Illia on suicide watch having to lose his belt in SLC instead of defending in Spain
Fair enough sherbro.
And to answer your question, the first MMA event I ever watched was UFC 3, the one that had Royce fighting Kimo. Didn’t watch it live or on pay-per-view but I remember my cousin and I went out and rented the VHS tape as soon as it came out on video, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
last thing....Max has grown into his look but hes still goofy looking
and that says nothing of when he was younger and even more awkward
but god bless him he should be happy AF
The altitude will affect Toporia. They must want max to win since he’s very popular now since the BMF fight
Why would the BMF belt be up for grabs? It’s a gimmick.Max gets the fight at elevation, eh? Fucking lol.
I bet he doesn't have to put the BMF belt on the line either.
Since Max gets KO’ed so oftenSalt Lake City is perfect.
Max is gonna need all the fresh air up there after he gets knocked out.
Lets be fair....Top is a lot better looking than Max cmon now
Pro bullfighters and Ilia are the shining stars from the town of Spain.A real UFC belt is on the line, if Topuria thinks he calls the shots. He’s dreaming.
So much for Spain.
Join the club FR, but days of real non-pampered warriors who fought open weight are long gone. Hell, ufc doesn't seem to schedule the best against the best in any division unless they makes sure the "DWP" champ has a full camp (after first having an extended time off) while the challenger is a too often a fill-in pressured into fighting on short notice to "save the card".Even though I watch MMA as much as ever, I still miss those raw early days, when it really was "MMA". Style vs style, open weight etc, it was so exciting and unpredictable.
Topuria has never seen a 5th..?Max had like 8 five round decisions in a row lol. Topuria has never seen a 5th.
Max also doesn't put a ton into anything he does in there. He's not throwing huge shots or doing big wrestling moves. He touches and goes, lots of point fighting until the big shots open themselves up and then he goes for it.
Topuria can fight like that as well. He did against Emmet. But a lot of the time he's out there throwing bombs lol. That's way more tiring than Max's style.
The altitude affect them the same, but Max is definitely going to be able to deal with it better.
Topuria has never seen a 5th..?
Good first post.The africa take is so dated, anyone who thinks the UFC is the reason africa didn't happen is a nerd, Izzy said it himself, it was africa that couldn't make it happen and the UFC tried, also at the time of Usman, Ngannou, Izzy reign, Africa had stronger covid restrictions then America and the UFC couldn't book there, and they are having issues again with them, Izzy apeaks about it on "this past weekend" Podcast
Quit with the victim bullshit
But Max is.Why should this fight happen at the Sphere or MSG? Topuria isn't a star, this is a good ass fight but there's nothing earth shattering about this matchup that requires any kind of special venue, at all.
