Volk vs Ilia has so much to do with Aldo vs Mcgregor

[barillas]

Aldo and Conor were both undefeated at FW during the time of the fight, Volk and Topuria are also undefeated at FW
Both champions could cement them as the FW GOAT if they win
Conor and Ilia were very hyped trash talkers
Both fights were postponed
Both challengers were European
Both Conor and Topuria had 6 fight in the UFC before their title shot
Both challengers were 27 years old at the time of the fight
Both champions were fighting for the 16th time under the Zuffa banner

Add more parallels if you know

Aldo wasn't doing an old man gimmick though

 

[Gabe]

Also Emmett and Mendes are both similar styles and earned them their title shots. I like the comparison even though Illia isn’t getting as much hype yet.

 

[Rationality]

Both defending champs are known for their kicks.
Both challengers are associated with alcohol.
Both challengers make a big deal of how they dress and the lux lifestyle they lead as opposed to the champs who seem like regular guys.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Damn that's actually really weird no shit

 

[Domitian]

both challengers copied their tattoos from another guy

 

[Domitian]

will bump this thread if Ilia knocks out Volk in the first 20 seconds to show what a weird fucking world we live in.

[modulus]

Both Australian
Both fighting in the UFC
Both in their 30's
Both beat Jose Aldo
Both have facial hair
Both male fighters
Both own a whiskey company
Both speak English
Both coming off 2 losses against the champ in a weight class above them........

Both buying into a complete load of BS

 

[MigitAs]

Ilia 13 second KO confirmed

 

[Harlekin]

Also Emmett and Mendes are both similar styles and earned them their title shots. I like the comparison even though Illia isn’t getting as much hype yet.

Both Emmett and Mendes are from Team Alpha male.
I think Emmett had Danny Castillo as Corner man, maybe Mendes, too? Someone please check if they had same corner men.


Both title holders are bald and are old in fighting years.
Both challengers previously fought at 155 and knocked their opponent out.

Both speak English

Both guys english is hard to understand and has a heavy accent, you understand Ilia easier though.

 

[RonDante]

ilia is nothing like conor. He has no charisma whatsoever and no one likes him except aldo fanboys and misanthropic pessimists who hate successful people like volk

 

[Ayreon]

Both challengers and champions come from planet earth
Both challengers and champions come from a continent
Both challengers and champions come from a socalled nation

Isn't that fucking amazing

He just copying conor to be fair

Funny thing is I started writing this thread only to say about how the challengers were rising stars with hype, them I started looking at the number and weird connections like age, ufc and zuffa fights and I was amazed on how a lot of numbers matched both fights

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

So Volk gets KOd in 13 seconds?

age, ufc and zuffa fights are some weird coincidences

Imagine that

I remember Conor got in Aldo’s head saying he was too old as well. But yeah he’s clearly copied Conor on a lot of things.

Conor influenced almost every fighter into trying to be more controversial to promote fights
