@OLBKWell somebody looked weak and silly, and it wasn't Ilia LOL

That is a fact almost everyone misses, he feels really legit, he is not only saying that just to talk (like colbyntong), he truely believes it, and you can feel it in his eyes... He has been training for this fight since August 2023, and all his coaches have studied volk deep down, and he is a very good wrestler and grappler... A friend of him "alvaro Kolmenero" stated he was able to take down khamzat chimaev in a sparring... idk, maybe its all crap or maybe he will leave wordless everyone on saturday

CELINE

Yes 2+2=7 if you are spanish

He also said Alex is PAST HIS PRIME. So, to be fair, Ilia's not totally delusional: he understands that 2-4 years ago, he WOULD NOT have said the same things he is now saying about Alex, where the champ is concerned. Even Tuporia KNOWS skills, experience, etc. Alex has it more than he himself. But he also knows he is PEAKING, physically and skill wise, whereas the once dominant champ has lost 50% of his last 4 fights. Making excuses like "Yeah, well but..." No, Alex INTENDED to win every one of his last 4 fights. But FACT IS, he lost two of them. THAT is an indication Alex has plateaued off and is declining, even if it's just by a few percentages. That's enough for a peaking guy 8 years younger to take over... If exceptionally once-dominant Nunez, Valentina, Usman, Izzy et al. hadn't plateaued out, hadn't declined, just a bit, it wouldn't have been possible for them to be beaten, as they were beaten... Ilia is working from, seeing things from.... THAT angle. And that is an exceptionally refined and sound angle to work from, whether you KZfaq experts agree with Ilia or not...

do not underestimate Josh E he has massive ko power. Josh could be ufc champ

Past his prime? what are you talking about lmao. He has won like 22 in a row and only lost on 9 days notice. His only loss was Islam and most people had him winning the first fight. Sit down lol lol@@kiabtoomlauj6249​

Ilia was saying that he was gonna defeat volkanovski years ago, he wanted to fight Volkanovski right after the Yair Rodriguez fight, that tells you everything about his confidence​@@kiabtoomlauj6249

volk round 4... get that nonsense out of your head

😛😝🤣😂👆👍👌✌️☝️

​@@Alapahauknow go cry because Volk got KO by Topuria

😂😝😛👌👍👆✌️☝️

Lmaoo totally agree

Then Volk got smoked by Ilia

Cause Topuria will be the champ !

I’m glad he’s fighting volk right now. He’s on the eclipse of his prime. I’d prefer seeing him fight the almost best version of volk rather than a declining one later

Max has volume not power

Pillow hands Holloway ain't got no power

👆✌️☝️👍👍👌

Yeah, he beat a couple of fringe guys and then beat up Emmet, who is a beneficiary of a trough in the depth of the FW division. Not exactly a stellar resume and Topuria hasn't really looked good in anything he has done. Jai Herbert had him all over the place, for god's sake.

"I really hope Volk humbles this guy" and just like that, weight bully Volk gets knocked into retirement LOL

@@jzugel60 did you say something?

@@TheBillaro It's understandable you couldn't see my response. It's probably pretty hard to read your screen through all the tears

Pride is before a crash… he does come across as a person you don’t want as a friend.

And that right hand came across that chin too 🗿😭

22 likes for a stupid comment like that… what a bunch of losers

Volk fail

In a BIG HEAD Competition. He is cringe AF too.

He better win, hes putting a lot of pressure on himself by making all these predictions and trying to be like McGregor. If he loses hes going to make himself seem a fool.

He'll take the same path as Mc'Gregor, expect Volk will represent Diaz 1

just look at Ilia’s skills man, the dude is massively talented

he is but he is trying the Mc'Gregor route and we all know where that ends up.... Volk will represent Diaz 1 as it was to McGregor@@Bill_Dippertly

​@@Alapahaukvolk is Aldo

But he didn’t clown

*Jai Herbert. He took the fight UP a weight classs on short notice because he couldn't get a fight in the division. Context is key

Casi.....nunca vivas del casi.... 😅

This was perfectly placed headkick to the chin by much more taller fighter. Styles making fights, you know..

Did you see what happened to Herbert in that fight?

He is too slick and elusive. He won’t have a mark on him

HAHAHA @@elfuego4249

Volk's fans are delusional af. Illia always leave a fight looking fresh. Can't say the same for Volk

He talked himself into having a lot to lose... I reaallly hope he at least gives Volk a hard fight. I would be overjoyed if he walks through Volk though. Just think, just think about the drama of Topuria as a insurmountable villain of UFC. Just calmly talking down to every fighter, and absolute monsters dreaming of 'humbling' him but never doing so.

Maybe max now after volk recovers for awhile

@@FlyRizzleDizzle max is about to have a blood bath with justin in april. That fight probably wont happen soon

@@persianposer you're right who really knows. Maybe yair takes care of Ortega in stunning fashion and he's next

@@FlyRizzleDizzle i hope so. stylistically would love to see that matchup

*Will be humbled SAT night, he is EASY MONEY for champp, Ilia is easy work for Volk!* All MONEY on VOLK!

Be serious, man, don't be casual. 😅

Let’s see guys :))). I like Volk he is one of my favorite fighter, but i liked Tony el cucui too - what is record now? New Era is coming for Ilia. 🌹 If Topuria wouldn’t be champ on UFC298 I think he will be champ some day.
