UFC on ABC 5: Emmett vs. Topuria

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

I agree he has a low to mid ceiling. Like he is not beating top 20 fighters. I just feel he might surprise you with how well he does. Maybe I'm being a Stan but I like him

"We'll see" isn't an argument bro 

If Topuria doesn’t finish Emmett in 2 rounds he will get finished. I’ve been betting on Topuria every single fight since he signed with the UFC. His first fight with Zelal he came out strong but gassed out in the end. Almost got KO’d by Jai in London and countryman Bryce who lives in a bus put a pace on him and outwrestled him. 

Disregard Emmett’s last loss him traveling to Australia def took a toll on him and we all know what Yair would do too to anybody including Topuria. In fact Emmett fought pretty good in that fight clipped Yair and took him down after had it been anybody else but Yair they would’ve been KO’d  that temple shot was nasty. Unfortunately Emmett made a mistake and got subbed being on top. Those body shots drastically slowed him down but Topuria doesn’t fight like that. 

Topuria is brawler so and Emmett. I believe whoever lands clean shot first goes down and gets finished on the ground. 

P4P hardest hitter at 145 i would say Emmett if we are talking about just a single punch.

Hard to predict Emmett has the experience, gas tank and chin over Topuria. It could play out 2 ways Pavlovich vs Blaydes where Topuria is Pavlovich or Kattar vs Giga where Emmett is Kattar showing kids levels to this game. Giga made a huge mistake he came out very fast like it was a 3 rounder and gassed out which cost him that fight. 

These odds don’t make sense at all -300 on Topuria who got outwrestled by Bryce and Emmett is much bigger and stronger than this countryman. 

I will take over 1.5 rounds in this fight to me it’s the safest bet. 

Mitchel didn't outwresle Topuria, I want to know what meth you were smocking to come up with that conclusion when in reallty, Mitchel got him down once out of like 15 attempt and didn't achieve much with it, 

Also, Usually if a wrestle like Mitchel get multiple takedown attempts on you, He will get you down eventully, Literlly watch any other Bryce Mitchel fight, Topuria showed elite grappling defence by keeping it to a minumon

@Egor22 

what you said? How you said Topuria gasses vs zalal in the end? Topuria caught te fight with 5 days, make the weight and win the 3 rounds with a guy that have 4 wins in a year in the UFC. After this fight Zalal never been the same again, Topuria destroid all of his dreams in 15 minuts, Topuria soend a lot of energy in td, subatemps and the only moment that not smash zalal was the las 1-2 minuts, these not is gasses this is what happen when you know that have a win in short notice.

Topuria have better cardio that anyone of the division, he looks better when ufc put more level fighters in front he. These week destroid emmet, i dont now if take 1 round or 4 but only one thing is true, Emmmet dont end this fight.

I’m from Alicante (Spain), im very friend of Aleks (Ilia Beother) and guys, put all your money in ilia finish, Topuria pay the Summer.

Emmet is a predictible man, Yair pass iver him so easy… really see any chance on topuria? These guy only have one big lucky punch and i see topuria train, and topuria have and iron chin and a lion heart, hes ready to die if is necessary to win, for Emmet is her biggest pay in UFC, he want the money and come home, for topuria is the next step in his dream and he work so hard for him.



For talking about another fighters, i like Taira, Magny and Ribas. Taira looked better fight after fight, Rodriguez is good opponent but Taira put to sleep him, Magny and Rivas are the bodyguards of the champs, put the line of the people than can be champ and people that not, Barber and Rowe have good fighters but men, different levels here, saturday see it. 

The other fights anything can happen, Zhalgas and Emmers have a good chance for stay in UFC and i thing these two win here fights, very good trainning camps and you can see that these guys end contract ik these fight. 

For put some Dogs, Peek is a **** but Mariscal not is better, no cardio striker vs not bad grappler, im going with the grappler and the other dog that can win for me is Loik, the fans fight of these event but i think that Loik have more fight IQ, score better and take the UD in a high level fight. 

