@morningkombat: “This is a DEVASTATING setback in his career” 😳 LT & Chuck on the weight of this loss for Topuria — what it means for his career going forward and whether he can bounce back.

Austin Piela :

He was the final leg of my parlay, he never had a chance.

Comrade Coolpants :

He started to buy his own hype. He LITERALLY thought he was unbeatable.

tyler :

Quitting was ABSOLUTELY the right call. But it's still quitting, and losing by quit is a weighted grade and has a bigger effect on your GPA than a KO or submission does.

brandona1 :

I hope Justin realizes this is the peak and to please retire

Duhduh1999 :

ILIA IS THE MOST OVERRATED FIGHTER OAT.

615z53 :

Ilia never defended the 155 belt - no rematch needed he wasn’t some dominant champion

makes garces :

No rematch. Justin should retire. What better way? That was epic! Top of the mountain.

Neb :

He will never be the same.

1tachiochiha :

It wasn’t an off night for Ilia. Ilia fought the way he always fights. It was a career-defining performance from Justin.

migzx28 :

Justin has plaster in his gloves!

Jon Paul Crimi :

Don’t blame it on his divorce. He looked as good as he’s ever looked in that fight and he still lost.

Some guy :

He isn’t a 155lb fighter, even if he had to cut for 145lb. Gaethje is the naturally bigger guy and Ilia just couldn’t hurt him

cpa.jr :

Conor got submitted his first fight after winning the featherweight title, I think ilia will be alright

Charlie :

bro what r you talking about

Absie112 :

The whole idea of ilia vs Islam was people telling us he was elite on the ground. He’s absolutely not close to Islam level of grappler and with the size difference would be at huge disadvantage once taken down.

Douglas :

Topuria believed his own headlines

Z :

Immediate rematch is ridiculous

AL-Bundy-33 :

Illia almost finished Justin in the 2nd round. It wasn’t all 1 sided.

Der Unfassbare✝️ :

It was the haircut

Dattebayo :

Yeah the divorce messed him up, understandably so, and the fact Justin made comments on it made ilia fight more reckless and emotionally imo. Not taking anything away from Justin, it was a great performance by him

Uzeee :

Should be Arman vs Gaethje and Ilia vs Paddy winner of both fight each other for title !

Future City :

i think paddy is next for topuria the only right matchup

Paćo :

americafirst :

Let's not pretend Geatje wasn't just better
