negative rizz from ilia.

Did seem a bit that way.

I think with all the fuss from UFC he might have assumed the crowd would be behind him.

He seemed a little out of sorts by the end.

I don't think it will effect his performance in cage though

Topuria went full heel and straight up ripped off Conor in the worst possible way. That shit had Ian Garry cringing

This guy comes out and gets boo’d to bits by the neutral crowd

he immediately starts interrupting volk, but his English isn’t good enough to say something hard hitting and his voice is too squeaky

literally says “do something” over and over

grabs volks belt, the crowd starts booing him, volk doesn’t freak out and comes back with the “enjoy it, cause that’s the last time you touch it for a very long time” or what have you

his head starts dipping


im sure there’s more but this was bad for ilia. He is not mcgregor, he just does a poor imitation that turns people off due to how obvious it is

Volk destroying Topuria in the press conference, Topuria just repeating "shut the fuck up"

Topuria was trying too hard. His ultra-arrogant 'heel' approach in the lead-up has been so clearly fake...but I think so many casuals don't really know who he is, so he had to try something I guess?

 

[Conor Strickland]

Feels like the great value version of Conor vs Aldo but still can't wait for the fight lol

 

[MRT]

He is trying hard to generate some hype, because most casuals probably don't even know who he is...but yeah, the arrogant heel approach is transparently fake.

Lol Topuria is obviously flustered. Volk is trolling the shit out of him.

Transparent, perfect word for it

Lol at Costa pushing Garry off the stage

I changed tabs and missed it

Went to upload of full presser and found it, lol.

It's at 28:30 if anyone else did the same

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

lmao Neil looking older than Old man Volk.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

He’s a wannabe Conor

 

[Sean_wongster_wongmastter]

He’s going to chase red panty night so hard if he beats Volk.

 

[RonDante]

Henry has no drive left, it’s a shame cause we all know how talented he was, and he decides to just retire, come back after 3 years of ring rust. I think he knows

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Merab a nice guy, always fooling around and smiling, but looked intense there.

Fuck yeah.


WAR MERAB!

 

[Sean_wongster_wongmastter]

To be fair, there is A LOT of people trying to be Conor.
