Did today prove that Volk still has it?

Either Jean Silva is a total can, or Diego is an animal with an iron chin and heavy hands. Volk outclassed Lopez and even stood in the pocket and exchanged with him. If Diego is now proven to be good, then Volk must still have it.

Also, this indirectly proves that Ilia is a god amongst men for sleeping Volk so easily.
 
Bro Volk doesn’t get no credit for getting an endless supply of title shots, CTE in almost every fight, and doing virtually next to no damage to his opponents.

Volk at this point in his career just plays the stale pitter patter point game

Why do you expose yourself as a moron?

You should have stopped yourself writing any of this

Why do you always seem so upset? Take your blood pressure meds man

I’m a fan of fighting, not sympathy cases bro.


What Silva and Lopes did tonight was masterful violence. Two hungry guys fighting for a goal.


Volk at this point is getting sympathy title shots for getting consecutively knocked out and then celebrated for boring decision wins.

Yeah he has no power or finishing ability. He’s the successor to great point fighters like Frankie Edgar and Bendo.
 
Volk is good and a fucking truck. He is extremely well rounded. Those guys usually dont finish a ton of fights. As far as lopes he is better then i thought. He has a granite fucking chin. An all time chin

My first thought after the fight was Volks win is aging very well.

Nah he is right, you're constantly negative on here and always making yourself look like a fool.

Sympathy case really? He just beat Diego who beat Silva who everyone was sucking off as the next FW champ, like his style or not he beat a really good guy in Lopes and has only lost to the very best in Top and Islam both P4P 1 and 2.
 
Jean has some crazy moments. When it works it can be flashy, but he exposes himself too much

R1 he tried a crazy spin kick out of distance, which almost cost him the fight

R2 he was winning the exchanges, felt too comfortable and exposed himself again. Exactly what his coach told him NOT to do between R1 and R2.

I mean, hes physical, he has a chin, he hits hard. He seems like a very good fighter, but he needs to be more focused and follow the gameplan.
 
Didn't Volk win a close first round against Topuria before he was KOd after coming back way too soon from a brutal KO at LW?

Volk even says that the KO from Makhachev changed his mindset and that he felt something was off during the Topuria fight and in training camp.

I've never been truly convinced that Topuria beats even this past prime version of Volk if he didn't come back way too soon after the Islam KO.

Yes and no. Jean Silva was only #10 for a reason. He was nowhere near title challenge worthy.
 
Silva looked great, outclassed Lopes on the feet, especially in round 2. Idk if he can be as successful while also not leaving himself exposed once in a while. Like he needs a little less craziness, but the craziness is part of what makes him so good.
Silva literally got KTFO on the feet you sad as fuck fighting nerd.

Put on your special glasses and dance for us.
 
I'm sure hes declined somewhat, nobody is at their best at 36 especially in the lower weight classes. But hes also one of the best p4p fighters in the history of the sport, so even a slightly declined version is still very effective.
