Media Ilia Topuria: IF Islam Wins 170 Title, Ill Move UP To Fight Him

[KillerIsBack V2]

If he loses again here, it'll be his 11 loss, wouldn't it? And 3 losses in his previous 5 fights?

Yes

 

[The XL]

I believe him. I think he wants the smoke with Islam.

 

[The XL]

At 5”5 ?

DC won the HW title at 5'9.

 

[Shano123]

Man I hope Charles knocks this idiot the fuck out

 

[RichardHarrow]

DC won the HW title at 5'9.

By being an Olympic wrestler.

 

[Chayanne]

First defend your title a few times, then we'll talk further

 

[cburm]

We all knew that already.. hel win the belt maybe defend once maybe not but hel be calling out Islam for the 170 belt

 

[andgonsil]

Islam is terrified of Toppy

Charles was a 4 to 1 underdog last time I checked. Shit is crazy. I understand favoring Topuria, but 4-1 when he's moving up a weight class and facing one of the best Lightweights? I don't know. That smells like big time charles disrespect.

Charles get hit too much topuria hits too hard.

Charles get hit too much topuria hits too hard.

Yeah, but Illia being 4 to 1 favorite against the biggest, best and most diverse finisher he's ever faced? This isn't pillow fisted volume guys like max and Volk -- it's the best finisher up a weight class. The odds are too big for me.

Charles is a double edged sword, he gets finishes but gets finished easily. If he was a guy who never got finished I'd give him better odds but him being a great finisher doesn't increase his chances of winning here. being elusive and tactical would be a better hat to wear for this fight.

Yes, and the sharp edge of Charles sword in this analogy is unlike anything Ilia has ever seen, and bigger. We've already seen Topuria against the defensive tactical guys, and he shows complete disrespect for them. Now lets see him against a guy that is an even better finisher than himself, and one that will mix everything up.

Topuria should win, but for me there are too many unknowns for the odds to be that big.
