00:00Ilya, you lived up to your promise to be the first person to knock out Max Holloway, just
00:14how does it feel knowing another prediction you forecasted came to life?
00:17Very normal, very mundane. It feels like Monday. I don't know. I call this because I knew it.
00:39It's a surprise for a lot of people, but for me, it's like I knew it. I said it, and I did it.
00:50Was there anything about the fight that surprised you at all as it went? I mean, I know you
00:53thought he wasn't going to meet you in the middle when you pointed, but...
00:56This is what surprised me, that I pointed around and he didn't stop with me in the middle
01:00of the octagon, and he started some bullshit like this. It was like, you call yourself
01:06the bull. When you called me out, you said, I'm the bull, be a muddler is running from me.
01:12You never see a bull doing this, right? So yeah, that surprised me a little bit.
01:20So I had to change the game plan a little bit, but at the end of the day, I get the knockout.
01:26Is that why you brought the BMF belt today after the fight, because he did not do that?
01:31I never understand the fact that why they didn't put the BMF belt on the line. It has to be on the
01:38line since the first day, but they don't want to make it official. I'm going to make it official
01:43by myself. Dana was in here and he did say that Max is still the BMF champion.
01:51It's going to be a little bit weird from them to promote him as a BMF, but it is what it is.
01:58No problem. I'm going to keep it in my house. The BMF champion has been knocked out in their
02:05next fight every time they've won that. Now I'm the new baddest motherfucker world champion.
02:13Dana, when he was in here as well, he said the rematch with Alexander Volkanovsky is going to
02:17be next. He bet you in the cage. I know it's a lot of respect between you two. Is that the fight
02:22you think is the right matchup to make for your next title defense? Yeah, to be honest, at this
02:26point there's no one else that deserves the shot more than Volk. He's been a great champion.
02:32He's a legend in the featherweight division, so he deserves the shot without any doubt.
02:39At the same time, I'm going to take a small break. We'll see how the things will
02:48hang on in the featherweight division. Maybe he accepts a fight with some new contender and
02:54it doesn't play out like he is planning. I'm going to have to face someone else. I don't know.
03:01Would you be okay if Alex fought Diego Lopez for an interim title in February?
03:06That's not my business. I don't care. When I'm going to be ready, I'm just going to ask the UFC
03:15when, where, who is the opponent, and I will be there. I'm going to do the same thing as always.
03:21Would your break be longer than February? Because I know you had said on media day
03:26before you spoke with us that you would be okay to go into Australia, and then you told us that
03:30you're not down for it. The thing is, I'm 27 years old. I don't have any hurry. I'm 27 years old.
03:43I'm a world champion. I just defended my belt. I want to go step by step. The concept I always
03:51follow is that the slow is the fastest way to get where you want to be. I want to choose my steps
03:57very, very carefully. I'm curious, one of the judges in front, one of the judges gave the
04:07first round for Max. I'm curious how you feel about that. I never concentrate on the scores,
04:16to be honest. I'm always looking for the finish. I don't care about that.
04:21We saw Sergio Ramos enter the octagon. You handed him the belt.
04:25What was it like celebrating with him?
04:28The celebration is not over. We're going to keep celebrating after this press conference.
04:38Trust me, it's going to be much better than the one you saw inside the octagon.
04:43And I'm sure you saw, but Real Madrid won 4-0 at El Clasico today.
04:48They won 4-1?
04:494-0.
04:504-0?
04:51Yeah.
04:51They lost.
04:52Or they lost. They lost. They lost. I messed up. I blew up. I lost. I blew up. I mixed them up.
04:58It's my fault.
04:59No way. No problem. Alamadrid, anyways.
05:13So my next question will be in English.
05:19What does it feel to knock out a guy who has never been knocked out?
05:26It feels good.
05:27It feels good.
05:33I have a question for you.
05:34What was your impression of the Georgian team?
05:39What did you think of their performance?
05:41I was very happy. I was very happy to be able to play with this guy.
05:45I was very happy to be able to play with this guy.
05:47I was very happy to be able to play with this guy.
05:50I was very happy to be able to play with this guy.