IF YOU WANT CHANCE YOU SUMMER:

- STEP 1: Sell your hause, car and anything you have for make all the money you can before saturday.
- STEP 2: Going to your favorite bookie. 
- STEP 3: Put all 3/4 of your money on topuria win into distance an 1/4 in topuria win and less than 2.5 rounds. 
- STEP 4: Thank me later and when you have childs you are obligate to put Ilia to name him.
- STEP 5: Buy better hause. better car and change your woman for another more young. 

Pro meat rider here ladies and gentleman.

Emmett vs. Topuria
Josh Emmett, TKO, R2
Both of them has bomb in hands. Definitely they will throw bombs each other and Emmet will ko Topuria. Topuria's striking is really good but he shows weak striking defense. If topuria want win the fight he need to use he's wrestling and ju jitsu skill. But emmett is also good wrestler  he will defend well. they will trade bomb each other and emmett will brutally kol him.

Emmett 8% really? Topuria's chin always widely open when he throw punches. Emmett is strongest hitter in 145. They will fight in boxing range. They have similar exchange range. Emmett will ko him in his range.

@GAROVAL23 

To say Topuria has better cardio is crazy did you ever watch his fights? 

Topuria will be at disadvantage in this fight size wise. Emmett is a huge guy, Topuria won’t be able to wrestle him plus Emmett has chin. I do believe we’re going to see Emmett putting a beating on Topuria here. Topuria might win 1st round but later in the fight he stars gassing out and Emmett will exploit it. 

I had the same thought process about Kattar vs Giga. Ppl had so much hype behind Giga elite kickboxer, undefeated in the UFC etc and Kattar coming off a brutal one-sided fight against Max. One trick pony Kattar jab all day and hope the opponent doesn’t move their head. Emmett has wrestling, left hook and power. What happened to those who picked Giga over Kattar?

I got Emmett by showing levels to Topuria. They’re pushing Topuria way to fast here IMO. No offense to all Topuria fans.

Lol at all these fools picking Emmett over Topuria.

Just say you are a casual who doesn't have a clue

Please guys, please bet Emmett. Put the house on it. 

Please give me better odds on Topuria. 

And when I pile up the cash I will give you the address of your local homeless shelter for you to move to

@Egor22 

definitly you dont know who is Ilia Topuria. Tell me something satudarday 😉

Topuria is on other level. And if you think that emmet can knockout Ilia you are crazy, you look how recover after the kick from Herbert? If another fighter recive this kick stay sleeping 3 months, and he come back and destroid Jai in stricking. I see Ilia trainning with Merab and another top fighters, i see him recive big punches from top boxers and he stay up and landing bombs,  man only volk can stop him in these division, Emmet is a very good figther, i bet him vs Kattar, but  Ilia is a top level fighter, its imposible that Emmet stay more than 2 rounds, i give him max 10 minuts. 

@SenselessSun 

i dont know what is pro meat rider but you more 😂😂

Keep calm and put your money on Topuria. 

@Rah123 

You sound like you work in the local grocery shop and telling everyone please bet on Emmett so i could get better value on Topuria at -300. I’ve seen these boys on the stock market forums all of them were kids that were bragging about big bets bla bla but in reality their max bet is $100. If you’re laying juice on Topuria -300 good luck. Topuria was -190 against Bryce but -300 against Emmett LOL

@Rah123 

BTW Aren’t you that guy who was so loud telling bet the house on Henry he’s going to make it look easy? I went back and copied all your responses. I bet you’re delusional trying to impress people how good you are.

1) I really like your theory of Cejudo KO. Makes sense. 

There is zero chance Aljo CoMain is taking down Cejudo.

In reality Aljo took Cejudo down 4 times

2) I am super confident in him. Just like I was super confident in John Jones against Cyril Gane. Just like I was confident in Islam Makhachev against Charles Oliviera. There is a championship level of fighter that I have faith and will put my money on every time. Henry Cejudo is that level in my opinion. If I am wrong then I am wrong, but I don't think I will be. 

3) You are going to be very disappointed my freind. Aljo is getting schooled.

OK BUDDY!
