Called it on Topuria for a long time. The man is so God dam good YEARS beyond his age. Nobody is dropping him for a long time. Not max, not movsar. He's better everywhere then anybody in the division.
Going to be sad now watching volk go on a ferguson like downfall

[QUOTE=Schnitzl;1698010623]Damn, RIP your Nakamura KO. Everything else is spot on, mirin.[/QUOTE]
Haha yeah brah Nakamura and Volk sunk it.
Only had £10 on the ticket but £750 is £750. Unlucky.

[QUOTE=Scorpion613;1698016153]Just as predicted! Had a sick win last night. I’ve been on fire lately. I think volk is finished.

[QUOTE=Schnitzl;1698012363]Volk is 35, he could take a year+ break and still come back at 36. Barboza is 38 and is 2-0 in his last 2 so I wouldn't count out Volk completely.
Having said that, who does Ilia fight next? There's not many who I think can do it. I'd like to see Evloev get an opportunity, Emmett is he gets another 1-2 wins maybe but not many others. Too early for Diego Lopes, I think he needs a top 15 next and then top 10, top 5, champ.[/QUOTE]
Max.

Max doesn’t deserve to be on the main card so how does he deserve a title fight. Dude is a boring crybaby chode, mediocre at best, let Gaethe stomp him

No way mayne. Ilia has legit devastating power that the division hasn't seen since Conor. Max's boxing gets overrated because he throws a lot. He is a top tier fighter but he's way too hittable to beat someone like Ilia.
It's simply a new era. It was going to happen at some point. Thank fuk it's not another inbred Dagestani crotch sniffer.

Idk man, he's yet to face someone who puts in the output that max does. He has 5 round experience but that's vs Emmett someone who just throws bombs and is honestly not a top 5 fighter. I think Max takes it 3 rounds to 2. And it's not like Max hasn't fought heavy hitters like Dustin for example. I guess this Geathje fight will be very telling because if Geathje can't put him down, Illia doesn't have a chance in hell to do it.

Costa Whittaker was a **** fight and a robbery shows how ****ty ufc judging is. Whittaker didn’t do **** but litter patter and run his ass off. Costa beat the **** out of him and still “lost”

Ilia came at alex with vengeance
Volk could've not gotten hit during that ferocious combo but he tried to bang back with a out of position right hand

once again what a finish!
slip the jab, go downstairs to the body, upstairs, step back and right on the money with the overhand right, left hook at the end wasn't even necessary.

Volk looked okay up until the KO but Topuria was the one moving forward and stalking Volk.
Never seen him on his back foot so often like that.

Maybe I don't remember but where does this "Ilia has devastating power" come from. He couldn't put Jai away (Jai was piecing him up), Emmett, heck even Youssef Zalal. Recency bias because he connected right on the sweet spot with Volk or I'm missing something? I mean his boxing is great but I think Emmett hits way harder.

I've never seen the Zalal fight but you can't expect anyone to have a 100% KO rate, and it was early in his career. Ilia is someone who noticeably improves fight-to-fight as well.
There is more to someone having devastating power than just a string of one shot KOs imo (which Ilia does have). You can tell when he lands clean it fkin hurts. He might not have finished Emmett but he did drop him + Emmett looked like he had been hit with a baseball bat at the end of the fight.
He beat the fuk out of Bryce and dropped him a couple of times (iirc). He was rocked hard which allowed Ilia to ragdoll him on the ground. It could have easily been a KO/TKO.
Emmett is a big puncher but he has 4 KO/TKOs in 14 UFC fights. If there's any recency bias I think it's from his last fight. That was just a perfect punch. If you look at Ilia's fights, when he lands clean, his opponents either get fukked up or go down. Emmett doesn't have that imo. Not many fighters do. The last I remember at 145 was Conor.

Miscusi, misremembered. Fair analysis, strong respectful glazing, great paragraphs for easy reading. 29-28 from all thee judges - Gainzzz.

Topuria is very good and he is very young as well relatively speaking. Volk IMO came back too soon. If there was any weakness Volk had it was his chin. He might have messed up and his chin may never be the same. He needs to take a year off minimum to recover before he fights again and IMO it shouldn't be against Topuria. Give him a tune up fight vs a top 5 contender.

I picked Volk to win tbf. I’ve never been a real fan of Ilia but I respect his fighting style/skill.

Never seen a figher get KO like that and come back decisevely...
I think Volk is done sadly.
