Ilia managed Volks pressure well and stiffed him, evaded Emmett's devastating power, manhandled Bryce, sliced through Ryan Halls guard, and now cracked Max's seemingly uncrackable chin. Hes displayed elite skills in every facet with ranked opponents and former champs with ease.

[@ReliableNewsNetwork2]

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

Yes, I think he's unstoppable at featherweight through lightweight. I think he has even more devastating power at 155 too. When he effectively killed Jai herbert, I was actually worried that Jai wasn't going to wake up. That knockout blow on Jai was terrifying. if Ilia gets Islam up against the cage like Volk did in the first fight, he is 100% knocking Islam out cold.

Yeah but they are on their way out. Max slurs when he speaks and shouldn't be cutting to featherweight anymore and Volk got kod 3 months prior. Periera is out there knocking out former champions who are in their primes, is alot more active than Ilia and defended his belt 3 time in what 7 months? Ilia was solid this year, but Pereira is the 2024 fighter of the year. Just defending his belt on 2 weeks notice than in his next fight defending it with strep throat is insane. Yeah Roundtree wasn't a former champion but both Jeri and Hill were.

@@britneyystaples91imo Alex should win fighter of the year bc he’s the guy right now everything he’s done he feels like the MC of the ufc right now but Illia 2 wins are more impressive than Alex’s 3 simply bc how much more skilled the lower weights are

[@Rulesoffitness]

@@britneyystaples91 They are in no way on their way out. Volk just lost to Islam and Ilia. He beat Yair like a rag in between that. And Max just had his best win earlier this year. Before that he got a great win against who is one of the better featherweights by far. Just because fighters lose doesn't mean they've instantly lost their prime. Both Volk and Max looked good against Ilia. Until they got caught. This is just downplaying Ilia's wins.

I like how humble Ilia was in victory. The trash talk is really only for business purposes. Fight hype.

[@therainman7777]

I thought the same thing until I saw Ilia at the post-fight press conference, where he brought out his "BMF" belt and kind of mocked Max a bit on the mic. The fight is already over so there's no longer any need to sell it. So why was he so respectful to Max in the ring only to turn into his cheesy villain character again at the press conference? I'm guessing it's about more than just selling individual fights; I think Ilia is consciously going for the heel role and wants to cultivate that image.

[@paytonthornberry1382]

​@@therainman7777 He's definitely going heel, and he's doing a good job.

[@therainman7777]

@@paytonthornberry1382 Yeah, you could argue he’s doing a good job. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree, but I would say he’s doing as good of a job as a person can when they’re actually not a heel. I think Ilia is actually a very decent and respectful person and family man, so it’s always going to come across as kind of inauthentic. Whereas it came naturally for people like Conor, Colby, or Jon Jones because they are genuinely not very good people.

I know Holloway is everyone's favorite, but honestly seeing Topuria shatter his chin (like I predicted he would) was so damn insane! I can't see any other featherweight even coming close to beating Ilia

[@MoeAintLow]

in my opinion knocking out Volk and Holloway back to back ESPECIALLY with ko's might be the 2 best back to back wins EVER

[@risla1001]

I'm a little confused, how do you knock somebody without a ko???

I really want to see the Robert Whittaker takes after. I feel like that was a much more consequential fight than this one.

[@antig1971]

Nah, me and all my boys had khamzat in the first round, but if the fight went the distance then Whitaker could have a chance,

[@myquest666420]

Did you see Whittaker’s jaw?

[@user-jt8yv9co5m]

He’s cocked might even retire after that jaw injury

[@CRT4Dummies]

definitely more consequential. that was a g.o.a.t tier performance. khamzat reasserting himself as a potential g.o.a.t prospect if he can remain active and undefeated for a few years

[@henriqueirada]

Who cares he is done

[@deestroyer1885]

Ilia vs Lopez is the one we need. Not another fight against one of his easiest opponents Volk

[@unbecoming2007]

Lopez would have to make it ugly very quick and only then he'd have a just puncher's chance. ilia too technical for lopez. Doesn't mean I don't wanna see that fight tho. I want all champs to stay busy.

[@joseluisalvarez8648]

Volkanoski deserves a rematch against Topuria because of his career merits. But it would be a low-interest fight in strict sport/MMA terms.

[@oxsila]

He deserves it, but he shouldn't take it. I only see the same thing happening again. Volk was well known for getting hit and smiling it off, just like Max would do. You can't do that against Ilia. You just can't. He finally met his match.

[@imma5761]

If islam can defend twice against 145er then volkanovski who beat max 3 times for the belt can get his rematch too based on merits done in 145. Thats non religious bias

[@HotTakesBoxing]

11:00 .you are right .yes it was like a cus damato shift when some one is trying to circle out of your combos … you shift your stance such that your opponent is square to land a shot they dont see coming and also generate high torque

I'm Spanish, Madrid born and raised and I've been around and followed you for a few years my man. But it is true though.., No fighting sport has ever gotten this much attention in our country. Boxing got pretty big in thge 60's and 70's and then muay thai and K1 got their moment for a few years as well. Bright times ahead of us in combat sports: Sandor Martin inb boxing, Merche Garcia won her second Junior MMA world champiionship and of course Ilia, Joel Alvarez, Barez, etc. and then of course our beloved Chris 'El Maño' Barnett,

Guru, actively rewatching the fight and noticed something I found a bit interesting. R2 around 3:07, Ilia briefly points up with his left hand…. then 10 seconds later lands a clean left hook that wobbles Max.
