Joe Rogan Ilia Topuria Broke Max Holloway in His Own Game

[@korlu01]

Here’s a harsh reality that we must wrap our minds around: Holloway, Poirier, Volk, Gaethje, Oliveira… these are guys that once held and fought for titles. And those days are now behind us.

[@chrispee5786]

kinda. it seems as if islam isnt gonna be around for too much longer. so as soon as he leaves do bronx will be the champ again easily.

[@korlu01]

@ pal your take is insane. Islam won’t be around long? He just turned 33? What makes you say that? And even if that were the case how would it just go straight back to Do Bronx? Did you not watch UFC 300?

[@chrispee5786]

@@korlu01 dc said it more than once as of late. that islam doesnt have too many more fights left mainly because there is no one left.. how do bronx? because he.s basically cleared out the division. arman fight was a split decision.

[@bonnymathebula007]

Max is not a power puncher. Moving to 155 won't make him a power puncher. He's already bigger than most 145 guys. The KO against Justin was from a swing fest. Justin had taken so much damage throughout the fight. We've seen his power had no effect against guys like Dustin.

[@rubencaca]

yeah but he puts a paste and volume like no other he doesn’t need power when he’s beating u up for 5 rounds and you’re exhausted and damaged and without khabib there dp would’ve been lw champ he’s one of the best ever

[@Jackrabfanyo]

yeah i agree... i feel he just caught Justin off guard while he was swinging . He pretty much turned his head blindly into max's hook

[@bonnymathebula007]

@@rubencaca Without Khabib, Charles & Islam are the champions. Not Dustin who lost to both. Anyways, my point was his power is meaningless at 155. We should not look at the Justin fight & start thinking Max will KO people at 155, whilst he couldn’t KO the top contenders at 145. However, i believe Max can still beat most fighters at 155. But i doubt he become champion at 155.

[@KrisBishop78]

Max is a warrior but he has always lived by the sword. He likes to stand and have kickboxing matches with guys. He refuses to wrestle and this is what happens… That being said… I will always be a Max fan 🤷🏻‍♂️ A true warrior

[@rubencaca]

@@bonnymathebula007 what i’m saying is when dustin was competing for the belt was in 2019 if khabib wasn’t there he would’ve been champ bc charles and islam didn’t become champ until years ltr and yes max will beat a lot of 155ers in the top 15 i didn’t say he would be champ however he’s not someone to look past he’s a challenge for anyone

[@Ukbilo]

People need to start showing respect to Georgians. There’s 2 active Georgian UFC champions right now and Least ufc fans and commentators can do is learn some basic facts about Georgia so they don’t sound so fackin ignorant and offensive. And Topuria is Georgian. Like how long will it take people to understand this? If Colby Covington moved to Brazil and bought a house there and start training there, is he going to magically become Brazilian? It’s the same thing. Topuria is GEORGIAN. He fights out of Spain but he is 100% Georgian.

[@josemarodrigo742]

Bro, he was born in Germany and came to Spain at 7yo. What are you talking about?

[@chrispee5786]

show some respect lol. you didnt even know illia was born in germany. therefore that is not 100% georgian. also no one has been disrespecting georgia. just because someone doesnt know a lesser known country that doesnt mean theyre being offensive

[@noahcaucasus]

@@josemarodrigo742 No, he lived in Georgia until he was 15, he moved to Spain at age 15, but none of that matters, he is ethnic Georgian, his ancestry is Georgian, he represents Georgia officially in UFC, Topuria is a Georgian sur name..if Japanese person is born in Germany, because their parents had to flee due to war for short time, and moves to Finland it doesn't change the fact that they are Japanese, get a grip on reality guys. Topuria is 100 percent Georgian by ethnicity and represents Georgia in UFC.

[@rdg9768]

​​​​​@@noahcaucasus He is georgian,,, but: but without spain he never would be at ufc, he said it, that he discover mma in spain, he was only a wrestler in georgia and he said that his dream there was going to the olympics one day and win a gold medal... then that changed when he discover something that make him happy in spain: MMA. He learn his jiujitsu and boxing in spain, the songs he uses are spanish songs, his fighter nickname is a term that is soo deep in spanish culture, his best friends, his son, his happines and his maturity in life came with spain (all that he said it in spanish interviews) and he said too that he dont care what anyone has to say, the have both nationalities and he feels himself as georgian and spaniard,,, That means he is both? Not really, of course his family are from georgia, and of course he is georgian, but people are so salty saying "he is not from spain" when in spain the only thing spaniards fans are doing is supporting him way before even one single georgian in georgia knew topuria exists before ufc, and be gratefull with him cause he always refers to spain as his country and show love Nobody is saying he IS spaniard, everyone knows in spain that he is georgian, but they treat him as one of them and give him love. He said a lot of times that he wants to die in spain, and he fight over the years to have both nationalities of spain and georgia... Ilia is greatfull that spain give him the opportunity for all he have now, and spain is greatfull that he view himself as another one of the country and helps to get recognition to the spanish mma fans. In other words, he is georgian by family, but he is a mma product of spain... is fair for him to represent both countries if he wants. Is that simple, nothing else

[@noahcaucasus]

@@rdg9768 I agree to the fact that he is better off training and living overseas, all we are saying is, not to ommit word Georgian from verbal presentation, since that is the nation he represents officially and he is ethnic Georgian, when he won belt vs Volk they kept saying Spaniard and purposely didn't say Georgia yet they kept showing Georgian flag, it was misleading presentation and they got many complaints so now they said Georgian after he KOED Max, that's all we want, they can call him Spaniard since he lives there or Japanese if he moves to Japan tomorrow, just don't exclude his ethnicity and official representation, I think it's very reasonable, but, because Georgia is small market they feel and felt they could just ignore reality, and that's not just or fair or correct.

[@MrConnorTV1]

Come on Eddie, you were watching the fight too! hahaha

[@astheskylarksings]

It wasn’t so complicated: the leg kicks. Max lost his patience after that leg kick. And that was that. Volk only threw kicks to score. His kicks her deadlier than Gaethje’s.
