Media UFC 298 Press Conference Discussion Thread

[Blanqa Blanqua]

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

Just noticed this.

I mean it’s not the same, but in considered context…

Anybody else see Paulo push Ian Garry coming down the stairs lmao?

Not with Colby until you can give him 10 pushups.

Costa also went over to "wake up" old man Volk. The dude is legit funny and looks in shape.

Should've been a comedian instead of a fighter sir.

 

[Conan the K-9]

Let's just hope he doesn't go sexually assaulting girls, punching old men, and throwing objects at buses.

I think he is already planning to fight that classy Senior citizen on saturday night
Quite conoresque!

My god i feel embarassed that ilia is representing spain

The conference was so cringe

 

[DC23]

Damn. Ian needs an impressive KO to salvage things. He’s capable. I have faith.

Plenty of time after he retires. Not a bad idea.

Ffs, please no...not another retarded Schaub lol

Impossible. Volk has class and is actually funny.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Love Volk as a man and a fighter, but I think he might lose this fight.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

You gotta love Volk, such a great guy. I hope he wins!

 

[MMAcolyte]

Neal has to walk out to that Ian Garry song that's on YouTube.

 

[whooty]

10-8 Volk, that was gold.

Topuria is trying too hard, plus it seems he's a little uncomfortable being in the spotlight, I think he's nervous and it's going to show during the fight. I think Ilia will be a champion, but I think he'll need to go the GSP route, because he's going to lose this one.

 

[Dirty Frank]

It was hilarious that Volk handled it in character lol

Volk emerged the clear winner of this press-con.
No real beef among the fighters here. You can cut through the braggadocio and realize they mostly respect each other.

 

[Marko Polo]

John Morgan’s questions are always garbage

Best comedian/fighter combo is our galaxy, everyone knows this.