05:52Congratulations on the win. November 2019, your final fight before you got signed to the UFC, I was there in Bahrain watching you fight.
06:17That was your first knockout win. Before that it was all submissions.
06:20And it seems like you've fallen in love with your boxing ever since then and you've done some incredible things.
06:25Was it that moment of tasting the knockout win or is it something that you decided that you wanted to change in your fighting style?
06:31It's something that I decided to change in my fight style because before that I had all submissions.
06:39So I was starting to find some problems inside the octagon because all my opponents were
06:45expecting from me takedowns in the ground game. So I was like,
06:53I have to be a very complete fighter. I don't have to have any holes in any area of the game,
07:01in the striking or in the ground game or in the wrestling. I have to be a very complete fighter.
07:05So since that moment when I felt the knockout, I was like, I have the power so I have to
07:13keep working on that and I'm going to be a very, very complete fighter and very, very hard to beat.
07:19And yeah, because you've used your boxing most of your fights. I know we saw some of your grappling
07:23against Bryce Mitchell. You took Max Holloway down in round one. Was that part of your game
07:28plan to take him down or is that just something you saw in the fight?
07:31Yeah, because at the end of the day it's mixed martial arts what we do. It's not only boxing or
07:36striking. So I shot the takedown because I
08:06wanted to keep my game plan open and look at the fight as a whole because I thought I could use
08:20a little bit more of my strategies, use a little more of my feints up top.
08:25And one last one for me. Did anything surprise you in terms of his approach,
08:30his game plan, his striking, the exchanges that you guys had?
08:33Not at all, not at all to be honest. The thing that I was expecting from him
08:41that he wouldn't be easy because he's a great striker. He proved that many, many times inside
08:49the octagon. He's one of the best strikers in the featherweight division and in the UFC,
08:53very patient inside the octagon, very good rounded in the striking. So I was expecting
09:01all the good things from him but at the same time I know how I can handle all that kind of things
09:08inside the octagon. Thank you.
09:10Just over here, Ilya. In a hypothetical fight against Islam, how do you see that fight going?
09:15If it goes to the ground, do you feel confident that you could outgrapple him
09:18or would you try to keep it standing? My mindset is always the same. I'm always
09:24looking to achieve things that no one could. So someone could submit him.
09:33I will be the first one to submit him. Any specific submission?
09:38Now I heard some love from some idiots but it's going to happen.

15:30You said that if you meet Islam Mahachev on the street, he will need a hospital.
15:36The question is, you were born in Germany, and at the age of 15 you moved to Spain.
15:42What can you tell us about the streets? Thank you.
16:00The question is, what do you know about the street because you were born in Germany and then you moved to Spain.
16:18Can you speak in English, please? Thank you.
16:20Can you speak in English, please?
16:28Ilya just asked who brought this guy in this room.
16:32I've come by myself.
16:34So you're going to have to stand up and leave the room by yourself.
16:38Why is that?
16:50It's been a long time since I've had a chance to talk like this.
16:52I'm so thankful for this opportunity.
16:54I'm so thankful for this opportunity.
16:56I can't believe I'm setting a new record in history.
16:58I can't believe I'm setting a new record in history.
17:00First of all, you were born in Germany.
17:02Your first mistake was to go to contenders and to champion.
17:04Your first mistake was to go to contenders and to champion.
17:06We're all nervous about that in our country.
17:08We're all nervous about that in our country.
17:10Street fighter.
17:12Street fighter.
17:14Street fighter.
17:16You didn't do anything wrong.
17:18It was my dream to become a champion in my country.
17:26It was a fact that everything was going well for me.
17:33I knew how hard I had to work for this project, which was my dream.
17:41It was a dream come true.
18:11Was there a moment when you thought it was going to be difficult to knock him out?
18:18No, not at all. I had not hit him with any significant blow.
18:24He really did what I expected him to do.
18:29I aimed at the ground, he moved around the octagon a lot.
18:34Then he tried to throw me a few kicks in the middle.
18:39But I knew that little by little he was going to get to the point where he was going to have to stop.
18:44Because he had injured his leg with the calf kicks.
