UFC 284: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski discussion thread

[ghostfacedup]

that's a draw .

[sooby]

i think either a draw or a win for Islam

this one is hard to judge kinda

[TurkBrah]

Needed 1 more round. Volky was gonna knock him out

[Gainzzz]

Fawwwwk, Volk is a legit animal. We should all feel bad for underestimating him. Shame that inbred fuk is probs getting the decision.

[Lastro]

holy fuark brahs if you had told me the fight would end with islam on his back i would have thought you were a retard

regardless of the outcome i hope volk stays at 155 and fights poirier, gaethje, chandler, connor, oliveira, etc

[blazenbb]

this better not be a fuken draw lets go VOLK

Sadly not. They will reward that ****g0t

[iloveus]

[TrueTruth]

What a final round. Get rekt squeeze-phucking cockroach.

50-45 for Volk, he advanced and carried every round while the other prick shot for the balls and backed away.

[bartosh]

lol? what fight are you watching?

[goingcia]

Embarrassing as fuark for Islam tbh. Massive respect to Volk.

[TurkBrah]

Sitting on someones back and not doing anything for minutes shouldnt give point.

[sooby]

volk is a tough son of a b tho

[Gainzzz]

Why was Volk so committed to grappling in the 5th? Was he looking for a moral victory? Did he think he was up? Islam was gassed, he should’ve got space and blasted him. Volk barely looks like he broke a sweat. Insane conditioning.

[Zere0wn]

I understand that on this point system islam won, but he spent the last 2 full rounds just holding on to volk. The first 3 were all close. The fight as a whole i think there's a strong argument volk won.

yea he wasted a minute trying to prove a point on grappling when he should have been trying to strike for a KO.

Islam won standing imo, surprisingly

Naw man. You are low iq if you dont see the strategy and the skill in it. Its not pretty to look at but try to sit on Volk’s back for a few seconds.

It was a fair win but Volk looked better somehow still.

[ghostfacedup]

Both fighters showed massive heart. Islam's striking was IMPRESSIVE as hell. Volk was incredible, showed great heart.

[Schnitzl]

Haha brah did you lose some money too ?

Nah brah, too many 50/50s to bet this one

[TrueTruth]

You gotta be sh*tting me with that decision BS. Unbelievable ffs. "Unanimous" lmao

Islam couldn't even grapple properly, he did ZERO damage to Volk on the ground, and that's the only thing he did was back away and waste time doing this crap for 25 minutes

Volk is a true badass. He doesn't even need to catch his breath lmao. Smooth post-fight interview

MMA judging can kiss my ass

[Zere0wn]

Islam won standing imo, surprisingly

I did miss a round, but the 4 i saw it was close and i'd give the edge to volk.

Islam won standing imo, surprisingly

I think Islam won the standing very slightly

Volk didn't win the fight as a whole for sure but the 5th round looked very bad for Islam as he get knocked down and was clearly gassed so there's a moral victory there I think. if there was a 6th round this might have turned into something different

[ninetynine8]

idk man i think ppl are underestimating volk, i think he'll put on the size better than most people do going up. Just seems like his bulldog frame will work well against islam

volk would win the rm btw, i don't think islam can do much better. He played his best game while volk missed a couple of oppurtinities

[bartosh]

Yeah Islam just landed some bombs and had great knees in the clinch. Half of islams falls weren’t from strikes, he was just trippin around

[Bluestar92]

Russian sanctions in the UFC scoring have been crazy in the last year. That +305 on the Volk looks nice assuming he can hold him off 5 rounds.

Edit: Took the +575 for decision or technical.

What the F*ck
