Anyone feel like Lopes has it against Volk?

[Mohawk Banditó]

He's emotional, I'm probably gonna let him have this one tbh.

Volk vs Silva, Murphy vs Ev seem like the obvious plays

Yup, Volk vs Silva, Murphy vs Ev.

Then we can go to Volk vs Yair, Murphy vs Ev 2.

Then hopefully by that time, Lopes will have gotten a win, so we can do Volk vs Lopes 3, Murphy vs Ev 3

It's obvious

Hindsight is 2020

You bum

Some of us depend on our foresight, which seemed accurate enough.

Ironically, that foresight was actually based on some hindsight, considering how their first fight went.

You know there is, lol. Some cat named Ethan, or Geoff with a G

A generalization I think fits more often than not

Ideally, you can beat 30 year olds while in your 20s, and you can beat 20 year olds while in your 30s.
If you're really special, you may still be able to beat both even while you're closing in on 40.
38 and a day, and afterwards.. all the diminishing returns that are possible are now in play.

I refuse to believe that dude, I’m 32 but I’m only getting faster and stronger, my ability to know how to learn is the best it’s ever been. I catch on way faster than ever before-and I’ve fought from 125-145 so I’m on the smaller side as it is.
The thing is everyone has about the same size organs but different body sizes, experience and fight IQ is huge even with a size disadvantage-and the chin thing? That doesn’t diminish with age-it diminishes with battle damage. You don’t lose chin because you get older you lose chin as you get HITS. That’s why guys like Volk and Couture and START MMA around 30 and stick around at the top for a LONG time-although it is harder at smaller weight classes because the speed and timing are more important and just the start of a decline can show a huge difference compared to ones prime.
That being said, I just started TRT and I don’t think I’ll physically just outright SUCK until I’m 45. The smaller the body-the easier time ones organs have to supply that body which gives more longevity. Volk is simply better than Lopez, in fact Lopez should go train with Volk after this and find out specifically why he keeps losing to him.

I didn't watch this fight but I got it badly wrong.

I assume Lopes would improve and Volk would be cooked. But sounds like Lopes shit the bed again.
