Matt Brown Says Volkanovski May Have Returned Too Soon. Speaks from His Own Experiences.

All I'm saying is that Topuria landed that exact same punch before and the lights went off in the same exact way.

If that punch lands right on your chin with the power to spin your head like it did Volk's you bet your ass it's gonna ring your bell. Maybe Holloway could take that and still stand but Volk definitely can't, regardless of whether or not he was KO'd a few months before or not.

Aljo or evloev, since neither can bust a grape with their hands

Evloev made Allen do the chicken dance, pretty sure he has enough juice to KO this version of Volk.

I feel like the opposite might be true. Volk may have taken too much time off after the Islam knockout. Volk is a fighter who needs to compete regularly or he falls into his bad habits. I think Volk needs to fight as soon as possible but against easier competition to get his confidence back.

Mendes hurt him with a much weaker punch 6 years ago.
Ilia is a bigger version of Mendes with longer reach and better boxing. Less good takedowns though.
