Media Topuria Says Volk will be his "Punching Bag", Confirms UFC Spain in 2024, Says NONE of UFC FW Division Deserves A Title Shot If He Wins the Belt

[Khaosan]

Holy fuck is that really him? For some reason, I thought it was Dr. Strange or some movie character.

I didn’t know either until another poster pointed it out. I looked at a photo and realized holy shit it is him LOL cringe as fuck.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Makhachev humbled Volkanowski once. He barely survived the first fight.

Agree he did the exact opposite of humble him he gassed him up to thinking he’s top fw and lw

 

[RiseAboveHat]

Yeah, what a resume. Cleaned out the division!

 

[nostradumbass]

Love this guy, man. Volk will show him levels but my god he is entertaining. We need more ilia and less “Yep I respect my opponent, nothing bad to say about him next question? Yea my weight cut was great….”

We need more guys saying up front they'll duck contenders and want a money fight with a guy who hasn't won a fight in over 4 years and wouldn't be in his division even if he did fight again?

He’s funny. He’s a personality. He’s delusional. It’s entertainment, plus he fights exciting so it isn’t a belal guy

It's sports entertainment, and he's saying he won't defend against contenders

If you’re really taking this guys words to be the plan then you’re more delusional than he is

Meh, dude's pretty much exactly Kevin Lee, and is probably going to drop off hard once he gets pressured and beat up and starts doubting his own delusions.

Lol not a single former champion or even former title challenger

Kevin Lee was always funny, like or dislike him most people are still calling him fighter Kevin Lee when he gets brought up

I don't, but I don't see how that's an enjoyable character. If you're entertained by that, than you're more simple than anyone would have assumed

 

[Goutfather]

I give zero fucks about what a guy who tattoos his own face on his chest has to say.

lol wow he really did. he split that poor tiger’s head in half just to so his squinty face can peek through it. normally i’m a fan of obnoxious megalomaniacal self-promotion… when it’s tongue in cheek funny. but this guy is deadly self-serious.

Just had to throw the insult in there. It’s different, he talks shit and he fights well. It’s funny. I’m not lining up to buy an ilia t shirt but it’s making the fight build up better

 

[Black9]

Lol not a single former champion or even former title challenger

To be fair Josh Emmett did fight for the "interm" title with yair, but i agree his resume sucks ass.

However, that division needed at least a decent contender that Max didnt smoke lol

 

[Bork Neslar]

Volk by submision (strikes).

 

[pankrat]

Meh, dude's pretty much exactly Kevin Lee, and is probably going to drop off hard once he gets pressured and beat up and starts doubting his own delusions.

lol
you will find out he is waaay better.

Topuria might not be likeable but he is the real deal. You have to be blind to not see it still at this point.
Volk is a p4p talent so can win but Topuria is his most legit challenger to date besides Max.

 

[pankrat]

I don't, but I don't see how that's an enjoyable character. If you're entertained by that, than you're more simple than anyone would have assumed

It's entartaining in that he is very defiant and is certainly willing to walk the talk in the cage. Definitely more intriguing than a Paddy Pimblet, for example.
Dont necesarilly likeable, and of course you dont expect to hear intellectuals in this sport, but I can see why entertains people. And as a matter off fact he has already more social media followers than Volk coming from a country with zero mma tradition

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Sheesh I think he's married m8 but he's at least part Greek so you might have a shot.

You've got to be realistic about these things

Nicely done.

 

[Gotosleepho]

Guy seems like a certified d-bag.

 

[Blastbeat]

oh great, another guy who doesnt want to defend the belt if he gets it.
why the fuck does he want to fight McGoober aside from the money? it does fuck-all for his resume and Conor probably doesnt know who he is.

if Volk takes care of him within 2 rounds im gonna laugh
