Did Islam look not as good as he did against Oliveira?

Didn't help that the Australians lacked class. Ban all Brazilian and Australian events? That's good with me.

Lacked class? Please tell me your not a Yank? Would genuinely make your comment downright hilarious.

Dominated & finished Charles

Close decisioned Volk…

Well, except Islam vs Charles grappling was fairly even untill the knock down. It could be as simple as Volk could take Islams shot better than Charles.

 

[lifer26]

It was a god damn super fight that lived up to the hype

 

[AndersonSilva23]

Volk just an amazing fighter.

 

[Habib The Eagle]

Dont forget Volk had much much more time to prepare for Islam than Islam had for Volkanovski.

He was a back up fighter for Islam vs Oliveira and he said that he was preparing more for Islam style rather than Olveira style.

That said we need a rematch, this fight was so fucking good. Cant say 100 percent who was better, Its also clear as day Islam needs Khabib i mean he said it himself.

This could be another Figgy vs Moreno situation.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

He didn't seem as sharp to me or as strong and explosive.

What's your thoughts?

Charles has always been chinny , volk is not and he has great technique this is why Islam didn’t seem as good

 

[Ukramervik888]

Love both Volk and Khabib. Difference is s Khabib would've systematically gotten the takedown and aggressively put the GnP on him or subbed him. Volk weathered the storm and would've finished if more time. Should've stood them up. Volk's short little pitter patter and talking was more than what Islam was offering. Damn shame was a close and good fight...

 

[Simple Southerner]

No, he looked like the same fighter, just that Volkanovski was a great challenge

 

[icerealm]

he had much lesser time to rehydrate this play a big part, as he cant use his strength advantage against a bigger frame midget (just kidding), volk is really well hydrated
