Interesting fact about Topuria

Just noticed that all of Topuria's knockouts have been legit KO's. No TKO's at all. That's pretty rare. Most of the time fighter's gain TKO's due to stoppages. Topuria just stops his opponents.

I'm not a Topuria mark. Just think it's interesting
The hall one is listed as a KO from punches and Hall is talking to the ref immediately so it's really a TKO.
 
That's an amazing stat. We are lucky to get to see this amazing fighter compete. He'll go down as one of the all time greats.
 
He generates power through hip movement.

Last time I saw a dance like that was when I went into a g4p club by mistake.
<puhlease>
Yea when he knocks people out they don’t fucking move

You’re right. Back when Conor was merking the 145ers they were TKOs. Ilia has that Jeremy Stephens power, but without Jeremy’s flaws.
 
I think it was whittaker who said Ilia can knock out any man from 145 to 170 if he lands clean, I don't think he would land a ko blow on a top welterweight but he certainly has enough power to knock them out if he connects. Cracked the most legendary chin in UFC history and it wasn't even his best shot that he rocked him with, max was backing away as he got hit and still was wobbled all over the place
Plus he has KO power in both hands. Put Holloway down with a left hook and Volk with a right hook. That’s scary good.
 
Aleksandre has good power, too.
His technique is good, he puts a lot behind it and he has shovels for hands.
Didn't throw enough and decided to wrestle in the third. But dropped his last opponent once.
He has TKOs though.
