[Shay Brennan]

That would be a good scrap. Hardest hitting fw of all time with good wrestling background is a tough opponent for anyone.

 

[Question]

Good shit from him.
Should be a fun fight and Volk wants to be active.

 

[fortheo]

Thank god. I'm just glad there's someone in the top ten ready and willing. That would be a great fight.

 

[Ares Black]

I don't think he has anything for Volkanovski, but would watch.

Volk soundly beats him unless he gets caught but there isn't really anyone else unless Giga runs through Calvin next week.

Pffffttt…

The Real Hardest Hitting FW finished him.

Emmett is on a 4 fight win streak. Not many other top FWs are, except Giga if he wins his upcoming fight. Maybe push the fight back another month and get Cejudo to get in there.

Not keen on the Cejudo fight I see.

Not at all. Tell the cherry picker to win a fight at 145 first before Volk beats him up.

 

[Holli]

Damn this would be a great fight. Two scrappy durable dudes. much respect to emmett

 

[SpurNani]

Would watch. Emmett has two rounds before he gasses out though.

 

[chitoortiz]

Emmett has a solid puncher's chance.

He can KO anyone if he lands clean.

But yes I'd say Volk 9 times out of 10. Very intelligent fighter.

 

[svmr_db]

My preference of who should get offered the title shot if they are gonna keep Volkanovski on the March card

1. Giga Chikadze (if he defeats Kattar)
2. Korean Zombie
   
3. Josh Emmett

 

[JustBleed69]

Not keen on the Cejudo fight I see.

Yeah, that fight is kinda lame to me as well. Done with people just randomly getting title shots and bumping up and down weight divisions.

 

[HaulParris]

I would watch

 

[xhaydenx]

Never really considered Emmet, but thinking about it now, I could actually see him winning.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

This. They will probably wait for that outcome of that fight and make the decision then. Volk also still has to accept the challenge, he may choose to wait for Max, so we'll see how everything plays out next week.

 

[svmr_db]

Never really considered Emmet, but thinking about it now, I could actually see him winning.

I definitely think he's in the discussion if there's going to be a replacement, but I don't really favor his chances vs Volkanovski. I think he's KO or bust, he'd gas out and get picked apart if he doesn't get the finish those first few rounds.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

judging from his usual whiney post fight interviews this should be no surprise

 

[Rorschachxx]

I'd imagine the UFC just scraps it and rebooks the fight soon. Wouldn't be surprised to hear them announce the rebooking within January still. Then again I don't know the extend of Max's injury.
