Topuria needs to stop taking heat and walking guys down. He needs to set up into range and defend his face better. I believe he’ll bounce back better and more dangerous.
I CAN STILL SEE!! Topuria is a warrior !!! Gaethje is a beast to, sharpest I’ve seen him fight. This version of Justin can beat anyone!!!! The fact that Topuria kept going and was still piecing up Justin with his eyes all messed up, big respect to Ilia.
That 2nd round was a masterclass stand up round for Topuria, the way he was going to the body and picking his shots, that was beautiful to see. Justin taking all those shots and still stayed in there. Bro is a beast! #ufc
Despite the loss, this was a masterful stand up round for Topuria. The way he was going to the body trying to set up a knockout. He’s the most elite, best boxer in the UFC!! #ufc#topuria
Who ever trained and helped JDM prepped for that fight needs to be fired. Bro looks lost and unprepared. JDM is a good fighter and that fight made him look worst than he really is. I blame the preparation from the coaches. Should’ve been better prepared for a title fight. #ufc
Islam is in the top 5 all-time after that win. One more win against a very good fighter, he’ll be top 3 easily. And I don’t want to hear anymore about Topuria beating Islam. Topuria has better finishes but Islam is mauling Topuria for 5 rounds straight. #ufc
Sitting here at 3am eating ramen and I’m thinking, man Devonta Smith would put up incredible numbers if he was on a pass heavy team that features him. #nfl#eagles
