Topuria‘s brother

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Haven t seen a thread. Dude is really good. Somehow couldn t get the finish but still put a beating on his apanent. Good wrestling, good punching, sound defense, strong and stable.

Let's hope he isn't another

You're butt hype is every night.

I don't know how seriously to take it since they're close brothers, but Ilia used to talk like his brother could be better than him and is a smarter fighter.
Merab said something about him being better than both Ilia and Merab, but Merab is a nice guy and humble.
I wonder if he'll have some similar star power to Ilia. Yeh he looked good, especially considering the pressure of a first UFC fight, his previous competition all had losing records like 1-10, 0-7 (making these numbers up, but I'm genuinely not exaggerating) a guy with no tape on a short-notice change (similar circumstances to Ilia's first fight against Yousef Zalal, which is now Ilia's least impressive UFC performance).

Maybe it was too much, you are right!

He's good but he looked like he was getting easy sparring in.

At some point I was like damn bro is just using him as a grappling dummy and not even thinking about the finish

I mean he's def good, but.....


He's a bit boring so far.

We might have to wait for someone to give him a fight to see anything out of him.

It looks like his offensive grappling is merely Wrestling Control

Yeah


INFLICT PAIN

 

[MartiniSIDe]

He's really good but he doesn't have the "savagery" of his bro. At least not in that fight.

Ilia is technically sound but it looks like he's trying to methodically kill you in there. Aleks seems like he's trying to win the fight.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

very strange to see how patient he was, after a few minutes it was clear colby is not on his level in striking or grappling but aleksandre didn't push the pace or go for a finish. He even rocked him in round 1 but didn't follow up as well as he could have

 

[Deltron 6060]

He couldn't finish a literal nobody who took the fight on short notice

I thought it was a mediocre debut. He could and should have done better considering his opponent was short notice and wasn't putting up much of a fight. I liked his boxing though and would be interested to see how he does against UFC-level opponents. For his next fight, I think someone like Victor Henry or Taylor Lapilus would be great so we can see what level he is on.

That nobody was really unkillable though. I think there is more to mma than finishes.

 

[Harlekin]

He looked real good, just not enough pace.
His opponent is a teammate of volk who had the volk gameplan on him.
He's older than Ilia though, we will see how he will fare against a better opponent.
