Topuria is a revolutionary talent in MMA imo. Dude is a straight up fortress with a mote around it lol been caught with one clean shot which was an opposite side “wonderboy” esc head kick by herbert at 155. Idk who’s gonna dethrone him at featherweight 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah it was brilliant. But u see he actually squared his stance as soon as he blocked Emmett' right hand which means it will be hard for him to defend a takedown for that position he needs to fix those very little data if he will fight Islam. P.S i want topuria to win that match
Obvious weakness of his stance is leg kicks but he knows how to handle it, example: Volk fight. You can land 3-5 but not more coz he'll adjust and blitz you before you can set up again.

Boxing. You’re describing basic principles of boxing

Watch boxing
His "flawless defense" is basic boxing
This is how I fight too chin tucked… hand fighting, peris good guard elbows blocking
Sean and ilia boxing champs get out of MMA you weirdos
Well, they do say protect yourself at all times.
Khamza will destroy those chicken fighters 😂
Isn't this just a core principle of Cus's peekaboo style made famous by Tyson?
This fight shut all people up who thinks Topuria can finish Makhachev😂

i just realized emmet did way better against topuria than volk/holloway did
He’s also defending with his feet by moving backwards as well.
Emmet has he flattest arches in his feet humanly possible
he’s so short his arm covers his whole body

Not to mention it forces Emmett to land on the elbow, which could break Emmetts hand
what 'I'm the best boxer in the UFC' actually looks like
Ilia is so good man
that's why he's weak to head kicks
So….. meayweather been doin it for years….. elbow blocks so you ready to strike back
This is the exact reason why Yair Rodriguez would destroy illa
I’m sure this is second nature at this point for him
What is your training back grounded? Your knowledge is high. Especially during the grappling breakdowns. Just wondering. Great work!
Boxing defence 101:
Topuria was born with these instincts, he merely honed them in the gym.
Pefect boxing ❤

If only Emmett went for a double leg 🤦🏾♂️😭
Y la lowkick que puede hacer posterior ?
Thats where you shoot the takedown

Taught this in my kick boxing class last night ❤
Of course, Ilia had impeccable defense, I am pretty sure he didn't want to end up with Parkinson's like Bryce Mitchell at the hands of Josh Emmett.
But never defend against Islam.
Easily end up like a Moicano choke 😂
Elite 🔥
emmet only has 1 overhand amd a chin
