Arman strangles Topuria and Ilia will avoid him just like he did Evloev

I mean Topuria is an amazing striker, but I feel like many are skipping over his TDD, without the Islam fight possible. I do have questions about the level of it. He has a base in wrestling but that doesn't mean he's going to be able to keep every fight standing.
 
Lol at calling Charles washed, who just dominated Gamrot and recently lost a close fight to Arman where Arman had more control but Oliveira more finishing threat.

Almost was a sensible thread, then inserted some idiocy.
 
Toptoria is a ufc creation. Starching punch drunk fighters like olivera. Anyone who refuses to fight the clear no1 is no champion
 
Right on cue. Neckbeard/Russian ballrider. Topuria gives zero fucks about Imavov.

Want to play a fun game?

If Ilia avoided Imavov, then Islam avoided Ilia.

How’s that? Bet your pea brain exploded.
 
Like Islam not fighting Ilia or Arman and moving to WW? 😂
So ilia deserved a title shot at LW by beating punch drunk max.....but islam doesnt deserve one with 3 defences?
These ilia fanboys are devoid of all logic. Fw ' nah i dont need evloev....concust punch drunk max will do' LW 'nah i dont want arman...ill vacate'

some champ there skippy
 
Wrestling is very tiring. Ilia knows he wont have the same striking ability once he gets tired. Gsp showed everyone the blue print against bj penn in their 2nd fight.

After round 1 conor wasn't knocking khabib out

I was just about to say this and it seems accurate. On top of this, Ilia's striking game takes a HUGE amount of energy and aggression plus he leaves his leg forward like Jack. Obviously he knows this and I am sure will change things against Arman but in no way is it going to be easy. Josh fought like shit but he still went 5 rounds with Ilia at 38 and both were respecting each others power so the idea that Ilia is superhuman with his punching does not really track. (He is still amazing)

What fouls did he use?

I remember thinking seeing him grab inside the glove at one time which helped him land a knee to the dome

I'd have to rewatch it again but I'm almost certain he held Hooker's glove to land a big knee. Then there was the "accidental clash of heads" which was the top of Arman's head colliding with Hooker's face.
 
Skipped over Evloev at FW, wants to skip over Arman at LW..... this guy is getting Conor treatment.

Somehow won a second title by beating a washed Oliviera who was not even a champ? <{clintugh}> Most unaccomplished double champ since Conor

Refuses to defend a title

lol at gassing up Armando from beating a washed Hooker who used the dumbest gameplan in history
Toppy sleeps this dude easy
And he hasn’t ducked anybody, he hasn’t even been offered the fight
He called his bum ass out when he won the strap
You guys are so gullible believing social media crap he said
Armando was iced out and UFC fighters like Illia and Paddy were just playing their part
He will gladly knock out Armando if that’s the fight UFC wants
Then you dorks will call him washed just like everyone else Illia has beat

<mytea>
 
Arman has Top shook. Little el pato has to face the undisputed number 1 contender.

But he knows that if he loses, his potential fight with the goat loses steam. Mak bless.
 
Because one of those fights earns him way more money, fame, and huge potential upside should he win?

The other is a much lower reward considering the risk.

Do you know how this works yet buddeh?

See above.

Topuria was only willing to fight Evloev when he was a nobody.

And that was during the pandemic Evloev didn't "pull out" he popped for Covid and the UFC pulled him

;)
A lot of people dont realize how good Arman is. If Islam is a 100 on grappling Arman is like 85 so you are essentially taking on just as much dangerous of a fighter but not even 30% of the Glory for beating him So Topuria is kinda smart. Its kinda similar for Islam defending the 155 belt for the 5th time after a brutal weight cup and a guy from a lower division(and very dangerous fighter too) is much lower reward that going up to Welterweight to chase glory
 
wait Islam 'deemed the goat'? Okay.
He seems to be approaching it tbh and in this generation its between him topuria and Merab with Islam leading the pack after beaking 3 huge win streaks and his own UFC winstreak being the longest, Topuria Like Khabib is undefeated but has a not enough UFC win streak. Merab imo is looking unbeatable right now
