Patrício "Pit Bull" Freire > Alex Volkanovski

[Edward Henry Greb]

Could you think wins, and both were in their primes?

Patricio decimated Chandler; faced more dynamic challengers; is a harder puncher and a better grappler.

Even though Patrizio lost his last, on points, I believe AJ McKee would outpoint Volk, and I believe Patricio KOs him.

Patricio vs. Volk = Super fight

Would love to see that fight. But my inclination is that Volk fighting someone who is only his height would go poorly for that opponent, so I'd bet on Volk.

Patricio has beaten bigger, better, stronger opponents. (Chandler, McKee, Henderson)

Not only beaten them, but knocked them TF out, savagely.

 

[VinceArch]

Mmm.. I don't know about that one.

 

[Thesnake101]

Idk, Patricio always had issues with great strikers (don't forget how Straus got the better of him on the feet for most of their fights), and Volk is just pretty damn good there.

AJ would be an interesting challenge due to his length, but I could see him getting befuddled by Alex's feints and footwork. They're great fighters don't get me wrong, but Volk just seems to be in the zone right now.

Even in a bad night he dragged Holloway into a close decision, that's how skilled he is.

Bellator GOAT vs UFC 145 GOAT

I'll allow it

Fucking sherdog I tell ya lmao

Would watch

 

[mjfan23]

I think Volk is more in his prime at the moment and this is a fight that could actually happen if ufc buys bellator

But Holloway is not a real KO threat, like Ajay McKee.

Holloway''s T Rex arms, consistent but not devastating attack, is easy to control.

I believe Ajay McKee is a much more dynamic threat than Max Holloway.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

in his prime, pitbull takes it but volk is too sharp right now.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

If Aldo, Holloway and Volk didn't exist.... Patricio would be a champ in the UFC but they do and all while Patricio was in his prime. I do feel like Patricio is a notch above the rest but I don't think he's the caliber of the 3 FW GOATs.

I'd take Patricio over any FW that isn't the 3 GOATs lol.

 

[Th3 Gr38 1]

Patricio will never fight in the UFC.

 

[markg171]

He's stayed in Bellator for like a decade for a reason.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

He's stayed in Bellator for like a decade for a reason.

Because he's better.

Don't forget the guy he KO'd in one round (@ FW) ... Michael Chandler, in Chandler's prime ...

After he was shopworn and defeated in Bellator, Chandler went to the UFC, moved up to LW ... and KO'd Dan Hooker (1), Tony Ferguson (2), almost KO'd Oliveira, and almost KO'd Justin Gaethje, and gave Dustin Poirier a run for his money ... again AT LIGHTWEIGHT.

I don't think you have the mental power to understand how good Patricio Feriera really is.

 

[drbolony]

We get it, you like Brazilians that hit hard.

Volk devastates any version of Pitbull. Too strong, too much cardio, too pretty.

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

volk has a sick record and gave islam a great fight. i dont see any of pitbulls opponents last against islam
pitbull is good but volk is definately better. especially now, volk hasnt shown any signs of weakness in his last fights. he got bested by islam but still looked good.

 

[HolmeZy55]

Fucking sherdog I tell ya lmao

Man this place is the pits sometimes.

 

[wufabufa]

I'm a big believer in Patricio but he's got a lot of miles on his body. Skill for skill he matches up well with a lot of the other top 145ers but physically, he's outmatched against Volkanovski.
