Islam ended Volk

[Zab3ast]

Topuria should thank Islam for handing him the belt on a platter

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

stupid take.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

I lol'd

 

[DaysOfThunder]

I agree. It weakened Volk, going up and down and psychologically, after Islam losses, not the same.
What will Volk do now.? Doubt he gets an immediate rematch. That's 3 losses in a row. Hope we don't get to see a Tonny Ferguson repeat.

Volk ended Volk when he took that late replacement fight after binge drinking.

Yea the stars aligned perfectly for ilia.

I'm not saying Ilia wouldn't have won anyway but you're crazy jf you don't think the Islam KO had an effect.

Ilia was also brilliant for going in like Conor and talking all that shit as well lol. Just perfect.

Maybe, but age had more to do with it.

Age of course but it was far too soon for him to fight again.

yes, too soon, especially for a 35yo

He was 50-45ing Holloway and KOing title contenders fewer than two years ago. Isn't it possible that he simply caught a clean shot from a hard puncher with excellent striking?

Volk got robbed in that first Islam fight. They should be 1-1.

2 years is a LOOOOONG time when you're in your mid 30's.

You need to watch this vid

Yes & no it's complex

[Fjord]

Personally thought Volk rushed back a little bit too quickly for the Topuria fight. Concussions are serious stuff.

 

[Spacebadger]

Volk shouldnt have took the 2nd fight, he was 4-1 and won only 1 minute of the 1st fight in the 5th round.

He'll fight out his contract, or ufc pay him to walk early (which he might take them up on)

Islam fight had nothing to do with this fight

Top deserved it and did it better

Topuria is an animal

I guess you forgot that Volk got finished by Islam ( for the first time ). Maybe his chin would have reacted better to a smaller man, had he not been finished.
