I'm rooting for Max but just seems like it's Illia's time right now. Hope I'm wrong though.

Same feeling

Ilia’s on a crazy momentum streak

I’d love max to win but I don’t see it happening.

Conor aside, 145 has been a division of long reigning elite tier champs. Looking forward to seeing if Topuria is the next one up.

Didn't realize the height difference was so much.

Was thinking about who Topuria reminded me of, sort of like Carlos Alcaraz in tennis from a skills/evolution stand point.

Would it really shock anyone if Topuria *****es out and shoots for a takedown?

Especially if he’s getting his face jabbed into hamburger meat.

I’m sure it will be a cinematic masterwork.

same reach I guess.. still harder to punch upwards. Should be a fun fight to watch

It’s wild Ilia thinks he’s some KO artist with that finish rate. He has to mix the martial arts. His strength is in his versatility especially on the ground.

I was listening to Morning Kombat and they brought up that Max has intentionally increased his punching power. Not to say he’s got one punch KO. But his last two fights were finishes. There’s probably a lil heft to them T Rex arms now. Top two fights are great.
