The Scary Truth about Ilia Topuria Nobody is Noticing! (Part 2)

In this eye-opening video, we delve into the meteoric rise of Ilia Topuria, examining why he's considered one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC today. We'll explore the striking similarities between Topuria and boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez, and discuss why Topuria's rapid ascent poses a significant threat to the UFC executives.
Ilia Topuria's fighting style and tenacity draw immediate comparisons to Canelo Alvarez. Both fighters possess a lethal combination of technical skill, power, and relentless aggression. Topuria's ability to seamlessly blend striking and grappling makes him a versatile and unpredictable opponent, much like Canelo's adaptability in the boxing ring. Topuria's precision and power in his punches mirror Canelo's own devastating knockout ability, making every fight an explosive spectacle.
Topuria's rise to prominence has not been without its challenges. His fierce determination and unyielding work ethic have propelled him through the ranks, but it's his mindset that truly sets him apart. Like Canelo, Topuria enters every bout with a champion's mentality, exuding confidence and a readiness to take on the best of the best. This unshakeable belief in his abilities makes him a formidable force in the featherweight division.
However, Topuria's rapid ascent is also a cause for concern for the UFC executives. His potential to disrupt the established order and challenge top-tier fighters presents a unique challenge for the promotion. As he continues to rack up victories and gain a loyal fanbase, the UFC must navigate how to manage his rise without upsetting the balance of their carefully curated matchups and star fighters.
Moreover, Topuria's growing influence and outspokenness could lead to tensions with the UFC brass. His willingness to call out fighters and demand high-profile bouts reflects a level of self-assuredness that can be both a promotional dream and a managerial headache. The UFC executives must carefully balance nurturing Topuria's burgeoning career while ensuring the sport's integrity and competitive fairness.
Join us as we break down the elements that make Ilia Topuria a dangerous contender in the UFC, explore the parallels with Canelo Alvarez's legendary boxing career, and analyze the potential impact of his rise on the UFC's future landscape. This video will provide a comprehensive look at one of the most exciting fighters in the sport and why he’s capturing the attention and concern of the MMA world.

I was just thinking about his boxing style looking like Canelo's. The liver shot is a staple of Mexican boxing.

[@combatsportshub9028]

Definitely mate, obviously not on canelo’s level but he’s emulating him definitely

[@brandonamezquita4501]

@@combatsportshub9028 Yup. 👍

[@MikeyLee559]

His style is more like Miguel Cotto, especially his combinations

[@Jc-td4sb]

Love topuria boxing style reminds me a lot of canelo the head movement the high guard how he pressures his opponents and those brutal body shots he throws in a interview topuria said he been watching canelo since he was a kid so he’s heavily influenced by that Mexican style boxing

[@Rodrigo-uv2vc]

I think that topuria is a grat champion and when he fights hes gonna made a great show and outclass most of the oponents he will face

[@emanueldargan]

Isn't he ducking max talking crazy to top contenders and even said he wouldn't give them a title shot either

[@brandonamezquita4501]

​@@emanueldarganIt's in the works.

[@levbegus187]

A guy like Yair could give him problems on the feet with his style of striking, but we’ve seen him get dominated in the grappling by guys like Ortega, Volk and even guys like Max. I can’t imagine he’d do any better against Ilia

[@AntonioMontana_7.5]

Apparently fighters IQ is completely annihilated when fighting him. He's completely open for kicks, knees, elbows, Judo throws, wrestling takedowns... everyone seems to think they're supposed to box

[@fernandoish9194]

Volkanovski kicked him constantly. Jay Herbert knocked him down with a head kick. Bryce Mitchell frontkicked him as well, and tried to take down him several times, succeding once. They all got KOed. Try something else, other fighters being dumb when fighting him isn't the case.

[@kingsalman8907]

its not that simple

[@Julian-hy7tn]

U say all this like u could do it

[@solidboss1738]

his background is in wrestling and jujitsu the only thing being his weakness is head kicks and even then he rarely gets hit buy them

[@shredgod6394]

He is open for kicks. But Volk kicked him ALOT and he still marched forward. Considering he has been Greco Roman Wrestling since 4 years old its laughable you think he’s so vulnerable for Judo throws or takedowns. Knees and Elbows are possible but no one has been able to time him or find the opening for it yet. Volk hit him with a couple knees in the clinch before getting K.O.d like everyone else

[@rezasaboori9429]

Love ilia, my fav fighter right now

[@niconicoo5661]

Topuria is still georgian 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪😀😀

[@bretoncristobal]

didnt think the day would come when i would "defend" ilia but have to say he already fought on 2024, in february. He will fight again this year so if we go by history he will fight more than 1 a year. Well see though, you might be right, its not the most probable though.

