How would this fight go?

[payton]

I know Ilia COULD wrestlefuck him. Topuria is a grappler first. he has a wrestling background, and he is a bjj black belt but Sean has a decent reach advantage and is a sniper so it could be a better fight than some people are expecting.

That tweet is like 2 years old lol, Ilia is now fighting 2 divisions higher. They are never fighting.

Having said that, if they had fought at FW a year or two ago Ilia would've destroyed him.

O'Malley dodged a bullet on this one for sure.

Illa can go back to FW if doesn't work out for him and Suga can easily bulk up to FW. its not completely out of the realm of possibility.

Suga can't strike with Merab with a 5 inch height and 4 inch reach advantage when there is a takedown threat.
Which is pretty embarassing

Topuria has twice the striking Merab has and more size

Sean would get absolutely decimated, even not taking into account his likely ego-dented mental state he must have right now.

Not saying he has a massive ego, but making all those positive changes to your life and coming out worse has got to be a massive headfuck for someone who was on top of the world this time last year.

 

[Skarsgard]

Hard to say. We don't know how Sean would look a weight class or two up. He performs very well against strikers, but we've seen him get beaten up by a high pressure wrestler twice. I'd favor Ilia, but wouldn't be all that surprised if Sean takes it.

Agree, they need to make the Moutinho rematch first so he can get his mojo back

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Sean could maybe keep it competitive standing for a bit if he controls distance but I think Ilia is too powerful he would probably clip/hurt him and then jump on a sub.
