Man, this win is suuch BS

[kuroro]

The excuses were built in. Enjoy.
But, how then do you explain the UD win when he had a full camp.
Just hush up and be humble. Volk is an all-time great, but Islam is just bigger and also great. No knock on Volk

it was a super competitive fight that some people actually thought volk won. that's how i explain it.

 

[kuroro]

He's a true professional and never out of shape and these guys are training every day whether in camp or not

No excuses

if that were true there would be no reason to have fight camps

 

[HHJ]

In all reality this was more because Volk is a manlet then anything else. He had a solid guard up, but since Islam's hips are basically at Volk's chest level the kick easily glided over the guard with full power intact.

A 5'11 Volk wouldn't be in this situation.

He needed to block that with both hands

 

[Goatenstein]

All the Volk lovers must be crying tonight. They'll be crying even more when Topuria leaves him laying next time.

volk signed, but ultimately islam agreed because of many reasons. one, he forever holds the 2-0 against volk. gets to act like he beat a legitimate volk, on 10 fucking days notice. and knows that volk wont ever get a shot again at 155. gets to shut up volk, city kickboxing, hooker, all in one fell swoop. with the UFC media machine behind him, commentators sucking him off, they all completely ignore thats a dude that literally came off the couch, flab and all. garbage ass fight, and everyone pretending here like it was some second coming of the chosen one, lol. 10 days notice. come on people.

come on yourself.IYoure trying to make out that Volk does a Paddy in-between fights
Dudes like Volk train regardless of an upcoming fight or not, there isnt any flab on Volk

keep snivelling into that beer.

Who was ignoring that he came off the couch? That was repeated ad nauseum the entire week. You can complain about the short notice thing all you want but just remember that Islam also beat Volk when he had a full camp.

Short notice, surgery, Abu Dhabi. GTFOH

You need some cheese to go with that whine…

there are probably 50% of the people here, who are discrediting the fact that volk didnt have a fight camp and acting like it's a legitimate win. it's not a complaint, it's the order of events. that's how it went down.

 

[WokeWarrior]

the irony of people who hated on aljo upset at what happened to volk

 

[humdizzle]

Volk told everyone he would KO makhachev early. His fans ate it up.

Now his fans are pulling the short notice card and calling volk a liar for thinking he could compete with Islam. Just so they can discredit Islam's win.

no, the real fans identified right away that volks odds of winning were very very low. no fight camp is the biggest red flag ever. the short notice thing isn't a "card," its a factual order of event, that happened. its a fact. you are a noob if you thought volk was going to win somehow. the odds were too against him. and islams team should have known this is what everyone is going to say, after the fact, for eternity. hence why they had to come out and say, "dont use this as an excuse later." its all marketing and stunt bullshit. which is why they should have just picked gamrot. but gamrot dont sell, and the sultans would rather see a volk fight.

some people actually thought volk won

some people are not very good at judging MMA fights then.

i didnt think he won, but the sherdog guy thought he won, joe rogan, and mighty mouse thought he won. my only point is that that shows how competitive a match it was.