18:49Then he had started a fight march so that he was also focused on the fight.
18:56I gave him a lot of distractions so that later I could develop my combinations well on my feet.
19:05I did not want him to be comfortable anywhere.
19:10I did not want him to say that he was hitting me here, but that I could knock him out or kick him.
19:15In the end, they are mixed martial arts, you have to know how to mix them well.
19:20I asked Deina if your next fight was going to be in Spain.
19:25And she answered me, we need to go to Spain.
19:30If you had to choose a time window, when would you like it to be?
19:34In the summer, after the summer, do you want to stop for a while?
19:38Right now I have to think about the fight after the weight cut.
19:44After everything, it gets a little complicated.
19:47In the summer, I would like to be more on vacation with my family.
19:51After the summer, after the fight holidays, it's a little fucked up.
19:55So it would have to be before the summer.
19:58Well, before the summer, we hope to see you.
20:01Then I also asked Deina if, in the end, you have bet on Holloway, you have bet on Volkanovsky, two legends,
20:07that if he considered you in the top of the historical division within the featherweight.
20:12In fact, if you beat a legend and another legend, you become a legend.
20:16What position do you think you are currently in the division at a historical level?
20:20I do not like to say that kind of thing.
20:23I like people to tell me that kind of thing.
20:25I come and do my job.
20:29I feel that I am the best in the world.
20:31Every time I am put to the test, I try and I show it.
20:34So, since they put you on a pedestal, you are one of the best in history,
20:40that would not even be nice for me to say.
20:45And to finish, we have seen how you shared on social networks, before the fight,
20:48a video with many children sending you support.
20:51I know that one of your goals is to be an inspiration for them.
20:54Do you think that from now on, mixed martial arts will be a sport that is taught directly in schools,
21:00as it is traditionally done with judo, for example?
21:03It could be, why not?
21:05The truth is that it would be super good.
21:07Because it is what I tell you, mixed martial arts, many people associate it with violence and everything,
21:14and it is totally the opposite.
21:16People who practice mixed martial arts later are the noblest people,
21:21and the one who transmits more peace than others.
21:25So, it would be a good idea.
21:28I had never seen it that way, but it could be proposed.
21:33Thank you very much, Ilia, and congratulations on that victory.
21:35Thank you very much.
21:36Ilia, about your brother.
21:37Ilia, hello.
21:40First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your victory.
21:43I know that it was not easy for you, but you did your best,
21:48and now you are in Georgia.
21:52It was a great performance.
21:55My brother is learning English, and you are learning Georgian.
21:58I am learning Georgian.
21:59Yes, you are learning Georgian.
22:01I would like to ask you a few questions in detail.
22:04I would like to ask you a few questions in detail.
22:07What was the game plan during the fight?
22:10What did you do?
22:12What were the main accents?
22:15The main accents were that it was a mixed martial art,
22:18and the main reason for the fight was the first blow.
22:21The first blow was the main reason for the fight.
22:24The first blow was the main reason for the fight.
22:27But I also wanted to say that it was not me,
22:31and I knew that I would win from a great distance.
22:34and I knew that I would win from a great distance.
22:37My game plan was to not hit the head,
22:40and to not hit the head,
22:43so that my opponent would not be able to
22:46use my combinations.
22:49so that my opponent would not be able to
22:52use my combinations.
22:55Because it is not like Martos Strikings,
22:58where he can hit from a very high distance.
23:01So I wanted to say that it was not me.
23:04So I wanted to say that it was not me.
23:07So I wanted to say that it was not me.
23:10There was another question.
23:13In this fight,
23:16the BMF Chamber was officially affected.
23:19The BMF Chamber was officially affected.
23:22The BMF Chamber was officially affected.
23:25Q1. What do you think about the fact that BMF Kamarik will be held in Georgia?
23:38A1. Yes, it will be held in Georgia. It will be held in Spain and it will be held in Georgia for 8 years.
23:46Q1. Are you looking forward to it?
23:48A2. Yes, we are looking forward to it.
24:18Q1. What do you think about the fact that BMF Kamarik will be held in Georgia?
24:23A1. Yes, we are looking forward to it.
