Chapter 1: Who is Ilia Topuria and why is he a UFC superstar?
All right, guys, we are back with another amazing episode today. We have, in my opinion, the biggest superstar in the UFC right now, Ilya Teporia. This happened in a matter of less than 12 hours. I want to give a shout out to my good friend, John Shahidi. You know him as well, right? How do you guys know each other?
We meet each other in Las Vegas. I had, I don't know, a small conversation with him, but he seems to be a very nice guy. He tried to help us many, many times. So I appreciate him to help me every time.
That's awesome. Shout out, John. No, we appreciate you coming. I know you guys had a big night last night. What did last night mean to you that your brother...
It was so emotional for me to see him making his debut, see him win. It was something that we dreamed since we were kids. So seeing it in the reality, it was something very emotional to me and very happy.
All right, guys, we have an amazing podcast today. Ilya told us that this was his first podcast ever, so it's truly an honor to have him. Guy's a superstar. Before we get into it, if you guys have never tried the PrizePix app, you have to download it. Stop what you're doing right now.
You guys have seen me, I love to fire on sports, and I've literally tried every single app there is, and PrizePix by far is my favorite. What I like about PrizePix is instead of choosing teams, you're choosing individual players. Each player has a set projection and you either go more or less than that set projection.
Boys, if you're watching like UFC, for example, and you know what fighters are gonna perform on what nights, different stats, like significant strikes, takedowns, if you're really into UFC, you can really dial in and probably fire on PrizePix Big. I personally can't watch sports without firing on PrizePix. It just makes it so much more fun. Football's over now too, but NBA's still hot. NHL's hot.
All eyes are on Luka this week. Luka's all over PrizePix, so take advantage of that. Also, we got you guys on a sweet deal. Code NELK. If you use that code and put in $5, you get $50 for free. That simple. No strings attached on your first time using it. So take advantage of that code. That's for you boys. Download the PrizePix app. The best app in the game by far to fire on sports.
Let's get in the pot.

So wait, what was that like then? Who were you living with at the time when you were eight? With my brother and with my sister. And my grandma was taking care of us also and close family members. But without the parents, it's not the same, you know what I mean? So...
we had a difficult times but today i appreciate everything that that i lived because i wouldn't be here without that that experience and then you made it to spain when you were when we turned to when i was 15 years old finally we me and my brother we we went with my parents to spain and since since that moment we made the the gym where we training until today
and we meet the mixed martial arts i heard there's an interesting story with your mother with that i heard were you guys on a bus and she saw someone with cauliflower ear and then because at that at that time in spain they didn't have the culture of mixed martial arts at all no one knew anything about about that you weren't even training at this point at age 15. and we were doing the greek roman wrestling and we wanted to to kill with that discipline in spain also but they don't they don't have that sport also so either so
My mom saw in the street a man with a cauliflower ear. You can identify very fast a wrestler or a fighter. When you see that, you know not to fuck with that person. So my mom started to talk with that man and she told him like, I have two kids. They want to keep training. I don't know, maybe wrestling. And he said, I don't do wrestling, but I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
So take your kids and I will show you the gym. So when my mom came to home, she started to talk to us about the jujitsu, MMA and all that. And we didn't know anything at all. And I was like, I don't want to do anything with kimono because, you know, in wrestling, we don't use kimono.
