Anyone feel like Lopes has it against Volk?

He's at that age where any night, could very well be 'the night'

I think they want that Mexican demographic so badly, they're going all in on a Brazilian that trains with, and fights like other Mexicans.

They're fucking Movsar around almost as blatantly as Arman.
As a fan of Diego (personally speaking)
I think this gamble is a bit premature, going 0-2 in title fights to a champ that is nearing the end of his career would be a significantly bigger setback for DLs long term prospects this time around.

This should have been Murphy/Evloev vs Volk, and Diego getting the other guy in a number 1 contender fight
U guys r dumbos
 
I dont know. I feel like the first fight Volkanovski won by the skin of his teeth

I feel they are opposite career trajectories but I wouldn't mind being wrong. But right now I feel Diego has all the grappling advantage and it will come down to striking once again

So can Volk outstrike him for 5 rounds? KO him? Finish him with GnP?


Dana can finally let Paul Daley back in now

shut up bum

lopes is a journeyman who didnt deserve the 2nd title shot.
he had a year to prepare against a man 1 foot shorter than him, and did the exact shit he does ---- some bullshit uppercut bang n' pray
 
It's true, Volk just continues to make a fuck out of me. He's a fucking freak of nature
as long as the hands can protect the brain box and the feet can shuffle fast enough to avoid long range attacks the sharper mind will prevail.

The reason I get excited for Volk fights is because he's one of the smartest fighters I've ever seen. My dad has always favored him because of it.
