I love watching Shertards scratch their heads unable to decide who they hate more.

Topia watches Mcgregor steal Aldo’s title, reminds himself he gotta do that one day too.
oh no he grabbed the belt. he's basically irish at this point. Cue the coke and hookers.
Mocking the very guy you clearly based your entire image, persona, gimmick and career off of is . . . .an interesting angle.
Illia has called Mcgregor his idol numerous times, he’s obviously basing his career after him and mimicking his career path and antics.
He said he grew up idolizing the guy, get real if you don’t think Illia is trying to mimic him.
“I know he is not what he was. He’s not the McGregor that moved masses. He’s a McGregor that represents drugs and alcohol more than sport. I have been inspired by Conor. I admired him when I was little. And he has lost it because he has betrayed the values that have brought him to the top. We have lost an idol.”
Agreed. Plus Conors kos are tko and soft tkos at that.Most of Conor's ko'd opponents ran into his fist or he clipped them so fast they didn't even know what hit them.
Ilia does the same but also simply has tons of raw puncing power.
His front tat is insanely similar too lol.Just because he was inspired by him growing up doesn't mean he's mimicking him now.
Again, he doesn't talk anything like Conor with all Conor's yelling over everyone and shit. Doesn't live like Conor either. Take away that one dumb back tat, and if he hadn't got this LW title shot no one would be saying anything about the two being similar.
And like, what is he supposed to do? Say no to a free LW title shot in a weight class he wanted to move up to anyway just because Conor did it before him? That would be beyond stupid for him to do.

He dresses like Conor, same style of haircut, and same style of beard.
You are being ridiculous in saying he ain’t mimicking Mcgregor, you need pictures?
It’s not like before Conor there was someone else in MMA doing this shit.

I’m guessing you didn’t follow the career of either man that closely.
Conor vs. Aldo:
Mcgregor snatches Aldo’s belt.
Does mystic Mac mode, predicting round and method of win.
Changes twitter bio/insta to champ, the day before he wins.
Illia vs Volk:
Illia snatches Volk’s belt
Does mystic Topuria, predicting round and method of win.
Changes twitter bio/insta to champ, the day before he wins.
He’s clearly mimicking Mcgregor.
The body language, even the speech prior to snatching the belt is identical, I mean Topuria looks scripted/rehearsed to mimic Mcgregor though.

And to be a fake Spaniard as well! ShamefulMocking the very guy you clearly based your entire image, persona, gimmick and career off of is . . . .an interesting angle.
Nah, I really hope it doesn't sound like I'm defending Conor. I hope it comes through that I am saying Conor is despicable.You gonna defend him for not being able to trouble the pensioner sat on the bar stool too?
You make some good points, but you're still ignoring the fact that he acts like a douche, is annoyingly arrogant/disrespectful (read: insecure, like Conman), cringey-as-all-hell, and has his entire body tattooed exactly like Conman (probably not done as a kidJust because he was inspired by him growing up doesn't mean he's mimicking him now.

And you're clearly deaf. The arrogance, attitude, shit-talking even unrelated people, and, yes, the tattoos. Not to mention he's said multiple times that Conman was his idol. . .Clearly you need glasses
They are nothing alike besides the back tattoo, which isn’t even an original tattoo design to begin with

I don't hate (on) Ilia nearly as much as I do Conman, because he's not nearly as deserving. He's an excellent fighter, and I suspect a decent person. But that doesn't absolve him of all wrong-doings or make him beyond reproach either.
Mate, he has one tattoo that's basically the same.
The chest and everything else is totally different. Conor's is some gorilla thing in a japanese style. Top's is a lion's face split apart and his head coming out of the middle. Then Top has a full sleeve while Conor does not. Conor has his name and a tiger on his stomach while Top has nothing on his stomach.
So, that's not his entire body tattooed like Conman at all.
I don't think he's arrogant and disrespectful anything like Conor. The dude is confident in himself (he has every right to be considering what he's done so far) and talks a little smack for sure, but he never takes it too far. It's just to generate interest in the fight. He doesn't go after people anything like Conor did. You don't see Top calling people a nazi like Conor did to Siver or anything. Never brings other people's wives into it either.
If he was anywhere near as much of a cunt as Conor was, a guy like Volk wouldn't respect him and tell him to come on his cooking show lol.
He can definitely be a bit cringey sometimes, but a lot of that is him just fucking up what he's trying to because his English is still a bit wonky.
I mean, I'm pretty much with you, and again, not an Ilila hater, I just don't like a couple aspects of his personality.
But, c'mon. To most people, including those with a lot of tattoos (myself included), having your idol's identical back tat, and then also a large roaring animal head on your chest, just like him . . and the fact you're trying a pg 13 version of his hype angle. . . . please, forgive the layman for thinking he's copied his look and style.
Look, mate, I can't deny that the back tat was an odd choice. And even his brother has it as well lol.
The chest tats are very different, though I don't know what Top was thinking with his. What on earth made him think "yeh, a lions head with my own face coming out of the middle"? I don't know if that's better or worse than Conor's dumb gorilla thing haha.
