This man is going to reign for a very long time. His boxing is on another level. He's very good on the ground (he can wrestler and grapple) and he has high fight I.Q. He always follows his game plans without any panic and he's very patient. His nickname is 'El Matador' but in the cage, he is the bull. He's always going forward in a menacing manner. In general, dude is SCARY! 😂😂 And the commentator called him Topurua. What the hell?! 😂😂 His name is not that complicated. Anyone who can read English could pronounce it.

As long as the feed him strikers that will make it interesting. I think max will put point him. I think volk comes back and wrestlers him. We will revisit this comment in a year. I just wish he was his own person. My man literally has the same Connor tat on his back and similar on his chest lol

​​​@@sergokhechuashvili3783 😅 brother calm down 😂 nobody here in spain said he is not georgian, of course he is Georgian and all his family is from georgia. We know 😂 Why being all jelous about it? But, he said spain is his home and he feels the country as his own country and he said himself he is spaniard and wants to die in alicante (his city in spain). He always spoke back in the day about dreaming with take the ufc to spain, he speaks spanish as his principal language in all social medias and his youtube videos, all spaniards GOATS legends of the sport like Rafa Nadal, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, Fernando Alonso, Pau Gasol etc... are close with him and treat him like another national athlete. People only show love and fulfil his wish of being treated like another spaniard. And for us he is one of us. Is simple as that. Nobody is deniying the fact that his family is from georgia and he lived (not born) a few years in georgia when he was a kid, we know, he is from georgia. There is a video of him, when he goes with the belt out of the octagon with his wife the day of the fight, he see a spaniard fan with the flag of spain and he goes towards him and kissed the flag with a big smile. Everybody knows that his family comes from georgia, nobody is saying the contrary. He IS georgian, and he said he is spaniard too. So we in spain love him and we see him as one of us too. I dont see nothing wrong about that, and i only read comments of georgian guys complaining about that, saying he is fro m georgia and not from spain, chill guys, we know 😂 He said he is spaniard so we respected that and the spanish fan base of ufc have been following his carreer before the ufc and even before a lot of georgians knew that he even existed. So i dont see the problem, he is georgian and spaniard (as he said) and we are thankfull to him because all the love and respect he have for spain and the culture. And we show love to him as a fellow spaniard. ❤️🇪🇦🤝🇬🇪❤️
