@@backbone93 he does the homework too, that's how he found the knockout, he didn't fought Emmett like he fought Volk, and he didn't fought Volk like he fought Max, is not JUST confidence, he has a gameplan, he has conviction, something most fighters don't have.

@MarcosPerez-wx1fx2 ай бұрын
As a teenager, I instantly hated anyone who spoke with that level of confidence. Over time, I've learned to respect them. Yes, there are arrogant and disrespectful fighters, but Ilia doesn't strike me as one of them. People say he's a copy of Connor, but he doesn't really go around insulting anyone or messing with their families, he's just brutally confident and honest.
