I lived in Alicante for a year, very close to his gym. I used to see him all the time having breakfast in a place close to his gym and dude, there’s just something about his aura that makes it even hard to look at him, maybe I’m just a bitch but he just looks so calm and confident it’s almost like serial killer vibes

Combos increase your chances of finishing the fight, throwing one punch only is unlikely to get you a KO. These other fighters need to learn from Ilia Topuria, "The Evolution man".

He was mad confident in his abilities, he was able to sell the fight, but never crossed any red lines with volk. Walked out like a king, knocked the champion out and turned his haters into fans. Talked the talk and walked the walk, ilia is him.
It is true, he is actually the Evolution of mixed martial arts. I would say he looks like a deadly boxer who is also good at wrestling and BJJ
0:45 he was choking up speaking about volk, he has an immense respect for him and couldn't believe what he did to him

He speaks english very clearly and confidently. That's the sign of a high IQ and ambitious person.

Can't be compared to another legend, Topuria attained a new stature now. Illia is Illia 🦾
Ive had money on this due since He fought Ryan Hall, but I think the switch up on people is the fact that he fucking gave you a picture of what he was gona do and then went and painted it into reality. That was just fucking incredible
I knew he was going to win, Vamos Ilia!
Not sad for Volk. He is amazing and had a great run, made millions, well respected by all. We ALL get old it isn't a failure on his part. A special and entertaining guy as Ilia is now.
Was amazing for me, I follow ilia before he was in the ufc, crazy at 7am here in spain😍🇪🇦🥇🌹
Once again good boxing combinations did the job. Well done Ilia Topuria.
More Mckenzie! less Nina. Congrats Topuria, that was an amazing showing.
Very well said, ON POINT!
Wow i love the respect !!!!!
