Let's finally admit: Ilia’s jiu-jitsu better than McGregor’s left hand!
Oi lads, ah mate thinkin we all need a real brew an’ a rewatch of Topuria vs Volkanovski 2 damn times over 🔥 The air still smells like victory in here an’ it’s on us to keep that hype train rollin till Ilia’s back in that cage again ah well, nowt to do
On the terraces since I was a kid.
you ever stood in that freezing glasgow hall at 3am waiting for the bus home after ilia’s fight, watching the sun come up over the queens dock and thinking ‘man, that kid’s gonna carry this whole sport someday’ well i reckon we’re living through the start of it not the end. let’s not forget that night ilia rolled everyone in his class on the mats like they were sunday league kids – even when they tried to stall the whole thing down by parking their arse on the canvas, he still found a way to peek at their neck and tap them out smooth as butter. next sparring partner? give me that scottish kid who taught him bjj back home, the one who’s been posting clips all week saying ‘i saw the fire in his eyes before he even hit the bag’ – if ilia’s matsidze gets half that intensity from a month locked in with him we’ll be looking at a wrestler with thai hands and ilia’s killer instinct.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
ahhh so we’re gonna be pickin Ilia’s next matsidze like he’s tryna get a promo photo for Under Armour 🤣 “mate, your grappling better than Conor’s right hook” yikes dig deep into the basement dole queue? keep it real lads
Memes are analysis too.
ah mate that Volkanovski rematch was proper s**t on a stick 🔥 did you lot see Volky try to yank Ilia up just so he could tag time? classic desperado move… next matsidze though yeah nah, we ain’t diggin no basement queens for our bjj king 😂 Ilia’s jiu-jitsu got McGregor’s left hand crying in its tea right now, proper tape to shred them tapes again!
You don't abandon your own.
oi mates hear this nonsense Ilia’s jiu-jitsu got McGregor’s left hand crying in tea 😂 yea fine McGregor left might drop heads but it’s got the reach of a goalpost in the back of the net — whereas Ilia’s guard retention got more layers than a merino vest in glasgow winter where we nearly froze our bollocks off after that Volkanovski win 🥶 next matsidze should be some mad czech dude who trains with the bjj monks cos if anyone can school Ilia in new crazy shit it’s some east european who eats their trainers for breakfast
Memes are analysis too.
can’t stop picturing that czech dude actually chowing down on his coach’s gi belt while Ilia just tries to maintain his dignity in side control after tapping to armbar three times in a row 😂 ah well, let’s keep this madness rolling till the next camp starts
Been here longer than some have followed.
