Brothers, I have shared I have been in a fight when I was 12 and pissed on this bigger stronger 13yo who was trying to bully me when I was also 12 in summer camp. I learned from both and partially training boxing and will start training kickboxing so I can teach my future son(s) how to defend and standup for themselves and stand up for their friends and brother if needed. If you have been in a fight or fights growing up or as an adult man, would you share: - if this is why you are training to be a fighter now and in our brotherhood - what you learned from the fight and was it with a friend, your brother, male cousin, or someone who you did not know - how was your experience affect how you will raise your future (or current) son(s) to grow into masculine men who can defend themselves Sharing this with all of us helps us learn and grow as men, which is also why we are all in this brotherhood!

Jokes aside, let's look at some facts. Almost everyone I see underestimates Justin. The guy's been in there with the best of his era, had some absolute wars, and won many of them. His brutal knockouts of Poirier, Cerrone, Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Tony Ferguson + his recent beatdowns of Pimblett and Fiziev, show that you CAN NOT underestimate the guy's power. However, put simply, Topuria is an absolute monster. While his wide stance does leave him vulnerable to leg kicks (something which Gaethje is very good at), I believe that as long as Ilia stays patient, avoids reckless 50/50 exchanges, and uses his skills and fight IQ to control the pace with feints, head movement, jabs & intelligent pressure, he'll be able to find a knockout shot. If Topuria is unable to deal with Gaethje's leg kicks and/or becomes overly reckless and trades shots, Justin may very well punish him for it. However, my best bet is still Topuria by KO, probably somewhere around rounds 1-3 Remember tho: You can NEVER know for sure who's going to win a fight. We've seen bigger upsets before. So what do you guys think?

My view of him has been an absolute roller coaster. At first, I thought that he was, put bluntly, a complete idiot who was trying to get eyes on him in whatever way he could. However, the action in his fight vs Blaydes was impressive, to say the least, and probably earned him a mob of fans. But then he had to go and talk smack about Ilia and Alex, going after their families and making it personal, which is a pretty low-level move if you ask me. Now though, when I watch him goofing around on the UFC Embedded vlogs, I just can't help but laugh. The guy has a bigger than life personality, and some of the jokes he made in the vlogs were genuinely funny. He literally went from making a smart point about testing Lewis' heart and will to fight, to doing a star wars themed lightsaber battle inside the octagon. So what's your view on him and his antics, and do you think he can beat Lewis?

I’m Aman from India 🇮🇳Honestly, one big reason I joined is because I’ve dealt with a lot of insecurity and fear growing up. People used to talk shit, judge me, and I got tired of feeling weak mentally and physically. So I wanted to challenge myself, learn fighting, build confidence, become stronger, and get out of that mindset completely. Trying to improve myself little by little now 💪Respect to everyone here pushing themselves too. What got you guys into fighting/combat sports in the first place?
