[@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260]

I don't know why people keep saying this. Volk was going down with that punch regardless of his previous fights. And volk wasn't out for a single second in the Islam fight, he was knocked down not out.

[@Vagdinox]

@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260 Oh boy that Punch would have never landed on pre Islam Volk, what happened to Volk is the same that happened to Reyes he went from being potencially better than Jon Jones to now be a random after the steal once a fighter loses and his mental invincibility armour leaves their body they start doubting themselfs and they lose all their confidence and in fighting not being confident that you can beat the person in front of you is terrible you are hesitating you move less you overthink a lot more and you get caught

[@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260]

[@1206-d7w]

Topuria winning against Volk was a big thing, he is allowed to talk and try to sell his image. But beating Holloway was easy, Max is very mid fighter. So there was no reason to focus on Max cuz that was a free win. And I agree 100% with Islam saying he need to focus first on a real challenger like Movsar who would probably beat his ass and if he doesn't, then he can think about Islam because he would've officially have conquered the featherweight division and can look upwards.

I feel like there's not any real disrespect. Both Islam and Ilia have a sense of mutual respect and have acknowledged the other as good fighters. Obviously, this is a competitive sport and both men are trying to be the best which is why there is a bit of tension. However, I don't consider this a beef. There's no actual hate, just competitive energy against the two.

[@sameerkf]

Illia should hope Usman doesn't cut down to debut in the UFC at 145, as it could spell the end of Illia's run in the division.

Interesting ! All Ilia is saying is that he is the best period ! Why is he expected to wait for his turn to speak ? He wants to fight the best ! And if he calls you out , hey , you're the best ! Don't let the rhetoric of any fight divide any of you ! You are all family , fighting for a living . So you speak to attract the best and here we are ! After Holloway , he wants Islam . And if his words come into fruition , well he deserves to fight Islam next ! Deep pocket fight !

Illia has no idea what he is asking for, kinda like Connor didn't know what he was asking for when talking crap about Khabib and then he just demolished Connor - I see the same outcome if not worse.

[@truthreignsforever9286]

He’s a fighter my man! He should call everybody out. He’s not a you tube content provider as you are. He doesn’t make you tube videos. He makes fights. I appreciate that he calls out the best so we can pay to see the best. This is what it’s all about. Calling people out isn’t disrespect as long as you’re respectful as Illia is. And why shouldn’t he be proud and confident after beating Volk? Why shouldn’t he feel he can beat anyone after beating Volk? I commend Illia and stand behind hm inviting any/all to fight him. What is annoying is that you feel that isn’t what a fighter ought to do? You’re not a fighter and don’t understand the grit and thirst for battle real warriors have inside them to challenge themselves to the utmost? This is the only reason why I see you unable to relate to Illia? You’re not a fighter, but you tube content provider.

[@sachyamgyawali1127]

I think it is be a super fight. However before that illia needs to have one or two wins depending on which fashion he gets a W against Max.