[@mikeiso8963]

He reminds me of an evolved Cody Garbrandt. Hopefully Volk wasn’t his Dom Cruz.

[@dmitribaquero6753]

I think a strong wrestler can probably take him; but there´s not one right now. So chances are he will defend the title for a little while at least.

[@combatsportshub9028]

Depends though really what their wrestling style is, I think they’d have to beat him in a very boring fight with little to no risk taking

[@gigachad6885]

Ilia IS a wrestler lol, he started as a kid

[@Kgopani3101]

In the pocket he lacks defense and is very open to kicks because of his boxing heavy stance, despite being a great grappler it hasn't translated well except just choking out a rocked bryce mitchel who was able to dodge his punches a few times

[@brandonamezquita4501]

He hasn't had to use his grappling offensively much.

[@faithalone5081]

Herbt and youssef

[@IrinaJologua]

✌️🇬🇪❤️❤️❤️

[@alperenkoksel4424]

So many of this videos will be obsolete once he fights max.

[@combatsportshub9028]

Max will probably implement a lot of kicks? I don’t think it’s a one sided fight, but topuria is a very good boxer and tbink he’d be silly to rely on boxing

[@onepercent3697]

And dont count out volk either

[@onepercent3697]

Are u looney have u watched max h that fight is 50 50

[@Fitnesstrainingpersonaltv]

Topuria vs Islam best Fight!❤

[@brandonamezquita4501]

Crazy fight.

[@Jake84847]

How’s he one of the most exciting champions when he hasn’t defended his belt 😂

[@combatsportshub9028]

Skill wise, his outside of the ring antics are killing him I agree

[@Jake84847]

@@combatsportshub9028 yeah he seems good skill wise, guess we’ll see how good his striking really is compared to an elite striker like Max

[@combatsportshub9028]

Definitely, wouldn’t be surprised if you see him go for a few takedowns for some variety and he might struggle with the volume and speed of max also so it’s a very 50/50 fight

[@Jake84847]

@@combatsportshub9028 I think ilia might be too stubborn and want to stand with max with no grappling, it might work but I don’t think he’ll win a striking match with max

[@combatsportshub9028]

Ye I think I agree tbf mate

DA SCARY TRUTH ABOUT ILIA HE'S DEFINITELY SCARED TO FIGHT MAX HOLLOWAY . 5 MONTHS NOW STILL DIDN'T SIGN DA CONTRACT . ALL MOUTH NO ACTION .

Ilia already signed the contract. Max is the one who didnt sign it yet.

[@smallmiyagis_4083]

Love watching topuria man, always funny how his name is matador but he rly the bull, high guard, light effective head movements, heavy pressure, always cutting off the cage and CRAZY punch power

[@shredgod6394]

He’s both. He’s the bull to most feathweights. He will walk down any high level technical out boxer and get their back to the cage every time. But against power punchers like Josh Emmett, he is the Matador. He’s the best of the best in every category 💯

[@MMAtiasUFC2]

Good fighter. The scary this is he is swag jacking Conor since the beginning. Even the tattoos, that makes me sick. No soul, no personality, a copycat. 🤮

[@onepercent3697]

They will sick max on him

[@aussiefamilydog8923]

And max will get snuffed

[@LeoCooperMMA]

This AI generated description etc is pretty disappointing mate. You've got potential - use it!

[@combatsportshub9028]

Thank you mate - I will do, didn’t know how important the descriptions were honestly - thanks though appreciate it

[@igorz3551]

I think the reason he doesn't throw kicks much is becausr he likes to take as little risk as possible.. Same way he fights strikers on the ground and vice versa

OMG how scary

[@manuelgarces1605]

Topuria ya ha dicho en entrevistas en español, que su estilo de Boxeo esta hecho en base al de Canelo. Topuria le dijo a su entrenador quiero Boxear como Canelo en MMA, por eso las similitudes.
