Anyone who takes care of their mom deserves respect. good luck josh!

[@lucassanchez9120]

What a good man!!!

[@stephenr80]

Im with Ilia but Emmet is fine man!!

[@templuismunoz]

Ilia and Josh are two people very attached to their family. It's good that they don't always promote insults and bad language all the time. Perhaps Ilia is somewhat younger and cocky... but a very interesting fight.

[@jackreacher2095]

@@templuismunozwhen you train that hard and commit your entire life to your craft it isn’t cockiness but confidence in preparation

[@templuismunoz]

@@jackreacher2095 yep I know, I didn't mean cockiness like other guys in the UFC, You're right he is super confidence, I'm eager to watch this fight. 100% with the Topuria Brothers

[@MightySamson258]

Glad they did this for topuria. He deserves the spotlight. He definitely gonna be one of the biggest names in MMA.

[@user-rr3fq1ml1g]

Nah dude emmet is about to derail him

[@beaualoevv]

@@user-rr3fq1ml1ghe tapped to a striker. he got gifted decision. he should be ranked below Ilia now😂

[@user-rr3fq1ml1g]

@@beaualoevvjust kidding man ilia could get it done too & I see that happening josh ain’t that good

[@BrdOutaMyMnd]

Too soon for definitely. This fight will tell us about how far he'll go. Right now he's dangerous but not a champion.💯

[@timoleo8925]

Topuria has to use Wrestling to make his life easier this time. If it stays standing its a pick em fight. Both guys have power and quick hands.

[@ElCyberWizard]

This will be the first ufc even I go to live!

[@nickcampbell9258]

I watch Josh Emmett Knock out Michael Johnson in Philadelphia you’re gonna love it

[@Deltron6060]

Unpopular opinion, it's better on TV.

[@philippmuller898]

Lots of awesome and underrated bouts! Have fun!

[@benny9620]

@@Deltron6060you seem real fun. Stay inside, loser

[@plingfan5408]

@@Deltron6060I agree, honestly. It was a cool experience, but I still prefer TV.

[@IbrahimMohammed-qz9ny]

This is an incredible fight, Emmet is such a veteran, has so many tricks up his sleeves, and Topuria is an absolute savage, vicious KO power and has a very high fight IQ. Ultimately I have Topuria winning by KO within 3rds.

[@darrylmitchell7515]

Will be an interesting fight

[@LuisAlvarez-qx7ki]

It’s going be 5 round that’s what makes this fight good . Cuz they have 25 minutes in cage but I don’t thinnk they will get past round 3

[@tyrinlovelady8020]

So happy for Ilia. My favorite athlete. Future champ. The upside for him is surreal.

[@abrahamayala3347]

This is a badass episode , both cool dudes . Gonna be a good scrap

[@Borz778]

This is sick. Pretty much a countdown like the ppv

[@ocanaldojj]

Ilia feels like the type of fighter we needed He seems like a guy that values everything life gives him, shares that with the people he meets on his rise and the confidence he exudes is just palpable, the dude is really cool to keep up with and follow Josh is also a very wholesome dude, his bond with his wife is something we all strive for in life and the dude made it happen His girl too, she seems as much if not more invested in his dream and is putting in the effort to help him with everything she can Is hard having to see one of them lose but all I can hope for is that they put on a show and come out of their bout bigger than before

[@Landeater]

I am SO hyped! Lets go Ilia Topuria!!!

[@TheDarkHorseOfSocialMedia]

I'm calling a first round KO for Topuria

[@McRee771]

Topuria has all the ingredients to become a star and champion in the sport.

[@bessoia7064]

I'm all for Ilia, bit of arrogance won't hurt, but if he starts swinging like he did against Mitchell, he might catch counter right from Emmett

[@cpugh70]

he will catch that counter..

[@1987blessthefall]

Have you even seen his prior fights he swung like that because he could and he was looking to make a statement it was a great match up for him. He won't be reckless against guys who are more technical. Just go back and watch his fight prior to the ufc

[@LuisAlvarez-qx7ki]

I think he was swinging like that against Mitchell because Mitchell wasn’t really a threat in stand up he just try to use his wrestling

[@axutgautam1187]

Strageties differ from opp to opp

[@ToTheosis]

He retires Emmett

[@siwkolis]

Imagine Ilia vs Yair 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@whotfisleo]

Yair would end him in 3

[@Sacciuiguai]

Yair vs Barboza for a dream fight

[@ericponte87]

That's actually a firefight

[@funtv4920]

Tbh Yair is stylistically nightmare matchup for Ilia.

[@brandosshow3026]

@@funtv4920not a nightmare, but it’s a gonna be a very tough task.

[@mexicanommamaster9374]

Beautiful to see that both men have not only unmatched motivation but also alongside a beautiful supportive woman couldnt ask for more.. Cant wait to see the outcome of this match but it will be a bittersweet feeling though.. Both guys deserve to win..

[@malemasterrace478]

[@DecoreHQ]

Topuria is growing on me for sure! He has that special thing - Hard to explain, u just know it when u see it.

Man this guys brings cold blooded villain vibes.

[@jacklitz6024]

Ilia is a rising star and probably the future of the UFC, but Josh emmet is such a stud I’ll always root for Josh I didn’t know all the things about his life so I’ll be rooting for Josh super excited about this fight

[@MrDioXIII]

Ilia's english is noticeably improved I think from the London event last year. Pretty cool. 4th(?) language I think.

[@elperitamelasquita]

Third , he said in an Spanish TV show that he forgot German because he moved from a very young age from there to Georgia.

[@danielbenavides1906]

I don’t even think he speaks Georgian as fluent as he speaks Spanish.

[@warrenstringham415]

LFG Josh! Sactown rooting for you

[@javiercalzadillarios280]

I like Emmett so much, hard life,beatiful family, no trash talk,so powerful,is a dangerous fight for Ilia but i think and i hope Topuria,s gonna win in the second round by TKO. Best regards from Spain👊🇪🇸🇬🇪💪

[@bauerpower83]

I was going for llia until the end of the episode. Now I'm rooting for josh. Let's get it done bro. Scree the odds!

[@lisaschrader7621]

I couldn't agree more. Looking past Josh is a big mistake.

[@templuismunoz]

@ryanbauer8965 , @lisaschrader7621 I agree with you, which means that every difficult situation is relative. Being in a war zone with his brother at 11 without his parents old is not pleasant either. I think that's why he was angry at Paddy

[@willisnjim]

🙏🏾 josh, that’s the best to take care of yr mum like that. 🙌🏾
