Toupee blew it in the second round

[ReedRothchild]

He was pulling some Yoel Romero shit there

Exactly. Topuria fought and, most importantly, took damage like he just knew any one of his strikes was going to immediately end the fight.

He just threw caution to the wind and engaged in a firefight with a bigger and arguably more durable fighter who excels in these kinds of chaotic situations.

I think he and everyone else saw Max KOing Justin and just assumed, he’d be have no problem doing the same and could simply do it faster.

Topuria fought at one speed until he ran into a brick wall.

I wonder if they run it back if Ilia will focus on wrasslin.

[TimDuncan]

I doubt they ever run it back unless the pay KlJustin 8 figures

[Tongue]

Justin didn’t seem too interested in a rematch but I sure am lol

[M0NARCH]

I saw somebody online say “Wifey got the fight IQ in the divorce” LOL

[TimDuncan]

Brutal

[mjmj]

@Balls

He’s too quick for a heavyweight

I lost interest in MMA years ago but decided to watch last night. As the first Gane fight I’ve watched, this is what most stood out to me. He’s so damn fast. And hits like a fucking truck.

[DimethylSulfide]

You should go back and watch how he made Francis Ngannou look like Dan Gable.

This should have been his game plan to begin with. The blueprint has already been laid out.

He fell in love with his hands. The hubris of an undefeated fighter.

[DonFlamenco]

That was Topurias fight to lose. And that rose thing? I did it first

[Scrapdo]

Today I learned he’s not even Spanish??? wtf. It’s his entire schtick.

The matador, the bull on the big screen. The rose thing, mariachi walkout music. And he’s basically Russian born in Germany?

[liyon]

And made Jon Jones look like the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time!!!

[liyon]

Family immigrated to Spain when he was a teenager

[TimDuncan]

Hope that migrant pays his taxes, unlike Hazmat

[BrockbackMountain]

[StricklandRealMVP_NotCumsmat]

Mother fucker looks Spaniard

[KhalilSquarebush]

Georgia isn’t Russia. He’s from the same place Merab is from
