[QUOTE=CellyTech;1697999453]Yeah I had to go back and amend that pick to NGTD.
Went with:
Volk/Topuria O3.5
Merab Dec
Garry Dec
Rob Dec
Kopylov/Fluffy NGTD
Lemos ML
Nakamura KO
75/1[/QUOTE]
Damn, RIP your Nakamura KO. Everything else is spot on, mirin.
[QUOTE=Skylinerd1;1698010473]Neither Costa or Whittaker are top 5 of that division they are both journeymen. Its a complete joke that whittaker is rated 3rd atm.[/QUOTE]
it's just not a deep division historically imo
[QUOTE=gainslit;1698010513]Lol 30-27, joke.
Costa did far more damage, that should count more.[/QUOTE]
Could be argued for 30-27 based on shots but yeah Rob looked busted up. Overall though it doesn't matter if its 30-27 or 30-29 in this case. He clearly did win.
god damn I hate zuckerberg so much
he does literally everything I do (normie tier) but mogs me SO HARD
Time for the kids fight. These two look like my fukkin nephews.
shoulda put garry on the undercard and made costa 5 rounds
was volks defense that unclean in the holloway fights?
Holy ffffffff
RIP Volk, an era comes to an end
brutal agepill tonight brahs
Volk is done. That Islam knockout ended him.
that KO though. brutal
Holy fukkkkkk
Sad stuff
The 35 and over curse remains

The age statistic loses again lol.
[QUOTE=iwant2beswole;1698011233]brutal agepill tonight brahs[/QUOTE]
Yea. Pretty much everyone I expected to win lost (except for Whittaker) and it does indeed look like age. Cejudo, Neal, Volk.

Speed and reactions matter too much in the lower weight classes. Also volk didnt help himself coming back so fast from the islam ko

right in the feels
to be 27 again

It’s crazy statistically the prime is like 32-34 but once you hit 35 it’s just downhill
Cant take Topuria serious with the copycat mcgregor tattoos. Fukkn loser.
Volk fukked up by taking the Islam fight on short notice. Getting KOed by Islam....and then coming back FAST to fight Topuria.... his brain hasn't recovered... his chin hasnt recovered... and now his career may never revover.
Fukkn sad. I love volk. Wish things went differently.
Topuria calls out mcgregor. Fukk loser. Absolute wannabe
They should ban people from being behind the fighter and Rogan and the interview so fukin annoying to see all the selfies and chit happening

Yeah this is sad af to see him go out like this... hope he at least got PAID
this Ilia guy has a bright future, only 27
and the deal with it shades, i like this guy

Taking in those 30 seconds of fame..
Wow, I'm so sad.He's old, it was just too soon. Volk needs to take a long break. Let Illia defend the title once before he rematches him. Still don't think he'll win but he has a lot of mileage in a short period of time and a long break would be good for him. That being said, Illia vs Max looks like a crazy fking fight imo.

Athleticism is a helluva drug

Yup. Everyone thought this lol. But volk might be one of those bj penn/tony ferguson guys that fight way too long. His post fight after islam loss was telling
Is it age or defending with your hands down ?
Up against the cage too

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.
