Ilia Topuria Is Terrifying “Max Could Be In Deep Trouble” | Joe Rogan

[@IamH24]

Topuria is not Gathje or who ever you guys are trying to compare him with. Ilia is simply a different monster.

[@inderjeetsingh6136]

Max can handle him

[@ByTexify]

Based on what kid, having one good win against Volk 2 months after he got KOd by Makhachev?

[@yntng]

​@@inderjeetsingh6136 I mean like in what area of skills will Max handle him ? 😂 boxing and ground no fucking chance then what height only ? Gaethje was never a smart fighter all his life he is a casualty but Ilia is. Volks beat Max on stand up 3 times. I think you are out of mind.

[@IamH24]

Max fans are all in denial. Any realist would look at both fighters skill for skill and the difference is simply night and day. Max KOd an already buttered 🧈 Justin Gaethje and somehow he hopes he can do the same to Ilia. Ilia has a chin my friend.

[@Tufarock]

​@IamH24 I'm a max fan but he's definitely not winning this one

[@bangkao8073]

Topuria have one of the best boxing skill in the UFC history.

[@kisenamekaze7889]

Facts

[@samuelbrown3326]

ilia is going to win simply due to the styles. A lot of people think topuria is just a boxer but forget he’s an elite greco roman wrestler with good bjj as well. He can easily go with a wrestle heavy approach until they get to the fences and that power is devastating

[@hmsp7799]

@ColdeusOnTwitchmax gonna get put unconscious

[@Jennz777]

nope. No bjj or wrestling. Hes just an excellent striker thats all. He will get exposed real soon.

[@KevinFelipe-z5r]

Thing is Topuria could get that Dagestani style of just constant pressuring with takedowns until he pushes them towards the cage, to start landing those shots that always knock out his opponents

[@BreadCrispy]

Ilia's fighting IQ is just amazing. I don't like the dude, but he's gonna win whether we like it or not.

[@kisenamekaze7889]

Correct

[@markmontana3206]

The scariest thing about Topuria is that he would easily win every fight using his wrestling, but he decided instead to prove his striking with same result 😮

You think ilia hits harder than Gaethje? Ilia couldn't even knock out Josh Emmett.

[@SHERMA.]

@@jor1466 i dont think ilia hits or kicks harder than gaejthe but i do think hes more accurate and might land 10+ big hits on maxs unbreakable chin. wouldnt be suprised if the 4th or 5th big one from ilia drops max, we have seen granite chins in boxing get broken after multiple big blows. i do think ilia will get jabbed up big time while trying to find his big hook against the cage tho

[@Luis-e3e8b]

Evolev is a higher contender than Lopes. Lopes is just more exciting, and marketable so he will be pushed over Movsar. I will rather watch an Ilia fight against Lopes also jaja However, if this was real sport, Evolev with be the fight to make!

[@AWhistlingWolf]

@@Luis-e3e8b "Jaja" Te pillé, hermano hispanohablante 😆 Pero tienes razón, Evloev sería buen rival para Topuria. Yo espero que Topuria se enfrente a Evloev y Lopes ANTES de luchar por el título de Peso Ligero.

[@JoelGarciaLleonart]

​@@AWhistlingWolf por su bien debería enfrentar por lo menos a uno de los dos antes de subir a por islam para ganar más experiencia ya que solo tendría 16 peleas profesionales. Lopes me parece un buen emparejamiento porque tiene muy buen jiu jitsu y un striking que va mejorando pelea tras pelea. Ahora bien, conociendo la personalidad de ilia yo creo que hará todo lo posible para enfrentarse a islam aunque también se sabe que el año que viene quiere pelear en España y esto presenta dos problemas: primero que no creo que islam quiera pelear en Madrid y segundo que no creo que la ufc quiera jugársela haciendo en un país nuevo un evento de tal calibre que les haría perder muchos ppv por la diferencia horaria pq no creo que ilia quiera pelear de madrugada como Aspinal.

[@ZVvereVvolf]

This is his first title defense you dope.

[@auguste17]

Joey was right. Topuria is a beast

[@EJsGameGalaxy]

the thing that makes Ilia so dangerous is his technique and when you combine that w some crazy power then you have a recipe for a dangerous ass fighter.

Realistically.. Topuria doesn't get punched. he always moves his head clean. and he is a sniper.. Max throws a lot of punches hoping that it'll land.. and he doesn't move around like ilia does.. so see Ilia catching Max, but i don't See Max Catching Ilia.. and i aslo see that ilia can take a ground game and defeat Max there... so Realistically, ilia is Favorite.. but it's an MMA fight so anything can happen in an instant. i'm gonna say Ilia tho. Max is a great dude. i like him very much.

[@David-jn2dx]

pretty sure max has one of the greatest distance management so i think he does move around like ilia does. I also believe max has one of the highest significant strikes landed so i can see max catching liia. I also think the way ilia fights he just pressures you and waits till he gets you to the cage and starts to unleash his combinations. max tends to circle himself away from the cage. so should be a very good fight
