Topuria is a weight bully and simply can't make 145 anymore...

[balkanbomber85]

Topurina says he is 5’7 but looks much more than 5’6 or smaller.

Besides that he walks around 180 (yes he says nearly 190 but I would bet thats him at the peak of out of camp time, at night, after he ate and drank as much as he can and with clothes and jewelry on) and if he will remain that weight then he will not only be 2 inch in average shorter than the small LWs but also 10 pounds lighter than the average LWs and I highly doubt that! He will add weight and cut the same amount, or more, as he does now which means the weight cutting excuse is BS.

 

[Preston broadus]

Quite odd..he doesn't look big for 145. Maybe he doesn't like the sauna

 

[Greyscale]

Why wouldn't he just kindly ask the promoters to skip making weight? It worked like a charm for Nurmagomedov, Chimaev, etc.

You are ghey as fuck.

Anyone who uses the term "weight bully" should be beheaded and disemboweled.

And then shit-on.

You know nothing about professional fighting.

Dude...what are you going on about? Do we have to ban you again? Help us help you man.

Ilia weighed 167,2 lbs in the octagon against Volkanovski. He will probably be around 175 lbs fighting at LW. The dude is short, but he’s definitely not small

is he iron golem?

is he iron golem?

He was.

 

[MRT]

Just that simple.

Another fraud.

Hope Islam starches him.

Based on your thread title, shouldn't you be happy that he is moving up...?

If you can make the weight at weigh-ins then you're in the right weight-class. It's that simple.

WTF is this weight bully fucking bullshit anyway? It is part of the damn game. Some people are going to be better at it than others, just like every other skill or genetic trait. I mean, if someone started training five years earlier than they guy they are fighting should we start calling them "experience bullies" or something similar? I have no idea why, on board where people claim to be fight fans there is more bitching about everything a fighter does than productive discussion.

OP is probably one of those dorks that thinks Colby Covington doesn't cut weight.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Hoping Islam starches Ilia for being a weight bully is comical when Islam is one of the biggest weight bullies in LW history. He is massive. Why do you think he has so many fights in Abu Dhabi and looked so human and beatable in Australia for the 1st Volk fight and against Dustin in Newark?

 

[Ladder Master]

I wouldn't mind bullying his wife.

Spoiler

 

[BowserJr]

Topuria is a manlet bro

 

[Ladder Master]

Massive weight manipulators everywhere.
Calling someone a certain weight class, when the next day they
show up over 20lbs heavier, is a joke and should be restricted.

 

[prime_lobov]

He’s actually small for lightweight. He isn’t a weight bully, he’s just on a different level from the rest of 145. He absolutely brutalized and retired Max and Volk, the last two top dogs at featherweight. If those guys look like amateurs compared to Ilia, why stay in that division?

He was smaller than his last opponent. So he even the biggest weight bully in his very division.

But no idea what this has to do with Islam. It's an Ilia thread. And ilia cuts a LOT of weight.

There it is. He cuts more weight than Volk.

 

[Streeter]

He likely could make 135 he's a small fw.. literally every lw dwarfs him in cage.. doesn't make sense

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

I don't think he's a weight bully, but he's too small for the LW division, he should learn how to cut properly.
